Very odd. I can't imagine the rationale. "But you could watch pirated movies with it".... uh yeah, same for VLC, can I sell my Macbook on Facebook?

I wouldn't say Utahns "love porn", just that the study showed they're willing to PAY for it more than any other state.

While developing, I hack my /etc/hosts to point at a local dev environment. Is this to say that Firefox would ignore that as well?

Having used (and loved) both Magit in Emacs and Fugitive in Vim, I totally get it. It's simply a pleasant experience to not switch contexts too far away from my editor. I certainly don't mind performing Git-related tasks in my ter

That CTRL+SHIFT+C thing in Gnome Terminal/Ubuntu (and some others) has driven me nuts for years!!! yes, I get that CTRL+c means something different in the context of shell execution. But it's still maddening.

I hear I could even run i3.... I can't wait to give this a shot.

Ha, yeah, FAR from "cool". But we did deal with some cool satellite imagery, and I can confirm, the earth is indeed roundish.

I was a contractor for the Forest Service at the Remote Sensing Application Center in Utah. The Rails tools were mostly internal... but yup, I lobbied hard to be allowed to write something other than PHP, C#, or Java.

Back in 2013, when I worked for the Federal Gov, JRuby was the best way to get Ruby on Rails apps to run in a Windows-only world. I absolutely love the work that folks like Charles do!

That sounds interesting, thanks!

It's a wonderful book. I own a paper copy of the first edition. I know there's a second edition coming. It isn't a substitute for api docs... at all. Take a look at this: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/vec

Phew, I thought you were talking about the ecosystem as it refers to docs. The docs for OCaml and the Core library are so absolutely terrible. It's like 1996 threw up in an HTML doc and no one has thought to change any of it. Sadly, Re

Believe me, I wish I COULD run linux on my main laptop for work. Unfortunately, I write a webapp that is run 50% by mobile Safari users. When a bug happens, I need to be able to plug into Safari's dev tools. Other than that, I often ne

I bought an ASRock B350 a couple of days after the Ryzen 2400G release. It was flashed with a firmware new enough to handle it. The Gigabytes waited a LONG time to bring their boards up.

I'm in such disbelief. I mean, I totally believe this happens, I'm just shocked that adults.... with jobs... that can afford to go to conferences... act like this. Worse, what does one really expect when DMing someone with "I

I bought an "only for non-US" version of this book... only to find out it was somehow illegal for me to own it. Doesn't really seem fair. Just because my country is "rich" doesn't mean that I am.

The only sports I watch is when the Florida Gators play. So YoutubeTV is near perfect for me. If they'd just add HGTV, it would be absolutely perfect. I could not care less about any other sporting event... so, my subscription just sit

I loved TextMate back in the day. I remember it being touted as "the beautiful Emacs". I still think it has one of the best snippets engines.

Those SD letter boxed locals are Comcast actively degrading the signal, so they can sell the HD version (which is how they receive it) at an inflated price. I sometimes think this might be illegal to tamper with a broadcast signal to degrad

If I had it to do over again, I'd probably switched to Erlang or something. There just was no REALLY good solution in the early days of the web. (Not that Erlang is a good choice for e-commerce)

You'll have to remember the time when it was created. The idea of "write once, run anywhere" was considered a huge net positive. It can run on your Big Iron, and it can run on your watch. The fact that it was quickly adopted

The hack-ability of the two products is pretty different, right? The reason Vim Mode Plus (for Atom) is so amazing is due to GitHub's original internal plugin for Vim emulation being a "first-class-ish" citizen. The fork has

That's the beauty of these "pinewood derbies" though. Sometimes they sit dormant until some kind soul says, "HEY!, that's not representative of my favorite framework!" and submits a PR to showcase its true capa

Why do I see this: `There are no releases available for openjdk9-openj9`? I'd love to play with it, but I would rather use JDK 9.

Two of my nieces are out serving their "3 month pest control mission" as I write this. I hope they don't come back promoting the bro culture. In all seriousness though, a few years ago, the bro culture in some of these Utah V
