Also, incidentally, I'd happily pay a bit of premium for a TV / Monitor that has good image quality but no other features. Perhaps not 2x as much, but 20% might be doable.

What is less clear, however, is the capability of the traditional payment networks to improve. Before bitcoin et al, they might have had no reason to. I don't find it very likely that the 60 days transaction speed, for instance, is unf

Excuse my French but what a fucking surprise. Who ever thought they would? That's right, I did. Hence I'm a bit pissed off right now. But even though I was dumb enough to believe, at least I was smart enough to wait for it, and di

Fair point. It's still disconcerting because slippery slope and all that. I'm actually totally for killing ISIS members in any way possible. I just think we oughta own up to what we're doing. We're killing people becau

So now again we're devising methods of killing people that make it easier for the killers. That's the same problem that the overseers of death camps faced and solved.

Ruho = cadaver Ruoho = grass You were in Ruoholahti, although I suppose there's some irony in that typo.

Who cares about that? Which is better, vi or emacs?

Docker images is one of the supported formats when exporting packages. Others at the moment are aci, mesos and tarball.

I'd like to bring up another sort-of alternative: http://habitat.sh It's not exactly in the same space as Nix, but not very far from it, either. In Habitat, you use a language that felt to me quite similar to Arch Linu

I don't know Idris so this syntax is probably wrong, but by reading the docs for a short while, this would be any : (a -> Bool) -> Lazy List a -> Bool ... which would make it as performant and clearer than Haskell's any

Does reasoning ever work in marketing, though?

As somebody who happily advocates Matrix[1], I'd be ecstatic if Slack would be bought by some giant and thus slowly made obsolete :) [1] http://matrix.org

I wonder if Idris could some day take Haskell's place. It sports default eager evaluation. Seems like the tooling (package managers etc.) isn't quite there yet, though.

Yes.

I recently wrote a book using Libreoffice and Microsoft Word, because the publisher demanded it. The process took about a year. My own estimate is that we lost about 2-3 months to tool-related problems, without any benefit whatsoever. I hav

In 2017, a piece of software is decidedly not for power users unless it's open source.

Sure, but how long do credit card transactions take?

Priuses are pretty, I think. But perhaps you'd enjoy something like Hyundai Ioniq -- it's more traditional-looking.

Sure, I can do that :) That article about GM says nothing about how the US public thinks about whistleblowing, does it? Could be wrong but I think they generally respect it.

Alpine could very well be the largest user of LibreSSL due to its popularity in Linux container circles.

You're right. But then again, let's consider how little time has passed, even if the progress has been very fast. Anyone could have called themselves a doctor-analogue 100 years after the invention of "medicine", too.

by vesak 10y ago
Well, sure, there's another point. Programmers should have a similar guild/organization that medical doctors do, and people who abuse the ethics should be barred from practicing.
