Can't git just check whether the filesystem does this?

It would be a pity if an ignorant user copied a repository to another filesystem only to find out that certain operations suddenly break.

Perhaps the option should include the filesystem UUID for which the option should apply (to prevent these kinds of surprises).

I'm building a baby name app and this is a fantastic idea that I am probably going to steal.
I have sat in my office or home and watched a package go from "out for delivery" to "delivery attempted" while I'm there, have been there the whole time, and nobody ever attempted anything. Then once that happens they don't try again, you have to go to the post office to get it. And given that I live in NYC, going to the post office is invariably more time consuming than going to an actual store nearby that sells the thing I ordered, thus completely destroying the rationale for using Amazon in the first place.

Amazon shopping used to be amazing, like magic awesome customer service. Things are very different in 2016.

I've only been working professionally with linux for 5-ish years, but i'd say that i'm still at the "2 googles per command" number for bash.

Some of it stems from the fact that i just don't use it enough, but most of it from the fact that this shit just isn't intuitive. why is -b the flag for key length in ssh-keygen? Why is -v the flag for "don't include" in grep? I have those memorized now, but there is no way they are "intuitive".
Whenever somebody told me that 'Desktops are gonna be obsolete because smartphones' I always told them that screens on desktops have always gotten bigger so there is a demand for big things that are easy to work with but he won't listen because some article on some website said other wise.

smartphones are good for stay connected but not for actual 'doing stuff'.
Amazing article. The rigour is commendable! This sets a respectably high standard for criticism.

I think technically it should be no problem to write some package for most programming languages for interopting with .net objects. In this sense about everything could also handle .net objects.
Yes, he said to start with simple things like interacting with friends. Arrange to (e.g.) have dinner, pick the restaurant, invite the people you want to spend your time with.

It sounds so trivial, but it hit me like a punch in the guts when I realised I hardly ever do anything like this. I've always gone along with whatever other people have planned, reassuring myself that I'm 'easy-going'.

This is what he meant by 'exercising the muscle'. Get used to getting your own way, getting what you want from the world, and taking responsibility for any conflict that arises as a result.

I guess the idea is that you become accustomed to getting what you want and taking responsibility when the decisions really matter.

Even reading back what I've just written feels silly, and embarrassing to admit to. But I hope it's gone some way toward answering your question.

On my RPi B, the daemon eats 4% average on all four cores, with almost all the time spent in the kernel. I assume polling the various entries under /proc/ is costly.
> Stop blaming Amazon, and see that the issue is Apple, HP, etc.

If Amazon says they're selling me an X but sends me a fake X I'm going to blame Amazon, this isn't a hard thing to reason about.

Other retailers don't have these problems. I can buy printer ink at CVS or Staples or Best Buy and it isn't a refill or grey market and it always works. In fact, Amazon itself didn't used to have this problem.

I'll stand by my assertion that Amazon has a real issue here that they should address.

Not sure if I'm projecting or not but I think I've noticed this too. When I do projects that have some kind of grand goal, few people seem to care and I find I work mostly in isolation. Lots of pride and not a lot of fun.

On the other hand, when I do a project where the thinking is "Let's screw around, quickly throw stuff out there, and see how people react to it", I tend to get a lot more interesting feedback.

Even for smart people, there's something about a friendly game of "idiot ball" that seems to attract other people to come out and play too. Torvalds probably plays that game better than most.

Sure, but isn't this whole deal premised on the notion that if investors want to head for the exits 3 months after the IPO, Spotify (and its employee shareholders) are fucked anyway?

It's very rare (ie likely unable to succeed) to see a "sponsor" dump all of their holdings in a stock when a company goes public so that is very unlikely to happen for the obvious reason that if you were a large institutional investor in the IPO, you would not appreciate an owner that understands the business to exit while you come in. There are also limits on how many shares owners can sell (lock-up periods).

> I wonder if it is because USPS Weekend delivery isn't the normal "route" person, and they just don't try to get into multi-unit mailrooms?

I'm pretty sure they don't try to deliver anything at all. Every time I've had a Sunday order and everyone else that I know, it gets marked as either "Delivery Attempted" or sometimes "Delivered" without the package arriving. I've NEVER heard of anyone actually receiving a Sunday USPS delivery for an Amazon order on Sunday. Literally never!

I think the Amazon/USPS deal has the latter paying a penalty for late/undelivered packages. It's possible that they don't have the resources to actually deliver the packages and lying (either from corporate or from the actual mail carriers) is the only way to cover their asses.
yeah I also always have to google the -v and them I'm like ahaaa it's inVert! And next time I have to google it again
I agree with your sentiment (a modern PC is a very complex beast and it's not reasonable to expect to be able to operate it without learning about it first), but my stove's interface could not be simpler. One turny knob. Turn it to pick the heat setting, from "OFF" to "LOTS". I don't think I've ever used a stove more complex than that.
Have you used Visual Studio Code? It's also web based, and 100x smoother than Atom. Some applications are just slow.
Then back at awk.
That's exactly it. The weekend delivery is optimized for traditional homes and is weak on multi-unit and many commercial environments. Your postman knows every nook and cranny -- the guy in the van doesn't.

There's also variance between post office regions and quality. In some areas in NYC, historically they had lots of issues. Some outlying areas on rural delivery are a struggle as well, as they use contract drivers that are paid and scheduled based on how long the USPS thinks the routes should take. Parcels gum up the works and create a lot of problems.
Ups, yeah. Sorry I just missed copying the whole sentence by accident. I wanted to know why it makes him cringe to call them Linux computers ;)
A good portion of the public still believes James Comey. That includes lower level law enforcement officers. I want them to do their jobs well. Depending on access to encrypted communications residing in the phones of terrorists isn't going to cut it in the future.

