Parent commenter was saying that if the MPAA hate Google, MPAA-members shouldn't be using Google, not that Google should cut off MPAA/MPAA-members.

Good talk. I enjoyed the fact that she put up both a voice recording and a text version with images. I listened and followed along.

Thanks for saving me the time of reading the essays.

I hadn't heard the word infirm before so I looked it up. It seems to me that it does not mean what you think it means. Thought you might want to know that. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/infirm

The first video was sort of easy -- I saw the person who fell off their floatation device and I kept looking just at that person until the lifeguard blew their whistle and jumped in and saved them. The real question, though, is not did I spot them. As the text mentioned, half of children drown while someone is watching. I do not have children but if I were responsible for that child (either as a parent or otherwise), would I have jumped in and saved them? Maybe not, maybe I would have just been standing there wondering "do they need my help or not". I haven't thought much about this before but after being confronted with the facts by this site, I have decided that it is better to act immediately when there's a possibility that a person is drowning and save them even when they don't need saving than it is to hesitate and wonder whether they need help.

They should do a kickstarter and then they can use the money to have more time to develop the game or to hire people as good as they are looking for.

There's nothing broken about that. If you want to do full text search, do `man -K` instead of `man -k`. E.g.

    man -K MANOPT

Works for me on Ubuntu 14.04, though slowly so and I still have to ask the pager to search for it within the manpage which is opened. Because of this, I read the manpages when I know where to find what I'm looking for but otherwise just Google.

A far more severe problem IMO is the fact that many Linux distros ship without manpages in their default installs.

Tell me about your devolution. (He said to ask him to in his profile.)

Between this (yes, I know it's 3rd party) and the support for JSON, PostgreSQL seems to be eating into the market of the NoSQL databases every day. I like that. I like that because the fewer new things I must learn, the more time I can spend on the things I find interesting.

The entire library in the name of the library? Crazy! How would you input that on the computer when you wanted to reference it, though?

Even when reading code you wrote yourself, long variable names can be immensely helpful.

I was working on some code today which I wrote a couple of months ago and came across some fields in a struct I had made, two of the fields were named like something_d_foo and something_d_bar (with something, foo and bar being strings which I've replaced in this comment). These names describe a relationship of something to foo and bar. When I read the name I had given it, I thought these were the somethings DISCONNECTED from their foos and bars but a comment I had written beside each of them informed me that they were the DEFAULT somethings of the foos and bars. I promptly renamed the fields as something_default_foo and something_default_bar.

The link to http://www.varlena.com/GeneralBits/96.php from that Wikipedia page was an interesting read.

Is this a mooc also? If so, how and where does one sign up?

IoT will change all of that ;)

The e-mail seems to suggest that it would improve performance.

>Because XUL and XBL aren’t web technologies, they don’t get the same platform attention that HTML does (for good reason!). Performance problems go unfixed and it creates a lot of unnecessary complexity within Gecko. It’s harder for even experienced web developers to get up to speed. It’s further from the web, and that doesn’t help anybody.

Rename it to parl

Almost what I've been doing but I didn't know about the "dirty" option so I had a script I wrote to check if there are uncommitted changes and append a suffix like you do. Now I can get rid of that. Thanks.

I had no idea. Thanks!

Searching for descriptor-based computer architecture after reading your comment since it reminded me that I was going to, gave me a link to chapter 10 of the book. https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~levy/capabook/Chapter10.pdf

To get some additional viewpoints on containerization, you could also take a look at what has been said about similar, preceeding technologies:

* Solaris Zones, see also SmartOS Zones based on that

* FreeBSD jails

A bit surprising for a BSD project, seeing as 4.2.1 was the last GPLv2-licensed release and most of the rest of the BSD communities seem, shall we say, not too enthusiastic about GPLv3.

Yes. This is correct. Once, I had misconfigured my mail server when adding another domain I had bought and it rejected an e-mail. While I was looking into it, I saw in the logs that the sending party had retried after 15 minutes so I corrected my config and waited another 15 and I got the e-mail. Of course, number of retries, if any, and time between attempts will vary between different servers and their configs.

Another story I have about e-mail is that another misconfiguration on my part caused mail from me to others to be spam filtered or outright dropped by some receivers. It wasn't until I attempted to send an e-mail to a Debian mailing list that I learned why that was. Their e-mail server was nice enough to reply with the exact reason why they would not accept my mail. I was then able to fix it. (Though I don't remember if they did so in the form of what was said over SMTP and seen by me in logs, or if they bounced the e-mail.)

16fps on my tablet. Still impressive seeing as many WebGL demos I've tried on it have either not worked or even crashed the browser. Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. What make and model is your phone?
