Interesting project and congratulations. Seems like a simpler version of scssphp (and associated WP plugins based on it).

Loads of us use nano. Simple light editor without the overhead (read learning curve), of all the other big editors. Sure, I might not write code in it, but when I need to edit a co…

This looks incredibly interesting. Open source, and pluggable too? Nice!

Ran into this problem a couple of months ago. Could not figure out why Docker would not install on a stock 14.04 bare metal server from OVH. Turns out it was their custom kernel. W…

With email, you want simple, turnkey, and ideally self service. Free:: http://modoboa.org/en/ http://www.iredmail.org/ ... also has paid version Paid:: http://www.afterlogic.com/ma…

Prenups are strange in that those who are mature enough to get them, probably don't need them, and those who aren't, do need them. If I had my way, prenups would be a mandatory req…

Document the vulnerability. Document your attempts to contact the bank. Contact your local[1] newspaper. Particularly one that is big on investigative journalism, and technology. A…

Use Adaway .. https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway It blocks at the Hosts file level.

Sentences like this exist in other languages too. My mother tongue is Shona, and this would be a grammatically correct sentence. Vana vana, vana vana vana, vana vana vana vana. Tra…

But Azer was right on the money. A request, by definition requires a binary response. A polite request, by definition, means that you can live (however badly) with either a Yay, or…

>>They are trying to protect US citizens from losing their jobs (or getting wages cut) due to a sudden availability of cheap labor. Mmmm. I hear you. Sort of. Your argument though,…

Can someone please remind me again why USians should have a god given right to jobs in the US? Or put another way ... should an accident of birth(place) be the most import decider …

I have been following this project, and it makes so much more sense to me. As another poster mentioned, going all the way down to the bare metal does not make sense to me. Or maybe…

Almost reminds me of the Lingua Latina method I used to learn Latin. You basically read a text that is totally in Latin, with occasional images to guide you. It starts off very sim…

The Sherlock Holmes Museum is not located at 221b Baker Street. That address does not exist, but any mail addressed to it is redirected to the Museum, which is technically 239 Bake…

I agree. Python 3 will not see significant uptake till it is the default on most distros. It is the usual chicken and egg problem. Distros won't upgrade if there is no reason to. I…

Ahh, I forgot to add the 'solution'. The 'sex' bit, will be marrying google search results with other sources, and breeding a search ranking algorithm specific to you. For example,…

I have been thinking a lot about this problem. If indeed it is a problem. Google is in the business of serving ads. The vast majority of those spammy sites display google ads. So, …

As a Zimbabwean myself, I would have to say that most of the posters here totally missed the point of the site. The site was not a critique of quantitative easing. It is a commenta…

I wish I could upvote this more than once. I have been screaming for a long time, that the housing boom and subsequent bust were directly caused by government action. Thomas Sowell…

This is really bad maths. Imagine diagonal of X cm. Imagine screen so tall and thin, that diagonal approaches vertical. Area is tiny. As you swing same diagonal downwards, area inc…

Another useful method of opinion getting I have found to be useful, is to directly beg/ask for criticism. "Please tell me all the bad things you can think about this idea." "Please…

My biggest problem with most of the "I just need $1m" people I have met is twofold. One, most of them would have no idea how to use that million in a sustainable way. Take a look a…

I think it is a combination of many things. a. The curious will always learn. Books have been around for a long time. In the west, the books are cheap/affordable. Still you find ma…
