I like how he points out here https://twitter.com/mjg59/status/700073945064611841 that zfs was "merged into the kernel tree," but so far as I know the GPL doesn't dictate that things can't be s

This is very true. I can't count the number of times that I've had to dive into werkzeug code while trying to figure out how Flask was doing something.

Does it really matter? Most terrorist networks would be claiming responsibility for the attack if they were involved.

While this is true, a good deal of porting could be managed by packaging up old code into Perl5 modules and using Perl6 to glue it together, no?

At what point will people consider Rust mature enough though? If we're going on number of years in existence, then C will always be older than Rust and the "well it's more 'battle-tested'" argument will never

It seems like it's probably "lower" impact (i.e. no physical bombs) by higher participation (people are more likely to shout on Twitter than actually bomb some place).

Communities of marginalized people also contain toxic people, unless you want to believe that by "virtue" of being marginalized we can assume a lack of toxicity.

The parent was speaking of software that does fit within the MAS model. It seems disingenuous to start talking about software that doesn't as a counterpoint.

But Hangouts injects its own icon in the CMD-Tab bar and the Dock. I feel like it this really shouldn't happen unless the app can truly be treated separately or else things start breaking or behaving in ways that the user does not expe

Well, Chrome tends to be ahead of the curve on a lot of things. For example, you need to upgrade to El Capitan to get true flexbox support in Safari (or iOS9 on iOS devices). This coupled with the fact that Chrome users don't need to d

The most frustrating part for me is that CMD-Tab'ing to, say, Hangouts will show me the Hangouts window. Now if I try to CMD-Tab to Chrome, it stays on the Hangouts window even though they are trying to treat them as separate applicati

I don't have any experience developing iOS or Cocoa applications, but I imagine that you need to use at least some of the XCode toolchain to make those things happen.

Well, one thing about Safari is that upgrades seem to be tied to the OS. As a web developer, this makes testing things on different versions of Safari a bit difficult. Also, you have to upgrade the entire OS to get a new version of Safari,

That's because Python 2 has a special case for lists[1]. This does not exist in Python 3[2] (and therefore neither does the performance difference). [1] https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Pyt

If you look at the the StackOverflow in my sibling comment to yours, running 'obj.attrname' on a namedtuple takes longer because it needs to translate 'attrname' to an integer index and then run (e.g.) 'obj[0]'

Maybe not in this particular case, but you could definitely make a case that photographing political candidates as that pass within range of a day-trip (or maybe a two-day-trip) of where you live is just the cost of time, gas, (food,) and
