I have a few 32 bit machines under my watch, and this is disheartening.

Dwarf Fortress is kind of this interesting standard of complexity over interface design. prioritizing depth over a pretty UI seems to really do wonders in development..

practical purposes abound, sure, but I'd just like to see the intermediate notation that pops out if someone were to attempt to design one. I don't think it'd be like graphviz..

no thanks.

I feel sorry for those who were caught up in this through their stay, but I feel no sympathy for any company that ties their door locks to a vulnerable, non-isolated network.

I have to wonder if they considered breaking down the doors with a fire axe... if they were booked, would replacing the doors outweigh the cost of the ransom?

props to wadler. best ~40 minutes I've ever spent.

but nowadays, I think having a common runtime plus a language that can exploit that is quite nice. having written some java lately, it was a refreshing break from the brutalism of C.

looking forward to whatever they bring to the table!

EDIT: java without any IDEs is also very usable. my workflow from small C projects didn't change. I don't bother with Eclipse, I just do all my work in my terminal.

though at least the latter has a proper, released product...

if you aren't breaking into my home (or other property), or forcing me to hand you something I would not normally hand you, then you can use whatever information you want.

good on them.

ward's site actually contains the rules for deconstructing the JSON and translating it to HTML. I'll have a look at that when I have time.

here's a dump of the entire wiki in WikiWikiWeb markup. if you can do anything with it, let me know.

it's still in plaintext, i.e WikiWikiWeb markup format, and I haven't touched it in a while. if anybody knows how to convert this to HTML, let me know and I'll batch-convert it.

ward, your site is taking a down-hill turn. stop with this remodeling and go back to the static site, please.

I worry what else is lurking in libc++ implementations that implies dependencies on things that aren't exactly portable...

the dependence on /dev/urandom as an absolute path is the most jarring to me.

I wonder if you could do something a tad larger for things like mathematics and logic.

I'd buy that. a wearable reference that you can use with optical magnification.

kind of hilarious. wonder why that is..?

thanks for spending time with us.

rest in peace.

another victim of "our incredible journey."

Linux Mint: my mother. two years since the switch and she loves it. can't say I don't either.

Arch Linux: my significant other. a year since she adopted it, and she can find her way around just fine.

FreeBSD: my father. with i3 and a couple of scripts, he's able to boot up into a single-use environment and do what he wants. very simple and easy and I don't have to touch his laptop for a long time.

so.. user friendly? user friendliness depends on the interface that you slap onto the front of the operating system. turns out, there are different UIs for different purposes!

and that's why linux is a good choice. underneath, it's secure, maintainable, and free. on top, it can look like anything you want, thanks to X and the various DE/WMs.

my mother needs a full-on Windows-like GUI, start menu and all. my SO needs a slim interface so she uses fluxbox, which with a click of her mouse has everything she needs in a convenient menu (plus workspaces), and my father doesn't need anything but a web browser.

the kernel doesn't matter to them if you dress it up nicely.

but a university is not a place to push morality. it's a place of education and ideas, and as a university, you can't stand by some values and curse others, because you're a campus of free thought and exchange.

the moment that you express some preference towards some ideas and start labeling others as bad or horrible, you push your own morality.

stop making it seem like I'm arguing for anything more than that.

education is not about imposing your personal values on somebody else, and that covers morality.

edit: I like how this is being downvoted. congratulations.

with the emphasis on them being glorified, overpriced day-care centers, it seems that they're keen on teaching morality instead of presenting options to the supposed thinking adults on their campus.

good job!

a lot of companies tend towards that behavior. a lot of single developers tend towards that behavior. I don't like it because it represents a kind of destructive egotism.

hopefully that's not what it is and it's just Intel not thinking too hard.

2. geany. larger projects demand something a little more, and geany provides just that. light enough that I can keep it running almost 24/7 and feature-full enough to support large projects with dozens of files.

for one, the CEO should be thinking "oh shit what did I do", because he's now responsible for every event on reddit. good job, I can't wait to see what happens, if anything.

for two, it really shows how violent people are towards those with differing political opinions.

note, I'm not referring to /r/The_Donald, I'm referring to everybody who thinks that /r/The_Donald should be shown the door with no other reason than "I don't agree with their views".

you're shouting at someone to shut up because you don't like what they're saying instead of arguing.

note, I don't like the folks there either very much, but they are people, with opinions, and they founded a place to share them, and it just so happens that they're pretty loud and easily spotted.

have some decency. stop calling for a total ban or witch hunts on the people you don't like, because you look exactly like them to the outsider. and outsiders are all over.

develop some common decency. your fellow man isn't as terrible as you think he is. polarization will only cause more problems.

spez, the CEO of reddit, can't make this conclusion, which is kind of funny. if you can't do this, then can your users? can the users who're friends of the users? do you understand how this represents your community? clearly not.

I'll be sitting back and watching the outcome. at the most, it's social commentary. at the least, it's cheap entertainment.

have fun dealing with the outcome of this. I don't envy you, but this was your decision.
