It may be due to the quality of the clay, or the lack of clay at all, for making the bricks. I saw a documentary on this just a few months ago aired by our local PBS station on this very subject. http://ninenet.org/archives&

When you add salt to bread, and the recipe calls for one teaspoon, a teaspoon of kosher salt is not the same as table salt or sea salt. So how much is it? (It's significantly different.) When something calls for three cups of flour, an

What you just said is this new thing isn't as good, and probably never will be, but you imply we should use it, even though the current tools are better. See my complaint? If they are going to introduce a new tool, it must be better th

It's awful. I thought HN just didn't care. Why is this so hard? I do this every day for work and HN should be dead simple. Is this saying HN doesn't have anyone who knows how to do this? EDIT: My initial post was from my phon

Make existed long before npm and make is the basis of all our package management in our company and our operating systems.

But doing this in C already exists and works well. I don't understand the point of it. Although, in this day and age, rather than use the standard Unix toolset, people invent their own tools as if they are new. "Make" versus

Hmm. So for people who don't know how to use Unix/flex/yacc? This is just reinventing an existing wheel.

As a business owner, sometimes it can't be helped, and sometimes you have to think that way cause firing someone is never a pleasant task. Sometimes you know it must be done but you know the person is nice enough but just not competent

I look at this and it reminds of drawings from the late 1800s of people doing things with mechanical devices that we now use electronics for. It just seems very contrived and impractical.

He "blew up," yelling and cursing at Rasmussen. He remembers saying to Rasmussen, "I'm going to PDR [public disclosure request] the shit out of you." And you want to say the PD could have handled that better? Go int

In a government agency that has sensitive information about ongoing investigations about criminal activity and personal information, you can't put up a web page for ANYTHING without approval. Also, he admits that when that happened, he

By "OP" you mean the author of the article then, no, the article is not about web apps.

Not too long ago, I lost a job cause I didn't know Fortran.

Part of my comment was about his statement that the Unix philosophy is something of the past, which is false. Parts of the rest of my comment dealt with what he said about the plethora of "one size fits all" tools people are using

"That philosophy was great, but hasn’t survived into the Web age." As one who still writes shell scripts for my work that do such a thing, and programs, too, I disagree as every Unix and BSD coder I know still does these things. I

You skipped this part: “Five years ago, [a suspect] could have physically walked into a bank and carried out a transaction. We could have put a surveillance team on that but now, most of it is done online. We just want to know about the vis

You still don't get his point. You're trying to think up solutions but that has nothing to do with what he said.

You still don't get it. It's the pedestrian doing the wrong, not the driver. He's saying pedestrians will take advantage of cars auto-braking for them.

And another Windows user who runs "p0wned" shell scripts on his system. Or believe everyone does this on a regular basis. "Just like Windows!"

Microsoft has the enterprise market. True. Google and Apple have everything else. Don't minimize that.

ChromeOS is based on Linux so, please, let us hear just how bad you are saying Linux is.

Define "you". By "you" do you mean criminals and others who are evading, resisting or shooting at cops? Or do you mean the majority of law-abiding citizens without issues that involve the police coming after you? I'

It's a test and a research project, as stated in that article. They found 10,000 ways that don't work. Edison would be proud.
