Except Preview 8 (post-Mavericks) sucks. Annotations of any kind always appear in the center of the page and have to be manually moved into position, it doesn't easily recognize selections, combined documents don't always retain c

Where did you find the "README.md"? The op link has 5 bullet points from the v1.0.0 release notes and a "thanks to..."

So what exactly is it? No explanation on Github. Based on the first comment here it seems to be a javascript library of some kind, but nothing on what it does or should be used for.

From the site ( http://www.lugaru.com/why-lugaru.html ): 'Sometimes people ask what our company name, Lugaru, means. It's actually a phonetic spelling of the French word for werewolf, "loup-garou". One day

No explanation of what's going on?

by pschastain 10y ago
Maybe, except the author doesn't clarify what exactly the problem is, or that s/he's offering a solution. A solution is only viable if it's both discoverable and understandable.

by pschastain 10y ago
Exactly. And the author doesn't bother to explain.

by pschastain 10y ago
Even more reason to clarify.

What a worthless link. How about an explanation of the problem? Stop what? Not resetting? Why is a reset necessary? And why the double-negative? Why not "noreallyjustfuckingresetitalready"?

But where does this wealth go? I love the idea of autonomous vehicles - I drive A LOT - but I also agree with Prof. Hawking and what he's said about technology and the wealth/opportunities it generates serving the few vs. the many

It's more than a subtlety, imo. A distro is an OS, and linux is the kernel. An OS implies direct user interaction; the kernel runs the hardware in the background. Seriously, take a moment to explain the technical shit in a way that som

I stopped reading when the author referred to Linux as an operating system.

So I don't know much at all about kernel debugging, but when the author mentioned not being able to attach a debugger to launchd since it's PID 1 I got to wondering if it would be possible to use a debugger by launching OS X in a

An excellent article. Unfortunately, you can't comment on it on the site without a Facebook account, and that I don't have.

If you talk to higher management, make sure the project neglect and subsequent loss of income is forefront in your concern. If the problem person has friends in higher management, you may be screwed one way or the other, but if you keep it

Apparently there wasn't a lot of collaboration on the site code itself; as has been mentioned, it's pretty buggy. Or maybe that's the REAL test...

Already signed it, but thanks for putting it back on the radar; it's an important issue that needs to be addressed.

I can't stand engineers who assume that they know better than those who use their products. Not just hiding the ability to easily disable javascript, but RE-ENABLING IT AGAIST THE USERS EXPRESSED DESIRE via an update - seriously, your

DDG is has been my primary search engine for about a year now, and I do what I can to proselytize for it. Their results aren't always as comprehensive as the bigger engines, but I can usually find what I need.

How does removing functionality "put [me] in control" or "bring freedom"? It does exactly the opposite; it leaves me with less freedom and control.

A bit off-topic, but the site locks up Chrome on Snow Leopard and causes one my cores to peak, and I'm forced to eventually kill the tab. Firefox has no problems. Any ideas why that might be? Otherwise, a fun read-through.

Changing back 01/01/1970 via Date & Time preferences doesn't need authentication, but the exploit still didn't work, at least for me.

Obj-C anyone? Seems to meet all their requirements - OO, exception-handling, memory management via either ref counting or GC, and it's a C-superset so C-based optimizations would be easy. Maybe the run-time is to large and/or complicated? A

And synapse-core adds what functionality, exactly? I gave up trying to figure that out from the ppa site and Googled it instead: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&tbo=d&...

While I'd agree that overall it is lacking, Finder does support ftp/ftps.
