In my project I use "env GOPATH=$PWD go ..." in the makefile, that way it all goes in the current directory. There's probably some good reason this is a bad idea, but go is kinda funky anyway so I make up my own best practice

Straight razors are pretty popular still in shaving forums.

The IoM isn't part of the EU or the UK. As a Manxman living in Europe, I'm fortunate that my mother's side of the family is English or I'd have more trouble with work permits and whatnot. I haven't been able to exch

This isn't really a Docker thing though, is it? It is talking about the case of a program that includes its dependencies in its own source code tree. I think docker-ized programs would still link against e.g. the system libssl rather t

Doesn't work on Xfce either. On a virtual terminal thingy (ctrl-alt-f1) it shows a grey background with white text. I suspect blink is only implemented on the Mac's terminal, not in Linux-land.

Looks like it was people clicking google code's "export to github" feature before you got round to doing it ;-) I wouldn't worry about it - the clones will probably not go anywhere and just die off, abandoned. True they

The FlatBuffers repo on github continues a couple of "meta-trends" I've noticed in recent Google projects. https://github.com/google/flatbuffers First, it uses CMake to build - for a long time Google pro

You haven't broken the podcast RSS feed, thank you. Another large podcast network recently did a redesign and broke all of their feeds, apparently on purpose. Crazy. However, the podcast feed is impossible to find now if you didn&#x2

It's sounds like how Gerrit works, from a user's POV at least. You can push to a repo that you don't really have write permission to, and it goes into Gerrit. The post-push scripts create a sort of branch-tag thingy from mast

Yes, I do this too. Incredibly, a lot of airports only have hot water in the bathrooms. Or sinks designed in such a way that a bottle can hardly be filled at all.

While we're at it, can we be allowed to carry bottles of water through security? At least in Europe, having to pay 3€ for a 50cl bottle of water after passing through the checks is clearly just a money-making scheme and has nothing to

I dunno... anecdata here, but my kids have quite a few sets - Batman, Ninja Turtles, Star Wars as well as some brick boxes and Lego City stuff - and they mixed them all together and now build whatever they fancy all the time. I was horrifie

It's why I love the Nintendo DS and its successor the 3DS - any game can be paused just by closing the lid! In this low-power mode it can last for many hours, possibly days.

Does this work for you? https://groups.google.com/forum/?_escaped_fragment_=forum/tm... It works here with Firefox+noscript, but in w3m it messes up when you read an article and forces you to a "need JS"

Wow, that's quite a surprise. I just checked the terms you quoted - https://play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy.html - and of course you're absolutely right. I can see why Google specify this sinc

Unfortunately there is a flaw in this design of Firefox OS. By baking the rendering engine into the core OS, it is impossible to upgrade the browser separately from the rest of the system. So updating Firefox (the browser) requires a firmwa

Ah, bummer. I tested in csh too but not fish.

There's just one scenario: a completely absent #! line. It's an easy fix, just add the line, otherwise 0755 scripts with no #! do execute using the current shell.

FWIW I had the same good support experience regarding Nexus tablet failures. The cynical side of me thinks that this is one reason they are rumored to be canning the Nexus tablet line. Support costs are too high.

Right, I'm sure you could do the same thing with grep and a classic /var/log/messages - in fact there's probably something to do this already. Or you'd find a gz from the day in question and read all of it. Jus

Have you tried using the logging module? Might be overkill for really small scripts as it requires a few lines to set up, but even the tiniest tool ends up requiring print-debugging at some point. With logging it works the same in 2/3,

I have a small script in my ~/bin that pipes `info --subnodes "$@"` into less. That way I don't have to remember all the keys, and the whole output is like a big man page. Although on Debian and Ubuntu the info pages are

I disagree, and think they've done a great job. The CMake devs have always been really responsive to bigish projects that find CMake to be almost-but-not-quite good enough for their project, adding in missing autotools features or othe

You can speed it up somewhat by tweaking ~/.gradle/gradle.properties and adding org.gradle.daemon=true and org.gradle.parallel=true. That way at least it doesn't have to re-read all the build files each time and will run som

Right, I'll try not to be so grouchy :-D Some reasons are the bloat, the possibility of "accidental" forks when a non-upstream version is compiled and checked-in binary-only, crufty old versions hanging around, and security p

Right... but this will be an anchor on adoption. I can see why e.g. the Android build system does the same thing since it's all off in its own world anyway. I doubt you'd be popular with Linux distro packagers if you required baze
