Yup...i can confirm that
  • Python is probably the language that popularized them, if not invented them. They're saying the team doesn't like using them.

    My take is that other than C++, where it's reasonable, forbidden language features are a smell for the team not having a healthy understanding of the language

    Real examples here?
  • Original grep was pretty much a wrapper around sed (or actually maybe ed, I don't remember). That's why it's called g/re/p, which is the sed command to do the same thing.

  • Patents expire after 20 years, yes, but patents aren't copyrights. No current copyright expires in 20 years. They all expire 70 years after the death of the author (or 120 after creation in the case of corporate with for hire)

    Can I install linux on this?
  • I don't know if it's that cut and dry. If you study a Operative Systems class or buy a book about them, it'll exclusively deal with the kernel.

    That is an act of cruelty towards the poor pokémon
  • I don't get this comment. Gnome is not trying to make a walled garden, and Microsoft has taken every chance they get at making walled gardens (Windows phone, windows 8 arm, various proprietary file formats and protocols), they just haven't been very successful at it.

    How terminal works
  • Yeah, they're mostly bits of hardware that turn ttl/serial into a USB device. Then you can use minicom or dterm to connect to the host. Mostly used for embedded development, but also useful for debugging servers that are not connecting to the network without having to lug a keyboard and screen.

    After they're connected, if they speak vt110, your terminal emulator can display everything properly

  • Being alone with humans on a forest happens all the time. Hiking is a thing. And while I do grant you that rarely fucked up people do fucked up shit, most of the time absolutely nothing happens. At most there's some nodding.

    Security
  • I mean, I never do that without downloading the script and reading it. I also read makepkg files. It doesn't take that much to validate these things

    North Texas man sues Cinemark claiming 24-ounce beer cups can't hold 24 ounces
  • The US customary units are officially defined on top of metric, and 1 fl oz is 29.5735295625 mL, but an oz is 28.349523125 g. I imagine this decision was just to fuck with people (since 1ml of water weighs 1g at sea level, at 4°)

  • The fsf also thinks it should be a different license apparently, given that gplv3 doesn't force you to distribute source to users of a server, but agpl does.

    Although to be fair it.migjt have more fondo with the concept not being very well tested.

    Who would win: Borg Cube or Death Star?
  • No, because they don't behave like lasers (like, they don't move at the speed of light). They're more like massive, short lived light sabers, which are plasma within a forcefield.

    The death star explosion was a inside job!
  • Not saying it makes sense (but shooting at moving targets that can change direction after you shoot, from a gun mounted on a platform with movement out of your control is not just math)

    Daylight saving creator left the chat....
  • tz offset is really not enough. You'd need to save the time zone id and/or offset, to have you library calculate deviations such as daylight savings.

    Even that, that would break if the user moves and now what they setup is using their previous timezone.

    Basically, I'm saying that storing the offset works most of the time, but not all of the time.

  • It depends. If something needs to happen in local time (like, always at the same time regardless of daylights savings for example) you should be storing times in local timezone
