You need a -z to activate compression. But, nonetheless, please always use rsync when copying host to host.

'subl -w' is the correct incantation.

If this is not an illustration of an executive power grab, what power authorizes the executive branch to round up a group of people?

Even so, legal or not, there is no valid reason to legitimize the internment of Japanese-American citizens.

How so? There is a well thought out reason for this ordering [1], and it has taken hold in many other languages, such as rust and scala. Compare with the complexity of c or c++ type signatures.

Not to mention the condescending attitude:

Most engineers I know would still argue that Merge Sort is a better solution and apparently Robert has had the same argumentative response even though he is an expert in the field. In the lecture he kindly says the following : “… Such people usually don’t program much and shouldn’t be recommending what practitioners do”.

For an example of a runtime state machine, you may want to take a look at Russ Cox's implementation of NFA simulation for regexp in go [1]. The concepts may be a little impenetrable for a Sunday, but there are some interesting references in the source.

No offense taken ;).

It's just that there is a lot of thought wasted solving a derivative problem that could be avoided by continuing to use a simpler solution to the first order problem. This is classical overengineering. At the same time, any good solution to the coffee problem will likely have to find a tuned balance between a number of traits and they will be different for each person.

There are certain abstract tradeoffs that aren't taken into account in the OP (if I remember correctly). In the case of the keurig machine, it solves the complexity and convenience by narrowing flexibility, increasing expense and maybe sacrificing taste (which are all completely valid tradeoffs). The french press or a ceramic dripper maintain the flexibility, expense, taste and minimize complexity at the cost of convenience.

Pointer math is effectively replaced with [slices][1], which are much more flexible and less error prone.

French press, anyone?

I have always been confused by this, as well. IANAL, but the reasoning seems to be based in the need of educators to reduce disruption and offensiveness, at the cost of protected speech. This wikipedia article [1] does a good job laying out the history of opinions on the subject.

What doesn't make sense about this decision is its clear lack of constitutional basis. How does an opinion (via statute) on illegal drug use conflict with a constitutional amendment?

Even then, Gdb kills many competitors on flexibility alone.

No promises on the hash tag, but I lend my condolences on any losses he may have in this awful scenario.

I don't see how this is a "failure of the free market". Text messaging prices are fixed because one can't freely move their plan and hardware from telco to telco when one gets cheaper or better.

What organization within the government is so vain that they can't use a great piece of technology due to a mascot?

I just hooked my shell to my frontal lobe. I find aliases to be restricting.

I find this technique great to keep unrelated fixes in separate commits. A single revision may not pass a set of unit tests, but the entire feature branch will before being merged into the release line. Keeping the barrier low for committed code is one of git's best features.

I only knew his content.

A true loss.

Where is the guy with the comment about generics? Disappointing.

Not as far as I know, but please feel free to give it a try and report back.

"I was asked a few weeks ago, "What was the biggest surprise you encountered rolling out Go?" I knew the answer instantly: Although we expected C++ programmers to see Go as an alternative, instead most Go programmers come from languages like Python and Ruby. Very few come from C++." - Rob Pike (http://commandcenter.blogspot.com/2012/06/less-is-exponentia...)

The platform you seek is the seaglider [1]. It is highly efficient and doesn't come with the risk of operating in well known shipping lanes.

She's also succeeded in completely missing her stated demographic by charging for it. I do sense a charlatan.

Your view of the porn-consuming demographic is offensively myopic.

I'm surprised he didn't just kick in his own funding. Is $10 million enough? $20 million? What's the price of going from being a director to a legend?

I've effectively boycotted as I have no legal means of watching the events. Way to make another institution irrelevant to my generation, big media. Enjoy your profits while they last.
