I sure do. I believe it's the first season episode "When the Bough Breaks," (S01E16). That show tackled so many heavy topics right out of the gate... I respect the hell of of the c…

I can see how you might suspect that, but I got a different read from it. The constant references to the topic as the "IPv6 Cat" struck me as another in the long tradition of autho…

> Software developers are the wizards and shamans of the modern age. We ought to use our powers with the austerity and integrity such power implies. This is one of the most powerfu…

One of my favorite works of literature and television adaptations. If someone ever had the perspicacity to create a streaming service showing nothing but Ian McShane performing sce…

I think a lot of that can be chalked up to the fact that the minds behind CMake are pretty consistently top-notch--most of the Kitware folks have at least one post-grad CS degree a…

I'm not sure that the criticisms for the article and parent comment are quite so easy to dismiss wholesale, but I do concur that many of them are actually criticisms of the GNOME D…
