OH NOES! Google knows what webcomics I like! I don't give a shit if Google has my data. I like my sites syncing between all the different devices I use.
Yeah, I didn't get into it much but the Anniversary Edition's WSL wasn't quite good enough. Couldn't run Windows commands from within WSL, couldn't access ifconfig or run a few different node programs, stuff like that. I've upgraded the WSL distro and I'm going to see if it works better.
The only thing in this update that I'm at all interested in is the Windows Subsystem for Linux. I'm kind of stuck with Windows on my work laptop and it's not terribly easy to do web development in any CMS that uses a LAMP stack. If the WSL works well enough it could replicate the Linux experience and make it less of a hassle. It also has Ubuntu 16.0.4 so that's a decent upgrade. I'm going to try it out on my one Win10 desktop at home to see if it'll run all the tools I need.
(But I'll still probably end up using my Linux desktop at home because it just works.)
is wrong with the comments section. We installed cameras around the house and ran the cables through the attic to the DVR in our closet. Houses in the neighborhood have been broken into and a car was stolen two doors down. We hope that having the cameras will deter crime and if they don't, we'll at least have footage. Our neighbor has a camera and it was very useful in catching some kids that burned down a bush in front of our house.
What the fuck is up with the kneejerk reaction to an article that is just suggesting that you try to get the bad guy's faces rather than the top of their heads? That sounds like good advice.
I've always found stuff like this interesting but I never thought of actually playing Minecraft until my kid did and now I'm a bit addicted to adventure mode. He's building things like cruise ships and I'm playing the actual game getting creeped out by the zombies and darkness.
I don't understand pointers. I mean, I read about them about 15 years ago when I was playing with C and C++ For Dummies but I don't feel like I understand them enough. I also pretty much deal with Javascript when I code and I use JQuery instead of vanilla javascript as well. Does that mean I'm just a shitty scripter?
I mean, I never even went to a bootcamp so I probably know less about scripting than the graduates of said camps even though I've been doing web shit for a few years now. Am I worthless? What if I told you I troubleshoot other people's code and optimize it for them? What if I said I can get shit to work in Internet Explorer when other people can't? Or that I'm building a shopping website now for a decently large company and that I'm stuck using SharePoint 2013 to do it due to management's decisions? Am I still shitty?
Maybe people in bootcamps aren't all Ruby bros. I have a self-development goal that I have to meet and I might consider some BS like a bootcamp if I can't just claim all the on the job learning I do. Maybe people who know something about the web or coding take these bootcamps because they want to learn the language better. It seems elitist to call anybody who takes those classes a shitty scripter or a dumbass kid. I'm definitely not a kid and I don't think I'm terribly shitty. I think I come up with novel solutions that work.
We have Medisoft running in Windows XP Mode under Windows 7 right now. It works like a champ. It's only compatible with XP so we waited a long time to upgrade but we finally did it with a virtual machine and Windows 7.
Android likely has a bigger install base than any Linux distro out there. It's extremely successful. Also, Linus decides what goes into the kernel. The rest of the OS isn't under his control but he does get to ultimately decide what goes in the kernel.
I don't think the desktop is terribly important now that mobile and tablets have exploded. The desktop isn't growing anymore. The notebook is taking over that market and tablets and smartphones are expanding like crazy. The Linux kernel owns those markets. Why give a fuck about the desktop anymore?
This is not what the campaign did. This is simple micro targeting. The campaign A/B tested appeals to voters, focused on GOTV, bought their ads intelligently (targeting tv shows their demographic watched, etc. They made sophisticated use of the Web and built many of their tools in-house.
It's not the media's fault. It's the "first past the post" voting system that's in place all the way from the bottom to the top. That's why there are two dominant parties. Until that's changed votes for a third party cannabalize votes that would go to one of the major party candidates and hurt their chances to be elected (see Gore, Al).
It's because of what he offers in addition to the model. The color commentary, explanation of why things change from day to day and analysis of individual polling firms after the fact. I was paying attention to him from the start (2008 primaries on Daily Kos) and he does a great job of explaining things to the layman.
This was the case in 2010. Many progressive blogs thought the turnout numbers would be much more Democratic than they were because party ID changed so much in two years. You have to trust the poll aggregates and I believe they have learned their lesson since. Let's see if the Republican pundits and publications do the same or if they declare 2014 a sea change and the beginning of a Republican ascendency just because typically Democratice constituencies don't turn out like Republican constituencies in off-years.
Voting early is awesome in Texas and especially Travis county. We really want people to vote around here. You can vote in any of the locations for weeks ahead of the election.
You mean like how Ford and Mazda worked together on engine design? Or how they collaborated with Audi? The Mazda 3, Focus, and S40 shared the same platform.
I don't think it's quite so much a problem for the "computer illiterate" as it is for power users who use computers quite often. I want a crap load of windows open and accessible via the taskbar. I want my normal icons and crap. I want to arrange more than three windows on a screen and to use multiple monitors easily. Windows 8 annoys me and I'm not a fan of it so I'll just hoard Win7 licenses.
So on Slashdot of 2011, being a company that builds you software based on open source software and open sourcing every part of your software (even the parts you aren't obligated to) gets you no credit. Slashdot really was all about open source back in my day. What the fuck happened during the last few years to make Slashdot such a shit hole of trolls?

I thought it was Microshaft.
Maybe they'll start doing LTS releases.

This issue was discussed on /r/linux two days ago and it was fixed yesterday.

You can just stick with Windows 7 for a long ass time. I don't have any plans to move away from it since it works fine with any hardware out there.

Today I learned that old people and poor people don't use snail mail. Thanks for the lesson.

Unfortunately for them they won't be donig either.

Really, what was your point again?
I don't think it's quite so much a problem for the "computer illiterate" as it is for power users who use computers quite often. I want a crap load of windows open and accessible via the taskbar.

Your argument is invalid.
Or "Butterfly Effect" to see how your brain changed when you travel into the past.
