You've failed to understand on two levels. One, this is not a question of competing brands. That's a question of technology and not liberty, which is the point of the comment you replied to; if OP choose free software, it doesn't matter which "brand" he chose, there are a number of free application that do the same job.

Two, calling this victim blaming is a bit of a stretch at best and ridiculous nonsense at worst. Yes, what happened to OP is unfortunate but it's just a moderate inconvenience. It's not like someone drove their car over him or smashed his face in with a bat (he'll get over this much easier). The person you replied to therefore is not wishing serious ill will on him. They are simply saying they hope this mild inconvenience is enough to wake him (and others) up to the necessity of free software.

I see a contradiction here.
"[TRUNCATE] does, in fact, release the disk space immediately — immediately upon COMMIT"

Technically not, because postgres may still hold an open file handle until the next checkpoint. From a practical standpoint that's not an issue, except that it can cause confusion if you are monitoring disk space very closely.

But you are right that he is pretty far off: there is no need to vacuum and it's an O(1) operation.
What's new? My old yahoo address that I made when I was 12 has been hacked 3 times. All within the last 4 years. I use complex passwords. I don't have any issues with anything other than yahoo.

A NOTICEABLE amount of the time I log into my yahoo account I get an error or my email wont load. Sometimes I try to check my mail on my iPad and half the time my mail wont load.

Yahoo mail sucks.

I've noticed lately that texts to people switching from iPhone to Android will fail and require user interaction.

When did this change? I recall texting a friend a couple years back, and it automatically failed over to SMS. I remember this explicitly because I was in Mexico at the time, and it led to a few extra bucks in special charges for texting in a foreign country.
It is only a confusion of terminology. They have a lot of revenues which they spend before they can be taxed, so they declare a lot of expenditures but no profits. Many charities and religious institutions work like this.

> Please stop being facetious, libertarianism != anarchism.

Please. Anarchists (esp. anarcho-capitalists) have made up a significant portion of libertarians in the US since the Vietnam war. The 1974 Libertarian National Convention intentionally made the Libertarian Party platform ambiguous on the desirability of the state's existence (the Dallas Accord) in order to stave off a full scale war between anarchists and minarchists for goodness sakes.

Plenty of libertarians would be happy to abolish government altogether and truly believe that we'd all be better off for it.

Interesting. I've never encountered that behavior, and it doesn't appear to be mentioned in a quick perusal of the manual page. The scenario you describe does make sense, and definitely could happen, though the impact would indeed be momentary and transient. Thanks for the clarification!
> It can be better to temporarily infringe someone's rights if it stops them from doing something that they will regret for the rest of their life.

No, this is false. You're incapable of guessing what other people may or may not regret with enough accuracy to use it as a justification for infringing upon the rights of others.

Furthermore, most are heavily influenced by societal norms and customs, making this even more dangerous a justification when used against the rights of those with eccentricities or nonstandard tastes or lifestyles.

It's never ok to infringe upon someone's rights.

A question: how do people find themselves "in the clutches of an addiction"? How do they escape? Could it possibly be their own free will to decide to smoke the first cigarette, or their individual decision to walk past the bar without going in, on their way home from AA?
Yes! That's where I got the idea from originally, it was mentioned in Kingdom of Fear, one of my favourite books by/about Hunter S. Thompson -- who is one of my all time favourite authors.
The collapse of the soviet union was caused by the prolonged stagnation of its economy in the 70s and 80s. This lead to all the events that followed (glasnost, perestroika, etc.) in failed attempt to fix it.

And the cause for the Era of Stagnation in the mid-1970s? The Cold War. Starting with the war in Afghanistan in 1979, funded of course by the US, this aggravated the stagnation and then led to a period of economic standstill between 1979 and 1985. (The USSRs economy was somewhere between 30% and 50% that of the US at the time). Couple with added global military pressure from the west caused the Soviets to put military buildup at the expense of domestic development. This kept the USSR's GDP at the same level during the first half of the 1980s. As spending out stripped both growth and capacity, again due to military spending, the rest as they say is history.

