People who aren't owners can't normally add labels.

This just doesn't mean anything to us given that these issues have been talked about for much, much, much longer than a single month. Why is a random GitHubber telling us this and not someone in a more authoritative position? It seems

Yes, this! NixOS is great, but if someone pulls the repos for the source packages of somethings in NixOS... you're just completely out of luck. But if you know the hash, and someone in IPFS still has it available....

Yeah, if they're talking about what I think they're talking about, yes, something like LINQ could be implemented with macros (compiler plugin variant, I think) in Rust.

I like writing Rust for more reasons that CPU efficiency. In fact, that's behind: strong memory safety, Option/no-null (probably lumps in with "strong memory safety") and of course generics and the type system at large.

Oy vey folks, why not Google LVFS to see why it's interesting. There's a new CLI tool and dbus api for discovering and installing firmware updates that are securely hosted by redhat. There is also native support in GNOME Software

Wow, just had a nostalgic moment. I remember QBasic. I remember my elementary school having a book about Basic and being able to do some of the example games and apps. And a few not working. BASIC/QBASIC differences? But mostly I remem

Or finding out that my Chromebook Pixel 3 has USB Type-C, but not Thunderbolt 3... which means I can't have an eGPU. And with the Razer Blade + Core set to actually make eGPUs a big thing... I'm pretty disappointed. I'll prob

There are multiple patches for tmux floating around. One of them is even correct, if you want 24bit tmux. My arch and nix machines are both running it.

I get your point in these threads, but unless I'm misunderstanding, who cares about stolen, potentially undeleted Amazon creds? Revoke the key in the portal and be done with it? Given who I'm replying to, I'm assuming that I&

Can someone detail how widely Juniper/ScreenOS is deployed in the wild?

I'm sorry, I've scoffed at other valuations and investments, but I'm just completely beside myself. Why does a chat room need "apps"? It's kind of weird actually. There's two sorts of people that defend th

Huh? In the AMA they hinted that the thing can boot other OSes. Whatever the convergence plan is, Pixel C is the test hardware. The bootloader bits are in the ChromeOS tree. It uses Coreboot. It's a ChromeOS device and I suspect it&#x2

I like Google Voice and I use the functionality. Should every single Firefox user have a Google Voice extension pre-installed? It's just painfully stupid in every way. If it was a built in extension that by-default talked to a Mozilla

Even for weird little side projects, it's always feels safer to me to get changes upstreamed than keep carrying around "special snowflake" vendored copies that diverge.

And they're still the only one that works worth a damn on Linux and Windows. So sadly, I'm still using them. Though, I've never, ever had a perf problem with it.

Huh? Then they're just fields and not properties, maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to say. And there are numerous reasons that Properties are preferable to Fields. Unless someone else can help me, I think this is

The tool is really well done and impressive. Yes, it exists to work around gaps in GitHub's functionality, but it's not like we're going to self host git repos and use gitolite...

Yes. I did this. And then the day after graduating had an extreme realization that I had no idea why I was doing anything. I'd been on autopilot for the last 9 years. Ran myself into the ground in highschool to graduate top of the clas

Kinda. I think it'd be better if the aspnet team's CI system would upload new dnx packages to myget... and then also build a new docker image with the latest dnx bits baked in. That way I can try the latest and greatest of rc2 wit

I'm aiming to have a demo of ASPNET5 on Kubernetes within two weeks. :) I'm having to figure out a lot along the way. I wish the aspnet team would take direct ownership of their docker image. There's no reason that the aspnet

Have a large vs solution. Have a TFS build server that puts your cloned projects at not-the-top-of-the-filesystem. It's very easy to hit that limit. It's atrocious and a joke. And Microsoft has paid me as an employee to write some

Why? Amazon doesn't have a direct competitor with a "computer on a thumbdrive with an HDMI connector". Well, they do, but it's sold as "media center on a thumbdrive with an HDMI connector" and that's what

I guarantee they've lost more potential revenue doing this than they would have ever lost from anything that could be construed as piracy, though that claim still just flatly doesn't make sense to me. Stuff like this makes me wond

LLVM may not remain a feature that only exists in one column soon. It's a brave new .NET world... LLILC is a thing (.NET frontend for LLVM). LLVM has a role in Android and iOS work in VS already and I think that role will only expand f
