I have used gkrellm since 1998 when my preferred wm was blackbox and playing MP3s in xmms was cool. Still run it today on Cinnamon. RIP Bill and thanks for the OSS contribution of a lifetime!
Re:Docs like code in basic terms

This works amazingly well for regulated software markets such as medical devices that need a lot of review/approval and traceability. Markdown is much more AI and script-friendly yet still layman readable. The workflow is significantly faster than industry standard tools like Windchill which are like git with a 1985 GUI in front of it.

End of an era. I remember using them consistently in the mid- to late-90’s. Sad to see them go but change is the only constant in life. Goodbye old friend!

The article seems to suggest that turning to carbon capture is our best option currently. If that is the case then what is the best carbon capture technology we have right now and could it even make a dent?

Re:Delivering Billions of Messages Exactly Once

Why do I get the feeling this is repeating TCP features at the Message level? There must a protocol that can hide this exactly once need away. TCP doesn't create downloads, generally, that are bad and fail their checksum test, hence packets that make up the file are not duplicated.

I agree, but I am just too lazy for that. Mine are all one char:
alias b='/usr/local/bin/git checkout -b'
alias a='/usr/local/bin/git add
alias d='/usr/local/bin/git diff HEAD'
alias c='git commit -m'
alias i='/usr/local/bin/git pull origin'
alias o='/usr/local/bin/git branch -avv | grep "\*" | cut -d\ -f 2 | xargs -n 1 /usr/local/bin/git push -u origin'
plus: alias g='/usr/local/bin/git log --graph --oneline --decorate
alias v='/usr/local/bin/git branch -avv'--all'
alias h='/usr/local/bin/git log -p'
can be useful.Ask HN: Are there any large Transcrypt projects in the wild?
Does anyone have any experience/knowledge of how well Transcrypt (http://www.transcrypt.org) works at-scale? I am considering it for a large project and want to know if there are any well-known hurdles. Thanks.

You are definitely a CTO. And as one I agree completely. Without creativity in the hands of the craftsman who actually make the product there is no craft, only a tool.

Re:On DRY and the cost of wrongful abstractions
on Sunday September 18, 2016 @04:06PM (#12526957)
Figure out what varies => encapsulate that. Could be behavior, structure, or creation. This idea that you can avoid DRY in a positive way simply means one has yet to recognize that first statement.

The current problem is the pricing is completely non-transparent hence consumers cannot choose based upon price. No one knows what anything costs until a bill arrives much, much later. In addition, it is extremely opaque how the numbers on the bill are arrived at.

I think it would useful if the admin could opt-in to have limits enforced. That is a central tenet of kanban methodology. While the default could be no limit, I don't see why self-limiting should be prevented. I can open an issue if you like. :)
