I assume the larger portion of what's "untenable" is "short commutes"; spending multiple hours of unpaid personal time in a car per day just driving to and from work so that you ca…

For me personally, 90% of it boils down to "unix baseline". I do most of my development work remotely on linux servers of varying flavors, but OSX + homebrew means that I can prett…

It's also slightly stricter with syntax; you can't have extra ending commas. {'foo' : 1, 'bar' : 2,} is valid Python but not valid json.

I use it for just about everything work-related, but given that my day job is literally "connect to sets of remote servers and bang out code" it'd be insane not to. Some of my cowo…

Honestly, I think that we're already moving that direction-- Patreon is comparatively recent, but more and more people are finding that it's actually a viable "microtransaction/sub…

Doesn't help in this situation-- you need to be able to install the base executable for the browser extensions to function.

I started with and loved Mercurial as a DVCS, and it still has some QoL commands that Git requires some hoop-jumping to get at, but ultimately the deciding factor was the inability…

If they have that much trouble taking the flags off of people's accounts, it wouldn't surprise me to find out that there's no codified correlation between "has the AP running" flag…

>Malicious or Stupid? Funny, for a second I couldn't tell if this was about Glassdoor itself or the people who browse it from work.

I find it interesting that you say that, because my first thought was that this would be a step down from git pulling my dotfiles. All you need is to have a simple script that goes…

Is it still a social engineering hack if a well-known celebrity with their personal info broadcasted all over the internet decides to use that personal info to secure their account…

While I wouldn't disagree with the stupidity of "security questions" answered straight, I don't know if this is something to lay on Apple's doorstep, because anyone with a modicum …

>But if I lost connectivity - my SSH session won't be auto-resumed from local machine in first place, I think thats one of the things `mosh` solves. While true, it just seems (to m…

You only make the initial instantiation once. - SSH to remote - on remote, run "screen" - get disconnected from remote - SSH to remote, .bashrc runs "screen -DR" and you resume fro…

If your workflow doesn't include tmux or screen, then I feel like your problem's already been answered. If you really wanted to, you could just add a "/bin/screen -DR; exit" to you…

Seems oddly backwards to me, but I'm sure I'm not the only one. If I've bought and am paying for a phone that costs a significant fraction of my computer, it seems like a waste not…

It depends on how "reasonably close" they end up coming. If it ends up being a xeno's paradox of issues where it can handle 90% of situations, then 99%, then 99.9%, then 99.99%, et…

It comes down, for me, to more a question of "how much external facetime do you have in your day-to-day job". Shared cultural displays are one thing, but forcing everyone into the …

I still commute occasionally across the bridge. Getting people to zipper merge 4 to 2 lanes properly going onto the bridge almost never happens.

I typically have the best results by being rude. "I'd like to cancel my service." "But why w-" "I'd like to cancel my service." "Buy we co-" "I'd like to cancel my service." It's n…

Unfortunately, "just find another ISP" is no longer an option for plenty of people. I can appreciate the sentiment, but the risk of being kicked off of your local internet mono/duo…

I've always just relied on zsh to deal with my pushd stack automatically. I don't frequently need to pushd (thanks to tmux's vertical splits), but when I do, it's inevitably someth…

Same. I have 4 adapters floating around right now (my laptop, wife's laptop, work-provided laptop and the spare 85 adapter I have kicking around) and none of them have had a single…

>Also it's going to be pretty difficult to prove that he suffered damages from the article. It depends on what the fallout from it is, in terms of internet attention. If he's not "…

Short answer, no. Long answer: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2095060/apple-removes-blockch...
