Given the effort required to put cabling in e.g. mine is underneath plaster, future proofing it as best you can could save aggravation in the kind of timeframe that people live in houses for.

It would be fairer to compare by wealth, where the USA is at 30.2%

Half Life 2 was a big one https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-02-21-the-boy-who-st...

I found https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths an interesting take on this.

I've been happy with my Kobo.

Modern homes are built with it, but we have a lot of old houses here too.

They were referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_cycle I assume.

The linked page has four steps, the last of which is "make requests".

I think the greater reactions are due to the targetting of individuals rather than the entity acting.

The #MeToo movement covers a lot of people. Any mass movement will include some more extreme than others. I don't believe your characterisaton of the movemnt is a fair description of the average person who is part of it.

Gmail alone is easy - use POP in a mail client, set it to mark stuff read, leave it on the server etc https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7104828?hl=en

Is point 5 true for the newest tunnels like the Jubilee Line Extension? I think the DLR has an emergency walkway in the tunnels to Bank. I am expecting Crossrail will too.

Understanding that we all have different mental models, and that affects how we learn. Understanding my own vs my students' helped me to get them to understand what I was trying to communicate.

Superheroes and fantasy have become mainstream over the last few decades. Things do change.

I would be very surprised to see them take that reimplementation path as their backwards compatibility has been so important for decades (yes I know not everything runs still; but a large amount does). They have provided an evolutionary path and that would be revolution. The benefit to them seems likely to be outweighed by the disruption. And they know points of disruption are where they are more likely to lose customers.

The Docker images are smaller for Linux for one. Our team use the Linux version in tests during builds just for that. We are relying that Microsoft manage to keep the two versions close enough that it's meaningful.

As much as I love Ricciardo, the share of bad luck has been most unequal and it's not Max's fault he is so far behind.

Android was bought in though.

The Mail article of course ripped off as usual; check the timestamps against the Guardian article posted earlier that same day.

It is a good thing for the driver writer as they have less difference between their targets.

It is a bad thing for the targets as they implement both the driver functionality and the abstractions required to make the same code work cross platform. The response linked describes the cost of those abstractions to the target (Linux kernel in this case).

Subway lines need stations, ventilation and often big shafts to build the tunnels from.

Reasons for not wanting to fire people also include: basic humanity.

The following lines appear to still be creating a string starting "2.6.".

I would argue that it is a professional index dressed up for non-recruiters as a social network.

As noted in the bug, it is not just writing a fix but writing one that works against all supported configurations that is the cause of a delay.

You can provide resources in multiple sizes, and Android will also scale as needed

The inherent reason is that -1 is the most common error return code in C based APIs. The problem is not naively handling an error case, it's not handling an error case. Using a different value might avoid calling killall -1, but the program would still be incorrect.

This is the same sort of argument as strlcat vs strncat, and people can't agree on that one.

>> What I mind is people closing bugs and not admitting mistakes.

> So Torvalds is saying he doesn't like dictatorial project maintainers who reply in an abrupt and abrasive manner to contributors?

You have quoted what he did say and made up a position that he did not.
