   I just sync a directory of markdown files (and subdirectories) with Dropbox, and use whatever editor is appropriate on whatever desktop/mobile OS. Easy, simple, no botnet.

   This is doubly annoying when you're on a fresh install of some distro (in my case, Fedora) and it just starts whinging about files and services you've never heard of, before I've had a chance to do anything with the system. &

   In other words, there is an alternate universe in which Gitlab is now categorically dead, all because that employee didn't make that single backup.

   I recall this being an element in Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress". The lunar colonists live much longer than their 'Earthworm' counterparts because of the low gravity.

    I should clarify, I'm on the fifth warranty replacement. I'll not be replacing it once the warranty runs out in march.

    I'm on my fifth fitbit in about 10 months. After a few weeks, like clockwork, the rubber housing will start to peal away from the display, eventually leading to the glue coming unstuck and the housing bubbling up. Needless to say, I&#x

    Spoiler alert: you owe your own life directly to advances in medicine too. The notion that only the "inferior" have a need of these advancements is imbecillic.

    I draw a distinction between "The Internet" and "Internetting". The former is the wonderful tool and repository of knowledge, the latter is basically dicking-around-on-reddit. I can use "The Internet" whenever

    Same, I downloaded practically every major distro over the last month as research for what to put on my new Thinkpad. Once the new machine arrived this week, I just stuck Ubuntu on it and deleted everything else.

    That's pretty cool. I kinda wish the likes of NPM would output cool skeletons and heavy-metal vampire chicks while I wait ten minutes for it to install stuff.

    I've had it happen to me in the last week, with Fedora 25 Workstation Edition, the latest and greatest. This seems like a good example of YMMV :)

    The thing that kills it for me is that Fedora ships with broken default configuration. Install Fedora, reboot and log in. Chances are within minutes you'll start seeing "selinux denied" messages popping up, complaining about

    I had exactly the same experience at a previous employer, almost word-for-word. Having said that, the central assertion is still correct: the absolute best developers I've ever worked with were also top-tier sysadmins (or linux experts
