The gloss of Slack was lost to me when they took down the irc and xmpp bridges. I really liked the freedom to do it my way. Then it became just another crappy messaging app.

The stage is git's killer feature to me. I'm very iterative, so I tend to change a lot of tangential things as I narrow down the best implementation of my code. Knowing that I'm free to change whatever I want and only commit

Just means I can't use it for work, since it turns a 1 line change into a several hundred line commit (all our code has single quotes). These 'opinionated' formatters are great as long as you agree with the opinions they have

Personally, I find this kind of tutorial very helpful. Minimal prose, straightforward code, and lots of comments.

OTRR is pretty good. I grabbed their X Minus One files off of archive.org and they're fantastic. http://otrr.org

I'm just an amateur plan9 user, but one thing it does is allow the application to be written as if it were just a local application. But because everything is just a file, you can have the application use remote resources just by chang

I just installed Windows again for the first time in 20 years (certain games still won’t run on anything else) and after all the talk of how much things have improved, I was shocked at just had bad it is. It’s almost dystopian how tracked a

Conkeror (basically Nyxt on xulrunner…exactly what the upper comment is asking about) used to be my browser of choice. It was baffling to me when they deprecated xulrunner. Like, why? There was supposed to be an alternate way to do it (runn

There’s also a stock audio sound for police radio chatter that is the same as the one in SimCity 2000. Every time I hear that (which is too often) I can’t help but think “well, you cheaped out on sound design"

As someone who benefited personally from Encircle, I’m glad to see them get support. And, maybe more important, recognition on a large stage so that more people can be aware of the work they do.

Yeah, it works on macOS and is actually very nice, but its package catalog is not quite as comprehensive and OS upgrades are a huge headache. In other words, a solid alternative with a different set of issues.

I had an “ah-ha” moment when someone compared the mouse in Acme to vim command mode, and the keyboard to edit mode. Now sam…that’s an editor I just can’t figure out how to be productive in.

http://lite.cnn.io and http://text.npr.org are nice, but neither has an article about this, unfortunately.

The actual film has a director's commentary after the credits that digs into the technical details quite a bit. It may have more of what you're looking for.

I'd love to grow some around my house (just for kicks), but apparently the climate in Utah is not good for holly bushes. My brother lives in Texas, maybe I'll see if he can find some.

I drink Yerba Mate every day, and when I heard about yaupon, definitely had to try it. Unroasted, it's very grassy, but refreshing. The roasted variety I got tasted quite similar to mate. It's really good. The biggest problem I ha

So much condescension for an opinion. What exactly have you apointed yourself to teach me? The original parent asked for an opinion, and I gave it. Perhaps hyperbolic, but also concise in its description. It would not be “informative” for m

> Evidently you're in Utah, USA. > It's good to mention actual location, rather than 'around here', for people that don't know where you are. Why? What difference would that have made? Either the bars exist wh

Ugh. I hate Lindt. It's like eating a battery. Look for an Endangered Species Panther bar. They're in almost every grocery store around here (I can only assume they're popular), 88% cacao, and much less bitter/harsh.

Well, admittedly my current situation lends itself well to 'worktree' where normally a stash is probably just fine. At the moment I'm doing a big rework (porting our software from a 10 year-old OS to CentOS 7), so I have many

I'm not trying to defend Congressman Bishop here. I certainly didn't vote for him. But as a minor counterpoint to those (pretty biased) articles, it's important to understand who he represents. The Federal government owns 66%

I hope they intend to add back the decoration. Comparing the photos the old building had character, but the new one is all blocks and smooth faces.

Why won't they (mubi.com) tell me how much it costs? No prices listed, and clicking links that seem like they would take me to that info send me to the 'subscribe now' nag dialog. That's close-tab-and-forget-about-it beh

I agree, it was absolutely a character. It was loud and visually intimidating, and even had a temperament. It felt like a dragon to me...under 'control', but wild. Not to mention that it was kind of the glue that held the group to

We went to Python 3 for the multiprocessing module. At the time it was 3.3, but now 3.4 has all that async magic. I wish I still worked on that project.

I thought stumpwm was dead until just now! Thanks for that. Did they ever fix the system tray situation? When I last used it (several years ago) there was refusal by the devs to implement any sort of systray support and the third-party tool