It'd be nice if they realized this future is coming very soon. We pay the FBI to be good at maintaining public safety.

On top of that, the polls about this issue showed there is somewhere between 40 and 50 percent of the public who sides with the FBI in the SB case. If backdoor legislation is introduced following a terrorist attack, there is a chance it could pass. We're better off educating the public now about how encryption works and where it is used.

The people we want to convince already trust the government. They will not listen if you include "the FBI lied about everything" in your argument. I think they could understand that backdoor-less encryption tech is better for our safety than backdoored encryption, given some explanation that one weakness exposes all devices. And, I think they could understand the impracticalities of enforcing what the government wants, given some discussion about how encryption is used in both commercial and free and open source messaging apps.
I just wish there were a decent mobile client.
This looks fine. I have a few observations:

- Uses camelCase for classes; Foundation and Bootstrap are hyphen separated, as is FontAwesome. This leads to weird examples like the notification one [1] where you have mixed naming conventions.

- All classes in the docs are prefixed with vcl. I guess this is some kind of namespacing, but again BS and Foundation don't have this, and you end up with slightly uglier and slightly more verbose class names.

It doesn't seem like the tabs or drawer examples work for me so it's not clear how it's handling those but it seems that it's not tied to jQuery, which I definitely do like.

You went to the simple image wikipedia just to find a citation that agrees with you, while the english Wikipedia has a whole artcicle describing it in quite an opposite way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_signal

If it is confusing, is because you do not understand what a "signal" means. A signal is not the phenomenon itself, it is a representation of it.

An audio signal is a signal that represents sound, but it is not sound itself. If it were, you would not need to call it a signal, it would be simply "sound". In a slightly different use of adjective, an acoustic signal is a signal (that may or not be audio, eg, ultrassound) that is carried by sound waves.

Actually, it only gets confusing if you try to be pedantic, as GP did. Everyone knows what an audio signal in a EM chart.

You can also backport the package, it's usually rather easy; you should just need to add a deb-src line for the testing repository to sources.list and then run:

apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential fakeroot devscripts
apt-get build-dep git
apt-get -b source git

The last line will download the source package and immediately compile it, generating a .deb file which you can then install:

dpkg -i [package].deb
If you set a global cookie, then someone intercepting the public traffic (think NSA, GCHQ,...) can identify what the user is reading. You just killed anonymity.
Audio is a name for signals that represent sound waves humans can hear. As we are only sensitive to sound in some frequencies, there is a range of frequencies in which audio signals may exist.

This diagram shows it, probably as a more mundane reference for scale.

It doesn't seems to me that racist "clearly and unambiguously identifies those people", especially as stated "no group or party has ever applied to itself".

In contrast, there are groups that have applied to itself the word "communist", and so far as it applies to them, it is clear and (somewhat) unambiguous. The scope, however, of who it doesn't apply to, and who it may be used against is ambiguous e.g. McCarthyism.

This doesn't mean that I agree that the word is purely abusive (and as such agree with MM), but I don't think his opinion is either completely wrong, without merit, or obviously so.
I believe it can be both. In cataract surgery, the eye's lens is removed (because it has gone cloudy) and replaced with an implantable lens.

IOLs can also be used in myopia. The implantable lens is placed in front of the natural lens to correct the near-sightedness, like a contact lens but INSIDE the eye. The natural lens is left intact so you don't lost the ability to focus close up (accommodation).

There are also accommodating lens implants, which are pretty new. So a cataract patient can regain their ability to focus close up.

In our current legal and regulatory framework, companies have to seek licenses from the government to carry out these activities. So it seems to me you are advocating handing out 'serious jail time' to people who carried out legitimate business activities, regulated by the government and for which they obtained legal licenses.

Or am I missing something?

The fact is environmental impact should be taken into account properly at the licensing stage. That's where the accountability falls.
> It's mostly usable but a far cry from "better than Windows"

And what your experiences have been on Windows, I just wonder? Ever had to recover a Win8.1 laptop stuck in failed update that it keeps reinstalling over and over and over? Purge your son's computer from crapware and ad drivel that he manages to somehow sneak through all the antivirii and sanitation apps? Install a Samsung printer driver without Samsung bundled 200mb++ crapball of a control panel? Get Adobe updater to behave?

None of the problems that proverbial mom would easily solve.

One of your statements is what I feel is more of an obstacle to mainstream Linux adoption than anything technical. There's a lot of distros out there with a lot of churn. Not a bad thing if you are a geek and have the time to try out a variety of distros, but Grandma is just going to want something that Works.

Similarly (possibly because of this churn?), I feel Macintosh and Windows are ahead of the game compared to Linux for providing more usable documentation. Linux forums likewise tend to be very techie oriented; the general consensus I get outside of the computer world is that this heavy technical nature is very off-putting ("arrogance" and "snobbery" are a common complaint).

Linux still has some problems technically (has audio gotten any better, for instance? ALSA / Pulseaudio was messy compared to Windows / Mac last I looked) but I think a lot of the obstacles to adoption are more non-technical at this stage. Google after all made a Linux kernel OS mainstream.

"A typical use of notes is to supplement a commit message without changing the commit itself. Notes can be shown by git log along with the original commit message. To distinguish these notes from the message stored in the commit object, the notes are indented like the message, after an unindented line saying "Notes (<refname>):" (or "Notes:" for refs/notes/commits)."
