May I ask where in Fiji you live? I traveled there a few decades ago and still have very fond memories. It's been in the back of my mind as a place to wind down after I'm done with the rat race ever since.

I think oh-my-zsh is the best of both worlds. If you don't like to fiddle, it has sensible defaults and if you do, you can write and load your own plugins and themes easily. There is a rich collection of plugins and themes that you can

It's worth listening to the audio to hear how surprised David is with this blunt charge. Clearly unexpected. Also: parallel construction (i.e.: the NSA doesn't want to reveal it has already done this)

I suspect the main driver in picking this case had nothing to do with the technical details and everything to do with the emotional aspects. The general public won't follow the technical bits and the emotional appeal of the case (terro

Although they called it a much less romantic name ("contract brewing") back then, Boston Beer Company (Samuel Adams) was "gypsy brewing" in 1984, over 20 years before Mikkeller appeared. Brooklyn Brewery started with con

Making beer is pretty easy. I always tell people: if you can boil water, tell time and be clean, you can make beer. The clean part is the most important. Malt is a perfect medium to grow all kinds of critters and until the yeast have establ

Or from the auto insurance companies who offer per miles rates if you install their trackers, or the States implementing mileage based gas tax tracking gizmos. What could go wrong?

Naw, us stumptowners don't mind y'all moving up here. Just don't be spreading lies about how great life in Portland is. Sucks up here, rains all the time, can't find a good cup of joe or pint of beer to save your life. D

Unless I'm reading the report wrong, it appears that the bus did have the right of way. Indicating intent and hoping will get you in trouble with more than just busses.

Yep, also when there is an agreed upon linting config, the tooling becomes the "bad guy" on pull requests and lets humans comment on non-trival things.

Posts like this give me the sads. Equating disabled users with a browser that has been EOLed? Wow, just wow. Also aside from being the right thing to do, depending on who you are and where you are, it may be the law... https://en

However, it ceases to be fraud for anyone except for the companies immediately processing the mortgage: If they sold the note to a bank, parent company, or to investors, that bank or investor should be off the hook. So I don't yet see

The "bankers" (and by that I mean the entire mortgage chain, from issuing to securitizing) were engaged in fraud. Mortgage officers directed applicants to lie on their applications (and in some cases falsified numbers themselves)

Yeah, that would do it, it's the connections that kill you. Train + bike is usually much faster in those cases.

As a resident of Portland, my own anecdata is that transit is pretty good here. 30min from downtown to the airport for instance. As I noted in another comment, it's difficult for me to imagine a 100min train commute here. Taking the lo
