I'm not against advertising. I just think most of it is done badly and in poor taste. If you want to sell me something in an entertaining or classy way I am more receptive than I would be from you just shouting at me. I think "sho

Well I use it (and I assume most people use it) because I don't want to see ads. Advertising on the web is largely just obnoxious, ugly, and crude. Also the relentless tracking is a little creepy, so there is another small benefit to u

I also had these when I was a kid (and Legos, K'Nex, Erector sets, model car kits, etc). These didn't have as much of an impact on me as some of the other toys. There isn't really as much flexibility as there is with sets lik

It's probably fine. Back in the day (early 00s) I used Gentoo and I think pretty much everyone used march (because why not?) with no real negative side effects. It may be a little more buggy with uncommon or new architectures. I did ha

Now it seems ISPs have been holding back the Internet (in the US). There's almost no competition on price, bandwidth, latency, etc. Nobody is pushing the envelope.

I believe that is the point of the linked email. Some distributions have less symlinked to something else (e.g. the lesspipe script) for convenience. Plain 'ol less isn't that much of a problem.

I'm sure FreeBSD is probably better at memory management than Linux (considering his Desktop issues) but wouldn't it make sense for the OS to nearly max out memory usage as long as applications can make use of it?

This sort of thing is very important. One of the (many) issues that hinders open source projects is that it is difficult to jump into the code, even for experienced developers. Every project can benefit by making contributing easy and build

Was the naming an honest mistake or deliberate marketing move? :) I've heard absolutely nothing about Groupon recently (they are selling a POS now?!) until this happened. Probably an honest mistake, though. Gnome seems an odd choice fo

I removed that part. Was unnecessary anyways, not sure why I felt the need to make such a comparison.

For whatever reason, programmers and hackers as a group are disproportionately socially inept compared to the general population. This manifests itself in nasty behavior towards women (underrepresented in our field and generally being more

I wonder why there doesn't seem to be any implementation for AirPrint/ePrint in Linux. Seems like a good lightweight alternative to CUPS for wireless systems/devices. Also, I am curious: is CUPS still used in OSX?

At the end of the semester, students who enjoyed the course should just tip their professors. Adding a real free-market incentive would increase class size and teaching quality, right? Let's let the invisible hand of the market decide

I use vim for nearly everything, but will jump into an IDE when in a complex environment that lends itself to using an IDE (Android, C#, etc).

By default, most themes look like shit on terminal Emacs (emacs -nw if you don't want the window to open). Since he appears to be on Linux, another way to solve this issue is to use a terminal that supports 256 colors. urxvt and Xter

This also illustrates the weakness of using just a password for authentication to anything of value.

I can't believe I'm "defending" Comcast, but this sounds made-up. Why would Comcast care about Tor and if they wanted to discourage use why would they confront customers using it?

Within the few industries I've had a peek at (not hip startups or web companies) this doesn't appear to be that big of a problem. Companies that rely on Python 2 code in the background seem to be sticking with Python 2 without any

14,227 performances of music (almost every track 100% owned by me) generated $4.20. Someone’s making money, and in true fashion with the music industry, it’s not the artists. Who's making tons of money from streaming 14 thousand so
