We did exactly this for a side project last week:

At it's core it's just a spec, so feel free to write your own tools! Suggestions for improving the spec welcome. Please use Github issues

>So instead of having only two options, or a third invisible option, there is only one real option and the demon cannot be wrong or it cannot be right.

This third neither right nor wrong option reminds me of 'Mu' found in eastern philosophy and highlighted in Hofstadter's GEB and it forms another crucial part of self-reference and recursion as mentioned earlier in your comment.

Re:Abstract Libraries in Go on Wednesday May 14, 2014 @04:31AM (#7742753)
Is there a chance ty or a similar implementation will make it into Go core? What do you think about Go designers being generally averse to the idea of parametric polymorphism?
“One must lie low, no matter how much it went against the grain, and try to understand that this great organization remained, so to speak, in a state of delicate balance, and that if someone took it upon himself to alter the dispositions of things around him, he ran the risk of losing his footing and falling to destruction, while the organization would simply right itself by some compensating reaction in another part of its machinery – since everything interlocked – and remain unchanged, unless, indeed, which was very probable, it became still more rigid, more vigilant, severer, and more ruthless.”

From my experience, frontend tests break easily in unexpected ways e.g. div moved by an inch? Error - element-not-visible!

I think google doesn't have info about page dates prior to 2001. I think the actual date must be 1999 as linked by the parent post.

PS: I'm the one who should apologize.

The linked post doesn't provide any source.

According to the internet archive, it's from 2006 http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://www.dot.gov.in/isp/g...

> “Those DVCS kids, they got just what they deserved, won’t it be great when we can get back to a real VCS like Perforce”.

This entire article is based on the false dichotomy that either we use get along with github as it is or go back to svn.

Given the number of projects which directly pull code from github and execute it on production machines, it is not unreasonable to expect basic security from a hosting provider. I don't see why github should be given a second chance.

This plugin[0] apparently plays an ascii version 'bad apple' music video. Inside vim.

Re:Python: copying a list the right way on Sunday November 06, 2011 @05:31AM (#3202331)
But don't the alternatives also depend on list slicing? Heck, the title is `coping a list`. If you have a different datatype, it is the business of that type to specify how to copy using __copy__, isn't it?

Re:Awesome Python and django related projects on Sunday July 10, 2011 @07:22PM (#2748878)
How do you add decorators to a class based view? I find this annoying:

    dashboard = login_required(DashboardView.as_view())
Takes the fun out of decorators for me.
