Python is probably the language that popularized them, if not invented them. They’re saying the team doesn’t like using them.

My take is that other than C++, where it’s reasonable, forbidden language features are a smell for the team not having a healthy understanding of the language

I think some distros disable using RSA by default. Might need to use it explicitly.

Original grep was pretty much a wrapper around sed (or actually maybe ed, I don’t remember). That’s why it’s called g/re/p, which is the sed command to do the same thing.

I don’t know if it’s that cut and dry. If you study a Operative Systems class or buy a book about them, it’ll exclusively deal with the kernel.

Are reading what you write? It’s linux so it isn’t?

I don’t get this comment. Gnome is not trying to make a walled garden, and Microsoft has taken every chance they get at making walled gardens (Windows phone, windows 8 arm, various proprietary file formats and protocols), they just haven’t been very successful at it.

Yeah, they’re mostly bits of hardware that turn ttl/serial into a USB device. Then you can use minicom or dterm to connect to the host. Mostly used for embedded development, but also useful for debugging servers that are not connecting to the network without having to lug a keyboard and screen.

After they’re connected, if they speak vt110, your terminal emulator can display everything properly

Or by using gnu style options on potentially bsd tar

I mean, I never do that without downloading the script and reading it. I also read makepkg files. It doesn’t take that much to validate these things

The fsf also thinks it should be a different license apparently, given that gplv3 doesn’t force you to distribute source to users of a server, but agpl does.

Although to be fair it.migjt have more fondo with the concept not being very well tested.

tz offset is really not enough. You’d need to save the time zone id and/or offset, to have you library calculate deviations such as daylight savings.

Even that, that would break if the user moves and now what they setup is using their previous timezone.

Basically, I’m saying that storing the offset works most of the time, but not all of the time.

It depends. If something needs to happen in local time (like, always at the same time regardless of daylights savings for example) you should be storing times in local timezone

HTML is not even a tree (XHTML is. XML is a type 2 grammar). SGML languages like HTML are more similar to Tree-adjoining grammars.

For example <b>This<i>is perfectly</b>valid</i> html.

But it did get a UI overhaul a few years back. Seems good enough

I mean Blade Runner did do it first, as well as Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep. (But Johny Mnemonic was at it before Blade Runner)

The sprawl trilogy does have a good enough and unique plot besides all of the groundbreaking cyberspace stuff

Yeah, and ide only supported 4 drives at a time in most systems

What? Using uuids is the solution to having to change the file (that, or stable name rules). You can also use labels if you want to.

Under this definition, using mspaint is programming

If it’s a verb it should be a button, not a toggle

Yeah, I really liked the feel of the Pixel 3. Turns out that to make a plastic coat not feel cheap all you have to do is to not use cheap plastic
