   So the ironic part is this script would no longer work after these deprecations because installing Homebrew requires a Ruby interpreter[0]. Obviously these things are fixable but a whole lot of people are going to have to do a lot of work t

   Every October. They only do long-term-support (LTS) releases every two years, and those are always in April, so you're reading references to the most recent LTS release, 18.04. I'll be upgrading to 19.04 from 18.10, though.

   Are you talking about existing English words? I'm not sure there are enough longer words for this to be possible, depending on the range of numbers being encoded.

   Paradise Bay is an excellent game and it's a darn shame it's shutting down. There's no game quite like it that I'm aware of, and I suspect that many of their players are players that won't switch to another game. I&

   Thanks for asking a serious question. Getting a PhD in nutrition is the same as another other PhD -- you study at a graduate program under an existing tenured professor in that field, do original research and successfully defend your disser

   Thanks for calling out my mistake on fish vs meat. For what it's worth, I had originally typed "raw meat" but then second-guessed myself and changed it to fish. And my wife wasn't around to correct me. I'm aware tha

    For what it's worth, I'm in the same boat as you. I've been Linux-only on the desktop since 2003, have a five-digit Slashdot ID, and read reddit and Hacker News daily for a decade. Yet I had _literally_ never heard of Krita u