I don't see how that would have happened without the military pressure from the west. Look at China, it didn't have those costs, and it's still around, as is Cuba, Venezuela, etc. they didn't call it the Cold War for nothing, and it was expensive!
Gulp looks very interesting. Browserify vs. RequireJS seems more complex to me, though - it isn't difficult to use RequireJS in the CommonJS pattern. When I tried Browserify it was incredibly slow to build - but that might have been me setting it up wrong in Grunt...
That's also insufficient over the long term since coins are lost as a proportion of the total per unit of time.
Well (taking cues from the article) it has been a couple of weeks.

This is the first I've heard of Gulp though. Looks promising.
Usually the antidote to that kind of fatalistic discouragement is the effort to actually try and dive into policy, and understand and analyze the various bits of tradeoffs one has to make to get policy invented and passed. It's possible it would be no less discouraging, but at least it would illustrate that the people actually involved in fighting those fights are people that care very deeply and work very hard. To me, that kind of discouragement - that it's hard - is different than the kind of discouragement that comes from feeling like the whole system is pointless and useless. Another point that may help with that is to read one of the recent descriptions of the career of the recently retired Henry Waxman - someone who was responsible for a ton of change in the long term even if it probably never felt like it in the short term. If that's not the left/right side of change you like, I'd imagine there are other congresspeople on the right side that are equally skilled at quietly affecting slow but effective change over long periods of time.
The difference here isn't between "models"...

It is, actually. It's a different economic model (ie, formula) to express demand solely as a function of profitability than it is to describe it as driven by what someone is willing to pay, one possible factor in which is their profit motive. The reality is that we pay for things all the time without regard to their profitability. The fact that for-profit schools exist does not mean that there is no other valid rationale for paying teachers besides profit.
Seems like it will be an awful lot of work to support older work?

"Monsanto recently said that it had made significant progress in the development of herbicide-tolerant wheat."

Plain English Translation:

"We want to soak the soil with even more chemicals, to harm even more people and wildlife with various known effects that we won't admit to, & unknown effects that we'll try to suppress to stay unknown."

I can see the argument with having lower-water consuming variants. But why not grow one of the 100s other grains that can grow in such soils?

I think stating that manpages are short is a little inaccurate.

You're arguing against the data. Care to continue doing so?

There are a few outliers, but really, the average page length is pretty low.

I'm running this right now, and what I'm getting is (5831 pages processed):

mean: 3.9 pages
median: 2 pages
standard deviation: 11.06 pages

If you'd prefer precentiles:

5th %ile: 1
25th %ile: 1
75th %ile: 3
95th %ile: 12

Max is 476 pages (zshall(1)).

This is on a Debian GNU/Linux system with 3479 packages installed. I checked only English manpages under /usr/share/man (there are another dozen or so pages for openjdk under /usr/lib/jvm, max length 29 pages).

Obviously, mileage may vary.

Code:

cd /usr/share/man
time for f in $(find man[0-9] -type f -name \*.[0-9].gz); do echo -e "$f\t\c"; man $f 2>&1 | pr | grep ' Page [0-9][0-9]* *$' | tail -1 | sed 's/^.*\(Page \)//'; done

Takes about 4.5 minutes to run on my system.

Compute statistical moments with your preferred analysis tool (I've got one I wrote for the purpose).

There are 68 manpages 37 pages or longer in length (2 standard deviations over mean). I see several shells (zshall, bash, tcsh), many perl utilities, and a few complex tools (mutt, openvpn, wireshark, busybox) among them. Pretty small count, actually.

Man pages were designed before a paradigm shift from systems oriented to user oriented design and are usually written in a manner that makes them easy to write, not easy to read.

While understanding a manpage's format is useful, ANY documentation which is "easy to write, not easy to read" is a bug.

As for alternatives to manual pages, I find the Linux Documentation Project's HOWTOs to be an excellent adjunct. GNU info pages, not so much.
I've shot you an email. Thanks!
There have been numerous posts stating that Gulp is faster than Grunt. However, the "faster" argument needs to be qualified with "under these conditions ____". Even better, here's my configuration. Here's the processing time of x and of y.

