Why not use pipes for piping? e.g. print du("*", "-sb") | sort("-rn")

Why?

In english. Other languages have a much stronger correlation between characters and sounds.

How would I verify that this source was actually used?

I think you are being a bigger jerk than dextorious. You are just angry because he called you a hipster.

I checked his history and he is far from being a troll. You on the other hand wrote a content-free rant full of self-praise ("I try to comment when I have useful, unique, original, or non-standard things to say") and then posted it to HN too.

Did you read the article?

Where does the captain go to take a nap? I was wondering how he didn't hear the stall sounds in order to immediately return.

Search for swastika in this page (the HN thread not the linked thread).

Cashiers have to deal with thermal printer paper that is being printed all the time. You will be dealing with just one or two printouts per day.

You are being overly dramatic.

What was the language of the previous version?

The way he imports the module is just crazy. Just download the file and import it normally.

What if you couldn't find any confirmation in 2 minutes of frantic googling and your kids were inside the school?

> How quickly we forget the Apple Newton.

Jobs had left Apple when Newton was released.

That's interesting. Do you have any links on how Angry Birds uses Lua?

I think the problem is that you can not change your vote.

When duplicate stories appear in the front page then you will probably upvote the first one. Problem is that this may not be the one with the highest score, or with the biggest discussion. When you then realize that there is a better submission of the same story, you can't change your initial vote.

I think that if you could change your vote, the problem would be corrected by the community itself.

1) A valid reason. 2) Come on, just buy them a usb stick, it will be much cheaper in the long run and way more convenient. 3) Storage is so cheap and CDs so unreliabe that you are better off just ripping them once and never use them again.

So? What is the point you are trying to make?

It may not be important by itself, but it is important to be right. Her nationality may also not be relevant but if someone writes that she is Chinese and she is actually Russian (example), it is important that it gets corrected.

But you just admitted that you can neutralize citizen militias by bribing them.

I'm sorry but this mentality is everything that is wrong with software development. How is bloat not an issue now? We expect that hardware is getting better and better, but it is ok for software to become worse and worse just because it can sort of get away with it?

In this case Firefox has even managed to outperform Moore's law. It managed to become slower in a faster rate than computers get faster.

Nobody is saying that this advice is unique to Python. Feel free to use it for Visual Basic too if you want.

I hate it. In a decreasing level of importance:

- I hate that they removed the contact list. There is an online contacts window, but it stays always on top and can't view/change your status from there.

- You can't pop a video call window out. This is insane, you can't video chat with someone and text chat with some one else at the same time. Screen sharing is almost unusable. This is actually reduced functionality compared to 2.x.

- There is empty space everywhere.

- It feels like they are pushing you to buy stuff everywhere.

It is also much easier to complain about Facebook in Facebook that to find the right forum in skype.com and post something there.

I don't think it is the same thing. Unlike ActiveX, video can be re-encoded (fairly easily I guess if you are going to use 2016 technology).

You need rep to upvote and downvote.

Picking the two extremes does not prove your point. A lot of people are pissed with ads right now. Imagine if they would have to pay for them too (even pennies).

It is a shame the didn't match their exact positions though.

I don't know how resource hungry ZFS is, but the problem would be with the iOS devices, not MacBook Air.

Oh come on. I'm sure they could easily get it through donations if they really can't handle the $99/year.

Being cruel to people is cruel. You can accomplish that by telling the truth too ("Yes you are fat", "Santa does not exist").

Lying is a tool, it can be used for good or bad.
