I started indoor climbing 3 months ago and it's done wonders for my grip strength, as well as my overall health. I can't recommend it enough for engineers and other problem solving addicts. I was, frankly, bored by weight training

I'd strongly suggest you contact the maintainer of the python3 package and request a backport. 3.5.1 is in testing, so it should be possible, and perhaps even easy to backport.

Respectfully, I think this amounts to bias more than anything. It's a lot easier to believe that the slide-offs are caused by bad driving - and most probably are. But some are unavoidable.

> Winter driving is really no different from any other kind of driving in which the driver exceeds the limits of the vehicle's available traction. I actually agree with this statement. The problem is that, in good conditions, low tr

Having lived nearly my whole life in Michigan, I think this grossly oversimplifies the problem. I'm sure my Canadian friends will agree. This assumes there's some clear algorithm for determining a "safe" speed. There&#x2

When you say "move M-x customize to gtk widgets", which text based would you replace with GTK widgets? Customize certainly doesn't initially seem as friendly as a traditional preferences dialog, but I would be hesitant to los

I'm no expert, but I believe the rationale is to simplify relicensing (GPLv2 -> GPLv3, for instance). I also think the papers disallow dual licensing the project with a proprietary license. There's more discussion here: https:

GNU requires contributors (and maintainers) to assign copyright for non-trivial contributions. Benno doesn't want to do this, thus in GNU's eyes, he can't be the maintainer. You can argue (and it has been, to death) whether c

You aren't going to get away from systemd with a Debian or Ubuntu system. Both Debian 8 and Ubuntu 15.04 (and beyond) use systemd. There are very few mainstream Linux distributions that haven't adopted it, Slackware being the nota

You've probably lived somewhere with leaded pipes. They are very common. Across the country we are working to replace leaded pipes when we can, but the problem is very complex. As it turns out, it's much more cost-effective to tre

This isn't as surprising as you might think. Roger and Me isn't a documentary, it's an editorial. It's actually used in film classes as an example of creative editing to make a point. I'm not saying that Flint isn&#

I think a lot of the common idioms passed around about microkernels stem from the old Torvalds v. Tannenbaum argument [1]. It wasn't that Torvalds was right and Tannebaum was wrong. It was simply that Tannenbaum had reliability and the

I have to second the deck of cards approach. One particularly effective exercise is to hand someone a shuffled deck of numeric cards and ask them to write down a process for sorting them, using only the concept of bigger or smaller. Given a
