In my experience such "lightweight" distros, over time, accumulate expanded functionality/compatibility/surface area and inevitably/gradually become "heavier". Then the community complains "X" is

For those of us not actually working at aws redshift gets insanely expensive when your data set grows into the terabytes. Analytics on s3 is much more cost effective using athena snowflake or old fashioned emr as yourdata grows

Hi I'd be curious to see what youve built. Can you supply links?

Ok so if I want to build a fledgling project all I need to do is leverage a language nobody uses yet. Lolcats ftw. Seriously though constraining dev's to use a monolithic repository in the name of discouraging cowboys is like tying peo

Nobody told me about the code of ethics I have. Can you send me a link? Is it somewhere in the windows 7 EULA I can never get myself to read those darn things :)

I couldn't agree more. Why is the API not public? Is it because some sort of top secret corporate conspiracy? Or is it that management just decided to avoid the burden of publishing and maintaining an immature or lesser used API? After

That's a good point. There's got to be a way I can replace these wheels with some sort of modern javascript framework.

Yeah this is cool looking but isnt it just as effective and simpler to just have big knobby tires with adjustable pressure?

by pweissbrod 8y ago
Wouldnt it be a better/simpler design to just have big tires that can change pressure instead

Agreed except the modified devices should be restricted from joining the online community of non-modified devices

Doubtful. You underestimate the inertia of resources. Wages for tech are more competitive in the US. I also bet if your prediction started to become true then lobbyists would push regulations to reduce the brain drain. That being said I&#x2

I for one would LOVE to try a spoken UI for an email client. My thinking has always been that compromising sacrificing plain english with a more strict/limited set of mnemonic keywords would introduce a learning curve but with a bigger

As someone who also developed on windows phone I really disagree with this portrayal. Microsoft did not change the stack on account of "getting bored" with the tech. Looking back on it, they took on an extremely difficult problem

Bans like this seems to increase the opportunity/value for "alternate" app stores outside the recommended vendor, offering things that the vendor wont. EDIT: Point is that many apps receive a ban because they conflict with th

To me, the beautiful thing about this zappa approach is that I still follow the spec of a UWSGI-compliant app and I get the benefit of quick deployment to lambda without any form of vendor lock-in as it is also straightforward to plug the s

Vim orgmode user here. Combining checklists with outlines with a bunch of org files in a git repo has worked well for me over the last year or so. But you know that's just for personal tracking purposes

UI seems to be effectively described using some sort of a markup language. HTML being the most well-understood markup language becomes a reasonable thing for stuff outside just web pages. It isnt perfect but it gets the job done. Sorta like

^^^ This needed to be said. I feel lucky that 95+% of everything I need can be done in terminator and/or firefox. For that time where the window manager is needed just something basic and familiar like XFCE or a plain old windows start

I dont quite understand the basic legal details behind this. Say I buy a computer with windows pre-installed that means the OS license cost is bundled in to the price of the machine. Say I have a computer without windows, or maybe an older

@wsdjeg: thank you for your continued work on spacevim

More than likely youre right. Your statement brings me a curiousity: What the legal precedence is for UX patterns considered deceptive enough to be intentionally malicious? The best I could find was a settlement with linkedin in 2015: http

What is the sweet spot of Oni? If you're looking for a full-blown IDE with vim UI on top then the vs code IntelliJ Visual Studio does reasonably good job at that. If you're looking for a beefed-up version of vim as an IDE spacevim

I think your statement in the form of a question boils down to "banning high powered weapons affects less people than banning sites with personals". Perhaps youre right in that angle but you originally said "Why is the right

You're diminishing the gun control debate. It means more than the right to skeet shoot certain weapons. You're inflating the FOSTA debate, it mean less than a general attack on free speech.

by "preventable" I presume you mean prevented by relinquishing all citizens rights and the rights of their descendents permanently to the government. I'm not debating gun laws, Im pointing out how readily it seems people are