With JavaScript builds in particular, it's important to separate when the task running is used. At least in my workflow, I have two distinct times:

1. Development time
2. Build time

"Development time" is when the task runner is used during development, such as running livereload to update the app with saved changes to source files. Speed during development time is very important.

"Build time" is the time used when building a production package. With build time, if one task runner is 5 sec. vs. 10 sec. it makes little difference.

Is one task runner always faster?

What are the differences in performance?

And are these development time or build time differences?

I'm all for new tooling, but let's have measurements in place so that people can make intelligent decisions about when one vs the other is right/wrong for a given project.

As for configuration complexity, it would be great to see a large production configuration of Grunt and Gulp.

I was browsing the page to see if they had added the features from Trello "Gold" to the business class when I noticed the price jumped from $200 per year to $500. I could not find any reference to the price increase anywhere. Perhaps it is just a typo... I hope so because Trello "Business Class" is not worth $500 to my company now or in the near future.

I think the author oversimplified the choice of Browserify and RequireJS. They have some overlap, but are not 100% replacements.

Both have the concept of modules, and they overlap in this area.

Browserify allows you to use Node style modules in the browser.

RequireJS allows you to asynchronously load parts of your app, while Browserify bundles all JS into a single file.

There is an entire range of build tools. some devs still use `make`, bash &/or hand-written node scripts. Once you have them set up, & keep same folder & msc patterns, they can all be satisfactory.

The advantage of Grunt is that it has a huge ecosystem. But Gulp has many of Grunt's heavy-hitters building plug-ins for it. So you can look at Gulp as front-end-build-tools v3.0 (Addy & Paul Irish were pushing Ant before Grunt).

So lets ask the question. Why are some people bullies and some aren't? Is is because more rules are imposed on some then others? Is it because kids aren't allowed to play bull rush or play in the mud?

Bullies usually have emotional problems or brain chemistry issues. A high percentage of bullies have fathers that are abusive to their mothers and are bullies themselves (vicious cycle). It is difficult to tell if this is merely learned or genetic, but I am pretty sure that it has nothing to do with playing bull rush.

What is likely having an effect on the kids in this school's situation is positive peer pressure. The administration puts the kids in a position of judging other peers. This has been used for at least 20 years and was effective in a high school I once attended. It was no utopia, but I sure didn't observe much bullying going on.
How about it's a zero-sum game: Entertainment money could be spent elsewhere. Actual economic impact is building a better tool or bringing in the harvest. Paying this or that entertainer to do their thing is meaningless.

(The Gross Domestic Product and other economic figures do not account for this and treats each economic transaction as equal. Additionally the knee injury hospital bill of the young player who never made it to the NFL also increases the GDP, adding to the confusion what "economic impact" is.)
To further clarify, RequireJS also allows you to bundle all JS into a single file via the r.js build step.

If you're planning on going that route with RequireJS, you should also look into AlmondJS: https://github.com/jrburke/almond
Do you only watch Fox News? Do you not understand that many of these people were just picked up in Afghanistan or Pakistan without any clear knowledge that they were engaged in any paramilitary or "terrorist" activity, and then held for a decade or until their deaths in jail, with no trial?
What they're getting at is that the vertical aspect of margin:auto (that is, margin: 0 auto vs margin: auto) has absolutely no effect in your example. For your own credibility (since this purports to be a "complete" guide), this needs to be fixed and you need to add the table/table-cell method.

I think it would be best to simply replace that example with what is essentially the last example, which is much more useful. This codepen[1] shows the markup within another div. This is by far my favorite centering method, although it requires a fixed or percentage height while table/table-cell does not. It also avoids some of the bizarre quirks of table/table-cell, so there are times when one or the other is the best method.

how does it not apply for inheritances? That money that was inherited came from delivering a good or service in a voluntary exchange. Just because the money was passed down a generation doesnt mean that money was acquired any different way.

I think you may be trying to point out that the inheritance isnt deserved because the receiver didnt create the wealth. I see inheritances as how the rich choose to spend their money. Some give it to charity, some give it to their kids (which could be a form of charity), some spend it frivolously. Doenst change the fact that the money was generated by creating wealth in the first place.
