No! Pacifism has no spectrum, like anarchism. You can't have a little bit of government with anarchism any more than you can have a bit of violence with pacifism.

So much for "above the fold."

I have no such reservations about the NPM/CPAN style, but your assertion that the only other choice is "NIH" isn't quite true. With Python for instance, you can choose SQLAlchemy for your ORM. It has no depencencies. In

I feel safer riding in automobile traffic than cycle traffic. There are too many competitive or clueless riders. I'd be more inclined to wear a helmet if I were riding in a separated bike lane because there's less room to negotiat

The author makes really good points about Bitcoin's viability right now as a day-to-day currency. The conclusion at the end, that "What Bitcoin really needs is a central bank to stabilize its value" comes out of left field. N

Not so different from features that only worked with Google Gears before, Chrome essentially being Gears, matured.

I'm afraid you're misinformed. When we think of PHP, most of us are thinking of PHP embedded in the Apache web server using the mod_php extension. This is what almost everybody was using until very recently when FastCGI gained som

Congratulations on getting published by No Starch! Your website is very useful, especially the sed one-liners.

Agreed, I'm moving my small website to a bash static generator right now. But I'm not so sure about hosting comments with somebody like Disqus. Better to host and moderate them yourself, or skip them altogether. You could do a lot

More to the point, the players have minutes to hours, not days, to study the position. It can be a very good strategy to play a surprising but perhaps less than optimal move to break the opponents' concentration and hopefully get them

What perpetuates the myth that Bitcoins are anonymous and the stuff of super-spies? Cash is anonymous and reduces the power of law enforcement, not a currency that comes with a public audit trail.

So is this the death of the browser.tabs.onTop setting? Everybody has to use tabs on top now?

Try putting your `xmodmap' command in `~/.xinitrc'. It gets read whenever the X server starts (`startx').

While we're on the topic, this page is heavily astroturfed like those of many large companies. A number of sockpuppets are implicated in the page's history. I enjoyed contributions by "ParsonsRep" [1] which aren't s

Right now the word processor choices are Word or open-source Word clone, so I don't see the point for the end user. I use Libre/NeoOffice, but it's no easier to use than Word. I'd like to see a word processor more like o

Ah, of course, you would want to create a slackpkg for Slack, and push to the AUR for Arch. It's still good to offer the .tgz as a baseline for users of systems you might have forgotten or not have time to package for though, (BSD, etc

I love Grooveshark but disagree that it's any good for finding obscure music. For instance, Rare Essence is the most popular Go Go (a DC genre) band of all time excluding Chuck Brown and his band (the Soul Searchers), Brown having crea

py2pp for the Mac. It appears there is a py2deb and py2rpm for Linux, and I imagine users of Arch, Slack, etc. would be expected to download a .tgz and `setup.py install` it.

It would be very bad. Birds and small fish hugely depend on mosquitoes for their diets. Ticks are another matter. While birds will eat them, no species that I know of depends on them for its diet. We probably can safely eradicate ticks.

Oh, come on, are you trying to say that all endangered species will just adapt to live amongst humans if their habitat is destroyed? Your idea about polar bears foraging for human garbage is laughable: These creatures are (1) purely carnivo

Building a business is very hard work. Some people can pull it off working few hours a week, but the majority will tend towards the 60-80 hours and be able to eventually taper that if they're lucky.

My experience is that for every developer who adopts a new technology for its true merits, there are at least two others who use it only because it is at the top of Hacker News/Ruby Weekly/other trendy publication, and those devel
