Exactly. You're not supposed to pacman -Syu without looking. Part of your duty when you choose to install Arch is to take a few minutes every week to keep on top of what's new. Call it basic hygiene.
When I was an undergrad, I found very early issues of Dr. Dobb's in the medical library of my university, the name of the magazine having fooled the librarians. I remember spending many happy afternoons there reading…
I think control-L should be "^L", not "^+L", and so on.
Canceling a pledge is possible as long as the project is live (click on "manage my pledges", the cancel button is at the bottom).
Interesting. I don't get this at all from his message (that he is depressed and frustrated). I understand that this is painful for an entrepreneur to read, but Notch doesn't seem interested in using his fame to project…
University administrators, mostly. They outnumber faculty at many universities, and their salaries are rising fast.
Heh: "Achievement unlocked: Refresh Prince of Bel Air".

That keyboard is wrong on so many levels.
Those of us old enough to remember the early days of the Macintosh know that this is nothing new. Apple programs used undocumented calls to QuickDraw and did all kinds of yucky stuff with the upper 8 bits of the address…
That could well be it. My bank enforces similar short passwords, but they're not such a big security risk since they lock the account after three mistakes, and require you to visit a branch in person to reactivate it. I…
Seconding this: the killer app of Arch Linux is its community support.
Is there a country where it is usual to put the percent sign before the number? I sometimes see things like "%100 performance increase" on English web sites, and I wonder where that comes from.
Chinese writing does not encode sounds. It encodes meaning. If you write Chinese in pinyin, all you do is write down the sounds, not the meaning. Said differently: why do we keep writing English like this, instead of…
Eye no.
Your wife seems to be affected by the recently discovered vulnerability. It would be advisable to upgrade her firmware to the latest version.
I'm not so sure the majority of developers / hackers (the target market for this device) are used to Ctrl on the bottom left. I know several (myself included) who remap their keyboard so it sits left of "A".
Love at first sight. The only thing left is deciding whether to buy the desktop or the laptop version.
He did not throw away $50k/day. He walked away from it because he had enough money already and did not need any more of it (especially since he did not particularly enjoy all the attention that came with the money, but…
Only France, hm? Let me google that for you: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=language+academies&l=1 Just because English borrows words more easily than most other languages ("We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has…
News flash: different languages use different words!
Do consumers really control their devices anymore? Maybe they still can, but in the industry, there's no doubt that this is viewed as a problem that needs solving.
After trying Ubuntu Touch on my 2012 Nexus 7, and finding it WAY too unstable for my needs (I averaged maybe 10 minutes of use between hard crashes), I installed Arch on a chroot, accessed via VNC. The specific…
