First time I saw an idea like this was with termkit [1], which I thought was great and was sad to see it didn't get continued development. I really feel like we overlook the ways in which we limit ourselves by having our CLI interfaces

I had always wondered, if they were going to try to give copyright infringement the name of a worse crime to dissuadde people, why would they pick something as cool and popular as PIRATES? I had no idea the usage was so old. It makes sense

It should, and the whole thing is a run-on sentence anyway. Par for the course from the British school system.

Ugly sign with poor typography, unbalanced spacing and low standard of English. Why not take pride in your work?

I tried to guess which direction they'd go before opening the link. I guessed: Helvetica logo, flatter design (it's already flat, so maybe removing the little android character and going for something abstract like a triangle). I

Same experience here. And IIRC (it was a while ago), after happily hoovering up my CV and personal data, the rejection message was worded as if they were at capacity, not even that they didn't want me specifically. Could have said that

Don't know why I'm surprised, but what a good article! In-depth, imformation-dense, and easy to read. Goes on way past the point when the author could have stopped writing and still got shares on social media. I've always lik

Because I, for now, have the ability to make my computer say what I tell it to say, I have developed a small Firefox extension [1] that tells it what to say. Silly? Yeah. Petty? Yeah. But sometimes it feels good to exercise your rights. [1]

Strange to see Netflix on the list, because here in the UK it's extremely easy to cancel. You just click once and it's done, and you still get to watch for the rest of the month. I'm sure it can't be because of UK law, b

Don't know why you're flagged, that's hilarious. The PDF literally lists "Asian" as a category of babe alongside "Undead" and separately from "human".

Can a British citizen just apply to a US company and they'll sort it out if you get the job? Or does the applicant have to navigate the visa process themselves? (I'm a Brit who's always had one eye on the US... becoming two e

To be honest, it represents that to me too... it's just not the facet of Linux that occurred to me when I thought about OP's dream.
