Thanks, good find! So, if @pirtlj said that in response to Linus's first comment, then he was way out of line, and something should have been said. Maybe Linus didn't say the exact right thing, but I doubt I would have been able to say much

He called someone else a moron, and that person deleted their comment. For all I know, that person's behavior was worse

If I could downvote you, I would. Seeing quote mining that bad on HN makes me sad. Or your english comprehension isn't that good, which is fine if it's not your first language, but still sad if it's your first.

2. He clearly stated his reasons why his text wrapping approach is objectively superior (not correct). If you think he's delusional, point out the criterion he has failed to consider, or explain how some other system meets any of his criter

The project is run and was started by the team asking for backing on Kickstarter. The article hinted at various ways they could make money. I think the most promising would be to allow advertisers on the servers they run, and let them have

I don't see why you think git's approach to history is flawed. If changes to separate areas are kept separate, how can anyone coordinate on a single set of changes? What if 1 patch does't affect an area, but depends on it staying the same?

I see that git has been updated to 'pass' the indent-block test, because it produces the correct output, but the resulting indentation is not correct. I have git.mergetool set to bc3 (Beyond Compare 3), so I tried running 'git mergetool' fo

Try Beyond Compare (I'm not affiliated, just a longtime customer). I just went through each test case and had no problems. Resolving one of the standard conflicts involved using 'align with <F7>' to separate the changes at the end o

Makes me a bit worried for pinboard.io. It's not free, which puts it in a better position than its competition, IMO, but it's a 1 time only payment. I hear they're profitable now, though, and have vowed to not go away like delicious did.

Exactly. After looking at the results of some generic terms (netbook, ultrabook), they're really not equipped for general-purpose feature comparison. But when you narrow it down to a specific model, it seems like it would help you avoid rip

I think we are saying similar things, but I'm getting the sense that you don't think there is a single unified theory to be found (not simply that humans are incapable of understanding it). Do you have a particular reason for thinking this?

I don't see that as an accurate description of how Penrose is thinking about the problem (disclaimer: I've only read this interview, and not any of his books). I think he's saying that 1. Everything about QM other than its extremely accurat

That is what aidenn0 seems to be talking about, but that's not what Penrose is talking about. Penrose is very clear that the predictions of QM are extremely accurate. His contention is that the implications of QM cannot be true (that there

Sounds like #2 could work if you had some sort of desktop notification system. Then you could write a small script that runs your command line with stdout and stderr redirected to temp file(s), and then alerts you when the process is done,

When I see your class definition, I think "why define a whole class for just 1 room?" because then you have to separately define and instantiate every class, an everything would effectively be a singleton (even if you didn't follow the patt

I still use pocket because their mobile app is pretty good at extracting text and storing it locally so I don't need a network, but there are a lot of things that pocket isn't good for, like bookmarking some tutorial or library I'd like to

I'm glad I can help. 3. It might be good to keep the tilted pics in the slideshow, and straight pictures (or actual text) elsewhere. Or maybe tilted everywhere! I can tell you what bothers me, but what really matters is how many clickthroug

Interesting concept. If you don't mind, some comments on your site/service: 1. The slides on the main page aren't showing up for me in FF or Chrome. 2. You're targeting avid readers, and are trying to save them time, but you're pushing vide

Which is why I'm a bit saddened to see another wrapper start up. Does OP even know about them, or does he think he's the first person to have the idea of creating a git porcelain? And then there's always that 1 time you need to do something

I've been using justone's dfm (dotfile manager) script[1]. The only requirement is PERL 5.8, which is just about everywhere, I think. Seems good enough so far, but I'm not sure how I'll integrate Oh-My-Zsh 2.0[2] yet. Maybe someone can comp

I feel that no self-respecting person would use that term, especially on the semi-professional HN site. It's distracting from your technical advice and overly dismissive opinion of people who do things differently from you.

Some feedback on your main site: Each slide has a lot of words, and I can't figure out how to pause it. I'm signing up for the beta because I _think_ I know what your site does, but I'm really not sure. I'd be more comfortable if I could se

My interpretation of your quote is that the feature is there, but if the LHS is undefined, then the error is caught by the compiler, rather than at run-time (what is the falsity of an undefined value?)

Ah, thanks. I was looking at the wrong column. If the $1.5 billion figure is also inflation-adjusted, then it's feasible.

You gave a very simple example. Lets say the contract is to build widgets that frobulate. What if nobody has ever made widgets that frobulate? What if frobulating is poorly defined in the process, and what it means to frobulate changes over
