I think you're getting your terminology mixed up: the bash man page calls what you described command substitution. Launching a subshell is something different and in bash it is done with parenthesis.

I don't understand how removing the verb in a sentence is supposed to be a correction. :)

It might be misleading in this context to say Sage is built on IPython: while the Sage terminal repl is built on the IPython terminal repl, the Sage notebook is not built on the IPythn notebook.

I don't think sub-editors are a compelling example: people in those positions are likely to ignore the language they learned growing up and stick instead to some made up rules they believe are 'more proper'. I have definitely heard British

What do you mean Python cannot handle large numbers? It has an arbitrary precision integer data type built in: >>> 3**1000 13220708194808066368904552597521443659654220327521481676778313850608061963909777696872582355950

If you had that sort of experience, wouldn't it have been easier to write SQL instead of Linq?

I haven't used either one, but from reading the descriptions it sounds like ag has fewer features, for examples it doesn't have the --output option to tailor how results of matches are presented. On the other hand, it sounds like it should

Where's Wally? is a famous British series of picture books that are used to play a game of spotting a certain character named Wally. They are published in many countries around the world and in two of them, the US and Canada, I think, Wally

Is this a fork of the other shell named fish? I use a shell also named fish with the same syntax as this one, but whose development stopped a few years ago.

I think it was meant as a setting, which could live along side a default to HD setting.

Proof of what? The post you're commenting on makes two claims: (1) mean correlates with stupid, (2) more stupid people watch TV than read. How does your library experience prove either of those things? I guess you meant (2), but how do you

Under some circumstances, yes, you should have a reason: say Google makes it require an effort to keep the accounts separate (I think this might aspect be the case), then you probably should have a reason for thinking its worth the effort.

It sounds like something weird is going on, I would expect the following behaviour: if you have a font with the cat glyph installed on your system all browsers display the cat, if you don't have a font with the glyph then no browser display

For me the best feature of the 2.0.9 release is that the documentation builds again! I tried compiling 2.0.7 and got some weird errors from texinfo. I couldn't figure out how to fix them quickly so I just installed without documentation. Bu

They often don't go into historical details in math, either. So CS is not alone and may in fact inherit this ahistoricalness from math.

I don't know what people mean when they say RSS is a dead technology, but it solves a problem for which I know no other solution: reading blogs or other websites that are very rarely updated and are about unpopular topics. If a website only

Is 'markdown hinting' just 'markdown' or is it something new markdown related that I might enjoy?

Some thing are hard no matter how you try to explain them. There's lots of stuff that seems to require working through it yourself to understand.

You mean with GObject there's a lot of boilerplate if you use it from C, but it's supposed to be pretty nice from Vala.

Liferea is worse than useless for me, it's downright dangerous: I procrastinate enough as it is, I don't want an RSS reader than I can only use when I'm at my computer and most probably should be working! RSS readers go on the tablet or pho

If you replace 1 with 2 this is an argument against using a vast number of languages, including Squirrel, I think. So maybe you're really saying that languages should forbid non-Boolean values in if statements. Maybe I agree with that.

If I understood your comments in this thread correctly what you are calling an inconsistency is that there are many values x for which if x then print "OK" end prints "OK" but for which x == true returns false. Is that rig

Does Cython give you much better results than PyPy? I would have thought that if just a few type annotations make a big difference tracing in PyPy could figure them out.
