I'm not sure it's really a bug with command-not-found: I think in this case it correctly gives the package containing the erl command, namely erlang-base; the problem is that Ubuntu decided that there should exist an erlang-base p

That 'go rouge' is a neat typo, it sounds much naughtier than going rogue.

You misunderstood the point the author made about erlang-base: it's not that he or she somehow installed Erlang without installing erlang-base, but rather that if in an Ubuntu system you try to run 'erl' before installing any

I'm not sure I get the advantage of DDG's bang commands over using browser search keywords. I have one or two letter keywords for the few site specific searches I occasionally use (I find I use Google for almost everything, these

There's a new release of Racket to go along with the book. It comes with a library ("collection" in racket-speak) with the source code of the book examples. http://blog.racket-lang.org/2013/06/racket

I don't think clojure has triple-quoted strings. Something like """ a """ parses as three strings, two of which are empty: "", "\na\n", and "". (Clojure strin

Most compilers target LLVM? That doesn't sound right. Maybe most compilers written in the last five years or so.

Mmh. That suggestion mentions MathJax, but the WordPress LaTeX plugin many blogs use is not so fancy. That plugin insert formulas as images, dynamically generated by a PHP script, using URL's like this one: http://s0.wp.com/latex.php?

The feature I'm most interested in is not mentioned in this chart at all: whether my feeds will render correctly! I read a bunch of math blogs, many of which are on WordPress and use some LaTeX plugin for formulas. Many RSS readers do not r

I just tested it. You're right. Dictating punctuation works in English, but not in Spanish. I dictated this message including punctuation.

There's no need to assume exactly 3 hexagons meet at each vertex: if you only assume at least 3 hexagons meet at each vertex, then 6N >=3V, and we get that the Euler characteristic is <=0, which is still a contradiction. Of course i

You can also use the ipython notebook instead of qtconsole if for some reason you refuse install At on your system (I have a GTK using friend who so refuses).

ACL stands for Anterior Cruciate Ligament. (In case I'm not the only one who didn't know and was surprised to see this was never mentioned in the article or the comments.)

What do you dislike about the idea of asm.js? (You mention that some people think asm.js is evidence that you can't make things fast enough in regular JavaScript, but that is something you dislike about people's reactions to asm.js, not an

What search engine did that person use? Altavista, maybe, if it still exists? all the others have silly names: Google, Bing, Dogpile, Blekko, Ask Jeeves, ...

No need for the correction, "could care less" is standard American English. It seems to me to be even more common than "couldn't care less" nowadays.

I guess the vim issue I ran into (that I solved by telling vim to use sh: set shell=sh), is the same sort of problem as the 'git mergetool' problem you mention.

Oh, that explains why I need to run sudo with the -i option sometimes while using fish as my default shell! I'm going to try setting my shell to bash, and configuring my window manager to run fish in terminals. Who knows what other variable

Several purple have mentioned 'incompatibilities' and I don't understand the problem: sure fish syntax is different and fish cannot be used to run a sh script, so just don't try to run sh scripts with fish. Every script I've run across star

You needn't have said "aside from Google": it seems that Google doesn't use Go for the search engine.

That's certainly the upgrade that screwed up my Nexus 7: have it random pauses and terrible battery life.

How does the reply feature fix the chronology problems? If you want to make a comment that refers to two previous comments, where do you put it to guarantee it stays after both of them?

I think that mode-theorists wouldn't consider the shaking icons thing to be a mode, since it's obvious when you're in it. What they call a mode is a program state that the user can easily be in without realizing it and that affects the resu

But even with a generator, as you would get from range in Python 3, the assignment a, *b = range(10) makes b into a list. (And I think the star syntax in assignments is only Python 3, as far as I remember Python 2 only has star in
