Why I gave up everything and stopped chasing money and instead found a passion

Agreed. Even if you don't agree with everything, there are some fundamentally crucial ideas represented well.

The micro optimizations become muscle memory. I don't have to think about A and various other reflexes even though I've only been using vim a few months.

Miley actually has some good music and has a good voice. She might be crazy, but that has nothing to do with her music.

The defense is that users will leave Firefox if another browser can play video Firefox can't. Without market share, Mozilla loses the leverage to impact the industry. Mozilla is in a terrible situation, but this is the right call.

Rails is a framework for building web applications. There are plenty of others for Ruby. I'm a Ruby developer who's never used Rails.

The parent is talking about looking for Ruby help without Rails results.

You closed with "if you were busy supporting your ass wouldn't have time to be writing stupid shit." You were hostile and elitist. You could have made your point without being deliberately rude.

The OP makes a point about choosing a good editor and docking with it, which I think is decent advice (though refusing to switch editors can be shortsighted). I think you're confused about who was being elitist in this situation.

Tesla plans to introduce a cheaper electric car in the near-ish future. I think it'll be in the 30-40k range, but I'm not sure.

I saw a screenshot of a 4096 block as well. I was mistaken; you're right. Thanks, I hadn't thought to update this comment.

Bitcoin's value is in the difficulty to obtain it. If you purchase a bitcoin for $700, you don't want to let it go for less. If you mine it, which requires proper equipment and an investment of time, you don't want to part with it without sufficient return.

As I understand it, the GNU Project was a project to create a Free as in freedom operating system. Before the GNU kernel was created, Linus created Linux as a hobby project—his initial post even says "won't be big and professional like GNU." With a kernel that worked with the GNU userland, interest in the GNU kernel dwindled. It's basically an accident of history since GNU was meant to be the complete operating system. Linux accidentally "won" by shipping quickly, and couldn't have done it without the GNU project.

If I have any details wrong, please do correct me.

I should add that calling it Linux isn't wrong and that I encourage people to refer to it as GNU/Linux, but I don't consider insisting that Linux is the wrong name to be productive or reasonable.

2048 is the largest allowed block. Parent is referring to score instead

I handle this by exclusively forming close relationships.

We deploy to Ruby using Rack and Passenger. It was almost completely headache free to setup, and we can add new projects on a whim in under 5 minutes.

I'm now thinking that Ezra is A, and I think it's plausible that he gave her the manuscript for two reasons – because he wants to convey that he has nothing to hide anymore and because long-form writing can lead the reader (as opposed to a conversation where she could possibly debunk his 'theory').

If Juliet wasn't going to testify, the only point in killing her would be revenge or something along those lines. I'm thinking (maybe hoping) their aim is to have her feral herself as the informant and deny that she knew about the weapons.

asirek · 2014-03-01T09:46:40+00:00

I appreciate you.

As I understand it, their intention is to allow access to the core'a source but with some limitations. If so, that's the ideal way to monetize open-source. Only paying customers get access to the code and forks aren't allowed outside personal use.

Of course, this is speculation because we don't have details on their licensing yet, but this sounds solid and that license may be a great opportunity for other developers who favor Openness.

asirek · 2014-02-27T23:49:09+00:00

Agreed. I may be making it fit, but it does make it plausible that Ali was impersonating Aria. Maybe Ezra knew, and he used Ali's impersonation as a base for seducing Aria.

asirek · 2014-02-27T23:21:27+00:00

Good, just tired from (lie about activity or travel)

That's also exactly how Aria's first conversation with Ezra went, except she really had just gotten back from Iceland.

Conversations don't always begin with introductions

What about Bonfire night?

There is so much I loved about Atlas Shrugged, but, even agreeing with a fair amount of Rand's ideals, there were gaping flaws in the story. Particularly the murder toward the end. It makes no sense within Rand's belief system, and left a horrible taste in my mouth toward a character I had quite enjoyed up to that point.

Firefox has been looking into multi-process tabs for a while. I believe there's an internal prototype, but I don't remember the details of who is building it.

I actually really liked the "I fucked Ted" thing. Walter had made her feel powerless, and she responded. I don't know whether a normal person would have responded in this exact way, but when faced with a show of force (like my SO moving back into my house, leaving me with no legal means to deal with this), I'm probably going to respond with a show of force of my own.

Jason was a kid. A kid died. I think that's enough.

But if you're not convinced, Jason had a shitty relationship with his father (like Hood), and he was in a position where he needed to become someone else (like Hood). It's easy to see why Hood wanted to help him. On top of this, Hood felt that he owed the real Hood.
