He's using the same definition of "net neutrality" I was using... What do you mean by it?

In fairness, people might want laws about not being stabbed, while still being okay with not having laws about sharing information online.

JSON makes me think of the Argonauts. They should probably change the name to something like "Language-agnostic hash-based data interchange format" or something. In all seriousness, if you're familiar with protobuf the name s

I fear any replacement will be just as bad.

Personally, I prefer the slashdot system. Limited voting points makes you think more carefully about spending them, and being able to differentiate between +1 Insightful and +1 Funny is nice too. Also, moving popular posts to the top is gre

Concise implies both short and information-rich. In my experience with twitter, the former is certainly true but...

For what it's worth, I don't find it good for readers. People tend to leave out context and nuance.

So instead of policing every line of code we should just use prepared statements everywhere?

"Compensate" always seems like an odd word to use for paying someone to do what they presumably enjoy. To me "compensate" primarily means giving someone money/something in exchange for loss or inconvenience you&#x27

Honestly, if the failures are on par with or better than Fukushima I'm really not worried.

Does every program which accepts filenames also accept file descriptors? I can definitely see the use of having a name to pass around.

In-editor terminal? ^Z or :shell (Asking for an in-editor terminal makes about as much sense as my whinging that Eclipse doesn't have an in-terminal editor) In-editor debugger? I admit this is less than ideal. A REPL? Languages suited

I think the only complicated-looking thing in C is the syntax for declaring function pointer types. If you use typedefs you end up with typedef int (*math_op)(int, int); math_op ops[] = { add, subtract }; int a = ops[0](

Between ^Z, :<range>!, :grep, make, and other tools, vim has great compatibility with my system, thanks :)

Knowing I've made something of quality. For me, that's more important than people using/paying for my stuff.

Well, having an intuitive understanding goes a long way too. Being able to derive formulae rather than just having them memorized is good. Of course, I don't want a book that doesn't include the formulae, but I want to know the &q

I realise you're done with Gentoo, but I just want to make sure people are aware of ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" which automatically installs "unstable" versions of packages. Unstable is pretty damn stable in my

As another Gentoo alternative, I'd suggest Funtoo which is essentially a set of patches on top of Gentoo by the original creator.

Regarding 1), and I realise this is anecdotal... I had a binary package manager install all of X11 and Gnome 2, simply 'cause I tried to install the svn command-line client. This was on a server-style box I only sshed into, with limite

This is my impression too. Every now and then I run emerge --sync && emerge -avDNu world, do a quick sanity check, then leave it alone. I've spent enough time on other linux distros chasing down PPAs, or trying to diagnose weir

That's interesting. I dread arguing with any non-portage (that is, non-Gentoo) package manager. Maybe that's just 'cause I'm used to portage though.

When Chrome first came out, I remember double-clicking the icon and having it appear almost before I registered that I finished clicking. Now it takes like a second. I use suckless.org's surf now, and it "feels" faster than a

Indeed. As you carry on in that direction, hiring a car when necessary may become much more attractive compared to the upkeep on a car you only use occasionally.

While I agree the comment didn't add much, I think your reply was perhaps also a touch rude. Then again, my comment isn't adding much either. And to tomn's credit, the lyric is a bit more relevant than just some random line:

Whom is fine, but so is using "who" in its place. If in doubt, use who. On that note, it reminds me of a company I did some work for recently. They never used "me", only "myself": "Yes, he gave it to mysel

Ah, that's quite reasonable actually. Forgive my bitterness.
