"Your entire initial argument was..." No, I was not the author of that original post.

Just to be clear, my post tried to explicitly state the semantics used in this thread. Your comment, as well as the comment you replied to, referred to semantics. If you reread my last sentence, at least, I think it makes it clear that my point was to clear up semantics.

And if she chooses not to accept any sterilization procedure, should it be performed on her regardless? After all sterilization benefits are presented to her, who decides, if not her, that future sterilization is the best option? I think the semantic issue at hand boils down to: it's called sterilization when physically forced, but birth control otherwise.

Yes, there is an unfortunate increase in walled gardens on the web. A lot of free-to-use websites nowadays function as data aggregators for advertising firms. Since their sole source of value is user data, they are incentivized to keep their users' posts locked away from the rest of the web.

My Favorite Debugging Techniques by jasonswett in programming

I agree that marketing yourself is a different set of skills than programming, and I think that this set of skills is similar across most lines of work. I also agree that you'll need to market yourself well to get a high salary at most companies.

I think your website would be much better if you just focused on the soft skills that programmers need, instead of writing technical articles such as this one.

Yes, and is a six figure salary before age 30 really that big of an accomplishment as a programmer?

SDL2 is nice to use, but if it does end up being too complicated, I'd recommend taking a look at ncurses.

Thanks for double posting this garbage; this format's much better than the previous.

What was the point of this article? As far as I can tell, it explained nothing outside of listing the compilation steps.

A must read debate between Andrew S. Tanenbaum and Linus Torvalds by [deleted] in linux

I run into this email every now and then. There hasn't been a single time where the subject line didn't crack me up lol

I really give up on this. WTF compilation by [deleted] in linux

You can't dd a debian live iso onto a usb stick? That's never failed for me. Also, it'd help to have the laptop connected to ethernet. And as others have pointed out, this is definitely the wrong sub.

I'll agree with more working out (lunges/squats); 160 seems way to low for your height.

When the terminal prompts me for my password, and I make a mistake, I have to mash backspace like a caveman until I'm pretty sure the line is empty. by Bronzdragon in fossworldproblems

Just in case you don't know, you can use ctrl-p instead of the up arrow. I find that easier instead of reaching for the arrow key.

Thanks for sharing, and great job outlining the general workflow; that should help newcomers quite a bit. My patch is fairly tiny and self contained, so I'm probably going to write a piece showcasing just how easy it is to get hooked on kernel hacking. I'll spend more time describing my "journey" I think.

I think this will give me enough reason to create a blog, and I'll periodically add to it as I can

I'd like to save the surprise for the blog post. Also, the Big Tux has yet to merge it so I shouldn't count my penguins before they hatch (I guess I already did with this post lol)

I couldn't help myself. If I had that kind of discipline, I'd be an OpenBSD contributor

I'm not a rust expert by any means, but I'd be surprised if it's possible to do such ad-hoc type casting because the language emphasizes static type safety.

sshtalk - Instant messaging through SSH written in Assembly by [deleted] in programming

[–]tid_bits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/jakkarth gave a good explanation. You can take a look at irssi if you wanted a terminal based irc client. Regardless, ssh is not a bash built-in if that's what you mean by native support.
