I bet they have plans to make a different VM for Kotlin and move away from JVM, should be coming in the next couple of years.

You're not alone, that's why the Manyverse client tries really hard not mention Scuttlebutt (but does so in the app description).

That's a cheap form of plausible deniability, then.

I used to alias `rm` to `rm -i`, until I realized that I just pressed <return><y><return> without thinking.

I recently had to reinstall my arch and was pleased to find this repo. It is much easier than installing everything from AUR and trying to keep it consistent. And my fonts look even better now.

Yes, the systemd introduction was a special time in Arch land. A lot of systems got broken in those days. The only comparable time I can recall right now is when they dropped GRUB Legacy. People who upgraded carelessly were unable to boot. These are the two single big events in 8 years or so I've been using Arch.

While the conclusion is in accordance with what I would expect, I think the study suffers a lot from not having a control group. From these results, there is no telling if participants screwed up in replay, or if they were all just guessing anyway or whatever. This should be redone with at least one sample pair where one of the samples is deliberately reduced in quality is delivered to a subset of the participants.

Yes, it seems to fall more on the side of false positives than false negatives. While this is a safe bet, it is also less useful, since the main use case I can think for this is to help me pick up some movies from the plethora of available movies that exist in the world to maybe look for in Netflix etc. I mean, "Take This Waltz" (2012) is not what I'm after if I'm looking for films from Japan. Mildly annoying.

Yeah, I saw that on your support site after I asked. Sorry for not checking before, but thanks for answering!

Those are nice projects, thanks for telling me about them!

I second hhandoko's question: is it open source? Or better yet, is it FLOSS? Also, is an Android version coming anytime soon?

> Why would anyone care? Is it a legal binding contract between me and the comany? No. It might be taken into account if we go into court, but if they have it in their TOS that I bought an elephant from them - it will not hold.

That's interesting. Do you have any sources on that? Why do these services even bother having ToS?

Skype? Sounds strange to me.

It's election time in Brazil right now, and everyone is trying to look good. This might just be our current president and candidate to reelection Dilma Rousseff trying to win over the evironmental cause votes, which is a huge electorate and a huge chunk of Marina Silva's electorate, who holds second place in the current vote intention polls.

Yup, I heard the gut-exploding-ddH2O in a lab and a girl in the class eventually did drink a little bit of it and was absolutely fine. A science champion, if you ask me.

And the most concerningly satisfying is that everybodydoneit, apparently. Including me, who didn't bother to read any one single paper cited.

You might have just described backpackers.

It's remarkable that I still don't know if I should pronounce "names" or "name-zee".

Yeah, it's a silly portmanteau of his actual kids' names: Daniel and Spagwood.

I'm a developer with lots of ideas living in São Paulo. How can I take advantage of this hub? I have zero experience in business and not that many contacts...

> Ultimately the reason why adding more roads to a system produces more traffic is more people take cars vs. public transit.

More precisely, more people take cars vs. not take cars. "Not take cars" can be public transit, human powered transport or even not moving at all.

Why did they go half way, though? If you're going to dumb down things, why don't just say "scientists found that" instead of giving a distorted view of the experiment, popularizing a wrong idea of what real science actually looks like?

I read somewhere that moxie is planning that feature for TextSecure.

Linux always loses? People who do this don't even know Linux exists!

How do people live without package managers? It's complete chaos!

Hi,

Yes, I agree, and it is part of the reason why I am amused. It's so cute the way they have no idea what most of that means.

I mean, yesterday I learned that my father had bought a laptop with Windows 8 from a Japanese person, but had someone install Windows 7 afterwards because Win8 was in Japanese. He also bought a new keyboard because neither he or the person who installed the 'new' OS knew how to type "áéíóú" etc on the Japanese keyboard (yes, I configured the keyboard layout for him yesterday).

Now, be honest and tell me: is it not amusing to think this is the kind of people who are comparing operating systems? Is it not even more amusing to think that people who write blog posts about it should know better?

It always amuses me when people compare operating systems and all they talk about is GUI.

The password field is for creating a password for this account, you don't have to type the password of any other account. There's no security risk here, since you never ever reuse passwords, right?

Actually I was thinking this is a great way to teach new developers how to fork, clone, push and do pull requests.
