Depends on Bash which is not popular in many platforms, builds with autoconf. My granny is not going to use Quilt.

It's actually a good idea. People often don't bother version-controlling simple stuff because it's a hassle. I routinely use my own rdiff/rsync scripts but this is not something you find in every system and also not some

If it's 18 months it's not so bad. A nice long holiday you can actually use to brush up your general skills and CV, or retake that side project you never had time to finish. You're still officially employed so it doesn't

In Google+ it says "attended Stanford University" https://plus.google.com/109990231058522395347/posts (so maybe a Stanford dropout?).

Does it have a colour camera? or maybe it's a bandwidth-saving decision to transmit only B&W? or because of the lighting?

There's the problem with a generic encyclopaedia extended to include news and current affairs to leverage the dynamics of the web: policies that are good for some usages are bad for others. I don't think Wikipedia should base its

There may be worse places in the UK, I honestly haven't compared that much with medium-sized cities like Manchester or Birmingham. Among international big capitals (which is what you can really compare London to) it has to be the worst

I never felt like that anywhere and I'm from a small town. My home was really my family and my closest friends. Once these scattered away there was no particular place I'd call home. And about the last part of your message, actual

It happens in London as well, mostly outside of commute time. But yeah, there's no real sense of community in London, or in any big city really. Neighbours don't even know each other more often than not. There's pros and cons

They're relatively few outside of the City and Canary Wharf. Baltics are significant and they're listed.

Yeah well, that's pretty much all big cities when you arrive on your own, especially after student age. It's also very expensive to move around, and at this it's one of the worst places.

Imagine a police force so corrupt and dangerous that you would rather deal with criminals yourself than having them dispatched to your whereabouts. Or you being from a minority routinely targeted by police. These are not things you'd e

Great stuff. Congratulations, Gavan. Very promising projects are failing to get funded now, it got really hard for games in KS.

I wouldn't immediately assume that someone working in my organisation put zero thought into his allocations.

That is one thing, and a different thing is recommending that people go through all their allocations ever and just make them all grow exponentially on a x2 rate without much more consideration to what was expected in each case.

Yep but your post is about "fixing" all possible allocation strategies to exponential growth: "please grow your buffers exponentially", "if you know of some more code in Firefox that uses a non-exponential growth st

There is no substitute to profiling and testing your code thoroughly under real world conditions (and worse, stress conditions). Having this in mind you can have your rules of thumb, but trying to sell a problem like this as solved with a s

Right. But would you blame the cash? rather than the "enthusiasts"? Also, note that this "cash" is readily exchangeable for US$, Euro, etc. which makes this "BTC smells" argument absolutely pointless. Just imag

Because it has nothing to do with Bitcoin. It's because he was signed up to something without his consent. Bitcoin works not differently to cash in regards to taxation, and if you got dodgy envelopes with cash you wouldn't blame &

Sorry Armin/Mr Ronacher/Mitsuhiko but your "Bitcoin is Wild West" rant is unwarranted. Your problem has little to do with Bitcoin and all to do with the fact that a bunch of guys signed you up to their payment service wi
