Even if you don't fix or extend anything yourself, a sufficiently popular open source project is immortal in a very real sense. Think of it as insurance for one of you most important tools.

This also blocks me from using TextSecure/Signal, because they require Google Play Services at run-time. I'm using a BlackBerry OS 10 device, which can run Android apps, and I even have Google Play running on it, but Google Play S

From the essay: > but what trolling is, and how many its species are, and whether there is an excellence of the troll, is unclear. I happen to agree with Labster's point that trolling, in rare but excellent cases, can be a thing of

Regardless of what definition of "art" you follow, I feel like trolling as described by labster can certainly be used for good. Labster himself describes the use of trolling in tricking the reluctant apprentice into learning, or u

I think LISP is an excellent fit for the poor text input facilities that touchscreens offer. Structuring, wrapping an navigating code bodies is very easy, thanks to the simple syntax structure of the language, and you need very few uncommon

License is ISC, in case anyone is wondering. They don't mention it anywhere, but you can find it in the package.json file in their git repo.

I am only familiar with Firefox, where the default is 43.75MiB, anything larger than that is not cached. There's a `browser.cache.disk.max_entry_size` setting that defaults to 51200 (50MiB), however the code also has an explicit overri

Learn once, use for a lifetime. Sublime or any other small team project that is closed source have a tendency to get neglected past a certain point. Other than that, emacs has first class plugins for pretty much anything, is easy to extend,

Can you explain what you mean by "not strictly unify or abstract every language & runtime"? In day-to-day use, how would you notice this problem? Can you give an example of what problems or hurdles this can cause? I've on

Depends on what you are trying to do. If you want to run an entire CPU on an FPGA, ASICs will clearly be better. FPGAs are mainly useful for things that need to be (re)programmable. For things like programmable network routing/packet f
