Stop it with the smileys.
Interesting stuff, and I like the writing style.
Re:A better git log on Friday June 07, 2013 @05:49AM (#5838049)
I do the same for various other git commands, such as git checkout ('gc').

The only problem is that this breaks git tabcomp. Haave you (or anyone else) dealt with this?

Re:Relative Line Numbers in Vim on Monday June 03, 2013 @04:10AM (#5811983)
Yes! Usually it's not a problem, but every now and then relativenumber really kills performance.

The last time I noticed this was with valgrind logs; and I have no idea what exactly is causing it (amount of lines doesn't seem to be it).

Thankfully it's perfectly usuable for day-to-day editing. Binding :set rn! to a key circumvents this problem well enough.

Re:An Honor for the Creator of the GIF on Wednesday May 22, 2013 @04:14AM (#5749484)
What resources did you use to implement gif89a?

You already mentioned the specification ( http://www.w3.org/Graphics/GIF/spec-gif89a.txt ). Did you use anything else?

Doesn't this already exist? Multiple times?

Oh well, obvious 'exploit'. Wondering how Y! will react. They must've forseen this, right?

In what way? (Not meant to be accusing, just curious)

AV/firewall software already exists for linux. I don't really see how it would change muc, aside from popularity.

Re:Does vintage kernel sound better than more recent one? on Thursday March 21, 2013 @11:02AM (#5415478)
4) Kernels sound better after they've been worn in a bit. Don't expect your newly built 2.4 kernel to have that warm sound until you've run with it for a few weeks, but for a really classy sound here's a trick: compile the kernel and then put it somewhere safe (ext2 partition, obviously) to mellow for a month and then boot into it at the last minute before you start recording an important session. Your clients will thank you.

This is a joke, right?

Re:Why do game developers prefer Windows? on Thursday March 14, 2013 @05:30AM (#5373957)
You generally don't develop for a single distro: you develop for linux. Which then works on every distro. If you're optimistic enough you could even try to make it work for every *nix, but whatever.

The only reason steam is made specifically for ubuntu is because it uses apt-get to actually get steam. If valve put more effort into making it like every other linux application nobody on any distro would have trouble running it.

Re:Results of the 2013 /r/Linux Distro Survey on Tuesday March 12, 2013 @05:24AM (#5360937)
Ubuntu is less strict on the non-free thing. Either way it doesn't really matter since you can use PPAs from ubuntu on debian and vice versa. Obviously the same goes for .deb

I think ubuntu LTS gets packages from wheezy and normal ubuntu from sid.

Not related to devtools but please make the facebook addon or plugin or whatever removable

Why do you use 'λ' instead of '\'? Is this normal in haskell projects?
