Would you mind backing that up with a link?
One of the problems I face when somebody comes along and tells me that they're now on Telegram, Cryptocat, Wire, or whathaveyou is that I might recall an issue but there doesn't seem to be a good up-to-date overview…
Please start with this log entry > 2016-09-29T23:57:32Z Xach: I dropped com.informatimago because I do not want to have to discuss anything with pjb again. I have never enjoyed discussing anything previously, but his…
His projects were removed from quicklisp in September (see e.g. http://blog.quicklisp.org/2016/09/september-2016-quicklisp-d...) over this matter.
There are two sides to this and I think they're important to distinguish: If the person in question was wrongfully accused, this could do undeserved damage to him. This would be a misfortune (albeit not a great one…
A person can be smart in one domain and stupid in another, so much is clear (think Grothendieck in maths and politics) But a person cannot be both respectable and disrespectable at the same time, I find, although I'm…
Please scroll further. I understand that some of it is French but you should notice rather quickly nonetheless that this did not just happen on a single occasion. Essentially everything he writes fits into the narrative…
PJB has become a bit (too little for my taste) of a persona non grata in the common lisp world (which has a large overlap with the emacs world) ever since it was suggested and so far not disproved (names match,…
Comparing this with surgery is not fair, I think. Here (with a food like soylent) the gains are low and the risks are high. With surgery, the risks are high but so are the gains. Before you go into surgery you're given…

Another false negative: Pinterest.
The use-case? Well, you have a process that will run for a long time. You don't want to keep a terminal open. You /could/ just detach it. Now what if you want to kill it? Open another terminal, kill it by PID or through…
I didn't mean to imply that you did; sorry if that came out wrong.
I take the attribution in the first link (references to "Führerbunker" and "Führer") to mean that the author is comparing Lennart Poettering to Hitler. That's not funny, it's just very, very inappropriate.
You probably mean `git fetch` or `git pull`. There is no `git update` in the default feature set.

"Sign up to view more plans" Except that after I sign up, I still can't view the plans until I set up my billing details. Meh.
Quick rundown of alternatives and up/downsides (e.g. everybody has Debian so that's not noteworthy) of which I've personally used the first four: - DigitalOcean has FreeBSD has Fedora - Vultr has FreeBSD has Fedora -…
Their customers should rightly be outaged.
Since they make it so clear that they're '[..] not interested in building “crazy libertarian utopias for techies.”', I wonder: Who is? And where can I sign up for that?
Even though this is not what this article is about, quite a few comments suggest better ways to compute the midpoint of two doubles, where "better" is supposed to mean "such that unnecessary overflow is avoided". What I…
I'm sufficiently interested to ask for further details :)
(I don't mind drifting for a bit) A considerable part of their actions is very disruptive, seeking to, in the view of the protesters, I imagine, annoy everybody involved in the transport of nuclear waste to such an…
You're missing the key difference here: The maximum an anti-nuclear protester could hope to achieve through his or her actions would be to have the country quit nuclear power generation, nuclear waste storage, etc. The…
