Oct 4th, and they're deleting everything? Can you imagine getting back from a trip to discover everything had been deleted. It seems like they should give more time than this.

Correction: Virtual reality goggles and the Birdly apparatus made them think they could fly. The copious references to Oculus make me think the Facebook PR team have swung into act…

Can anyone explain what this would mean for the day-to-day programmer?

W3Schools is the site programming hipsters love to hate... after they've discretely used it to get going in their programming. A lot of people also use it to get going in their des…

While I'm still chewing on the general premise... I have to say I really like the way the author quantified the involvement of the various parties involved in chef. That took some …

Thanks... that's helpful to know where Ansible is coming from in all this. You seem to be following the management pattern of the organizations behind the majority of the tools and…

insects aren't going to be happy about this.

Lol... I never knew the + stopped working... I've been using it all along. I guess I always assumed the search term I was prepending a + to was always in there, somewhere. No doubt…

Is that the awesome tiling window manager?

Actually... I don't!
