    I started indoor climbing 3 months ago and it's done wonders for my grip strength, as well as my overall health. I can't recommend it enough for engineers and other problem solving…

    I'd strongly suggest you contact the maintainer of the python3 package and request a backport. 3.5.1 is in testing, so it should be possible, and perhaps even easy to backport.

    Respectfully, I think this amounts to bias more than anything. It's a lot easier to believe that the slide-offs are caused by bad driving - and most probably are. But some are unav…

    > Winter driving is really no different from any other kind of driving in which the driver exceeds the limits of the vehicle's available traction. I actually agree with this statem…

    When you say "move M-x customize to gtk widgets", which text based would you replace with GTK widgets? Customize certainly doesn't initially seem as friendly as a traditional prefe…

    At this rate, they'll be sold out by the time it's supposed to go "public".

    In IPv4 terms, imagine owning a class B block of addresses.

    I'm no expert, but I believe the rationale is to simplify relicensing (GPLv2 -> GPLv3, for instance). I also think the papers disallow dual licensing the project with a proprietary…

    GNU requires contributors (and maintainers) to assign copyright for non-trivial contributions. Benno doesn't want to do this, thus in GNU's eyes, he can't be the maintainer. You ca…

    You aren't going to get away from systemd with a Debian or Ubuntu system. Both Debian 8 and Ubuntu 15.04 (and beyond) use systemd. There are very few mainstream Linux distributions…

    The more interesting thing to do (for this crowd, at least) would be to run your own instance: https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social/blob/master/INSTALL

    You've probably lived somewhere with leaded pipes. They are very common. Across the country we are working to replace leaded pipes when we can, but the problem is very complex. As …

    This isn't as surprising as you might think. Roger and Me isn't a documentary, it's an editorial. It's actually used in film classes as an example of creative editing to make a poi…

    If you'd like to explore a bit more quickly: window.i.am.gandalf = true There's also something like a debug mode available by calling: window.ze.goggles()

    I think a lot of the common idioms passed around about microkernels stem from the old Torvalds v. Tannenbaum argument [1]. It wasn't that Torvalds was right and Tannebaum was wrong…
