Same here Mark. Thanks for putting these words so nicely. I have also stopped using commercial social network like Twitter. People do not even know that their brains are being mani…

Oh, he wants poor students who write free software in their free time and give it away to emulate DJB and also offer $500 for bugs others found in their software.

Yes, totally agree with your observations. I am also hoping to eventually move into the "everyone is remote" model. Minority remote model just does not work for me. I consistently …

+1 to all the points made. I have been working remotely for a while now. These are the things I learned. - time difference matters. It is better if there is some overlap with at le…

I have only looked at the slides, but sorry to say, I find it very "hand wavy". Don't mistake me. I love Julia's work and her enthusiasm.

Yes. But the amount of information in the debian/copyright file is a lot more than just one scalar flag. I think that level of detail on the licenses is extremely important.

I think using same field names in multiple records is possible with a GHC extension in GHC 8.0.1. https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Records/OverloadedReco... https://ghc.haskel…

Thank you.

Thanks for educating me. I was totally mistaken. Thanks.

I used nixos for a few weeks and then went back to Debian. * I share the concern of the author on symlinks farm. It is scary! I would like it to be dealt with in the filesystem lay…

Appreciate the great work! British did a lot of nasty killings in India as well, for instance the Jalianwala Bagh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jallianwala_Bagh_massacre

I didn't say it is commendable work. SIP is what we have at the moment as a standard and is being used by a lot of products out there and it was written by a Cisco employee. That i…

The Stanford/Coursera course on algorithms part 1 is a good resource for Big O. Knuth's "Concrete mathematics", 9th chapter (I think) has some good coverage on Big-O/Omega notation…

I have looked at Android code. It is awful. Now, I don't form opinions about Google engineers based just on that code. I meant to say, generalizations don't always work well. They …

Or in other words, how to "parameterise" a container. An interesting idea.

Thanks for saying this. Or in other words, there are two steps: 1. Make git aware of your signing key git config user.signingkey "..." 2. Sign the commit git commit -S ... That's i…

"unprofessional"? really? I have been reading lwn since 2000 and it is the single most important site when it comes to general Free Software news and in depth information. Jon is a…
