Precisely. I lost interest in Obama as a presidential candidate when in 2008 as senator he voted to renew the Patriot Act[1]. [1]Clinton Slams Obama for Voting “for” the PATRIOT Act at ABC-Facebook New Hampshire Debate - https://

God I hate leaf blowers. Interestingly when I went to Beijing recently I was pleasantly surprised at the absence of noisy gardening machines. The streets were much cleaner there and the landscaping noticeably better. I think I want to move

Actually, of the the examples mentioned in the article, I preferred the text the Bad Quarto over the Folio. For instance the reversal of roles between the sentinels in the opening scene appeals to me. Somehow it evokes memories of myriad ti

I haven't used fish, but I'm curious about the auto-completion/history magic. Is it similar to dynamic-complete-history(CTRL-META-i) in bash?

Same here. I hadn't heard anything about him in years until 2014 when he took on the task of converting the Emacs code base to git. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-01/msg00... It

I am a software developer and "technical user". I don't care about new features. I tried switching from OO to LO and my experience was that it is full of bugs and not 100% compatible with my existing corpus of OO diles. I&#x2

My experience with Magit: I played around with it, and didn't see any advantage over using git commands. Then I tried pushing a change. I was expecting some confirmation on what refspec to use... but no! Magit pushed my change directl

I tried installing TextSecure recently but it wouldn't work without the Google Play services. I hadn't herd of their new app Signal. Has anyone tried it? I'm really interested in hearing anyone's experience using it. BTW

I had the same experience. I am using CyanogenMod as well and as much as I dislike Google I did install the Play services. I can't even remember why but I think I needed it to use the google voice app. Anyway, google play apparently tr

No this is completely wrong. Look up Title IX. It's the reason the university I went to e.g. had a women's swim team but not a men's team.

Totally agree. I saw 'time.com' and didn't even bother clicking. Somewhat related: I also skip over any links to paywalled sites(nytimes, wsj, etc...).

This looks like a set of notes that are mostly correct but encourage bad practices. I think it's because they author doesn't understand git and doesn't know what they are doing. >A lightweight tag is simply a named pointer

Very nice! I notice that some bugs have been fixed since I last tried the latest development version(~4 months ago). I really like the enhancement to C-x TAB to use the arrow keys to adjust the indentation on the selected region.

But do they make a positive or a negative difference? I would argue that my father had a negative influence. Mom wasn't really good or bad so I'd say she didn't make a difference. I think Neil Tyson's observation that he

Last time I checked, Apple's QuickTime Player was able to do this. There's even an option to show frame numbers in place of units of time in the UI.

This has been a long standing issue for me. I just tend to use email/im less and less. Actually, I just communicate with people less and less, period. Using encryption only draws even more attention to yourself.

I'd just like to point out that there are considerations other than latency that you should be thinking about. Sure, you can optimize for latency, but just wait and see what happens when you get hit with a DDOS attack...

The thing is, I read "Super Immunity" by Joel Fuhrman and I've been obsessed with following his recommendation of eating greens, onions, mushrooms, beans, berries and seeds every day. Whole Foods is the only place around here where I can ge
