cmsd2··on LastPass command-line interface tool
beat me to it although i made a tap instead. but unless i'm mistaken you don't need openssl or libxml2 since osx provides those.

Could be mr pygy_ isn't english..

e.g. redaction in german means editing

cmsd2··on Go talks at FOSDEM 2014
same for Lennart's systemd talk. that one might have been foreseeable though.
cmsd2··on The Erlang Shell
sure, any existing connections continue to be serviced by the old code, and new connections are picked up by the new code.

if you need more elaborate lifecycle management of components as they are upgraded, then maybe OSGI could do that.

erlang's approach really appeals to me though -- not only does the code get upgraded, but it's in cooperation with its message loop so you don't miss a step, and you also get a callback to migrate your actor state.

cmsd2··on The rise of Dogecoin, the internet's hottest cryptocurrency
+/u/dogetipbot 10 doge

there you go.

edited to add (and bring back on topic): this might look spammy, and in fact it is -- some subreddits don't like all the tipping noise at all, but on /r/dogecoin it's the big thing that differentiates it from the other altcoins.

cmsd2··on Alternative Christmas Message - 4OD [UK]
Maybe it is where you are, but here in the UK, saying Happy Holidays sounds really awful, and Happy (or Merry) Christmas is standard.
cmsd2··on Tracking Changes in Directories with Python
I've been thinking about the best way to do this, and I too didn't want to rely on having a backup script running all the time.

Windows seems to have a low-level api for querying the filesystem/vfs for changes since you last looked: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa36...

And BTRFS has some ability to do this with find-new: http://www.tummy.com/blogs/2010/11/01/fun-with-btrfs-what-fi...

It's nice that btrfs has these new interesting features, also see send/receive, but it's not available in the vfs, and I suppose never will be.

cmsd2··on Node.js Tools for Visual Studio
I've tried having all these installed, and having them all in my %PATH%, along with msys and the platform sdk and so on, but i found I just ended up with my PATH env var being truncated because I went over the environment block size limit. I've given up pretending windows is unixy and ditched it in favor of homebrew on osx

cmsd2··on German railways to test anti-graffiti drones
DB could supply free masking tape and plastic sheeting to cover the windows while the artists work.

Why not go further and put up the train carriage specs/dimensions in an easy to use template online, so you can lay out your design in advance to take account of the windows.

Going any further like sponsoring chosen designs might backfire because then it all gets viewed as too commercial, and we'll get people defacing the corporate graffiti.

cmsd2··on Pony ORM - Use Pure Python to Speak to Your Data
could be an American/British English difference. I would consider omitting "of" incorrect in British English.
cmsd2··on Hey, C Is a Functional Language Too
From that it looks like the caller always has to allocate the right amount of space on the stack to hold the result. What if the result size is known only by the callee?

Denying yourself the use of the heap is also going to make closures rather difficult. You can use this style to pass back a function pointer, but the caller would also need to allocate space for the callee's captured variables. Ick.

cmsd2··on New PlayStation 3 Hack May Be One That Sony Can’t Stop
maaaybe.

We've only had our copy of eclipse for a short while, and since it's a big commitment to get a group to spend 4 or 5 hours together we've only managed 2 games so far. Roughly 10 hours for 100 bucks seems expensive, but what if you divide that across a group of 5 people? Then it's already down to 2$ per hour.

Every time the game comes to the table it looks like a better investment. All depends how you account for it, and how many plays you get out of it before you move on to the next new thing.

cmsd2··on Surface Pricing Announced - $499 USD
i expect that's not region sensitive either. in the UK the BBFC classified Skyrim as a 15.

eta: although that now seems to be merely a historical curiosity, since the BBFC no longer rates games - we use PEGI instead.
