DallaRosa··on Show HN: My nodejs-supervisor like tool, written in Go
It's not really about being a native speaker. It's really just about getting used the "lingo".

I've seen nodemon before and this is what worried me the most:

"nodemon has three potential methods it uses to look for file changes. First, it polls using the find command to search for files modified within the last second. This method works on systems with a BSD based find (Mac, for example)."

Especially on Mac OSX why would you prefer to use an external command like find instead of using Kqueue? I wonder if find is the right tool for that. And I wonder again why only on BSD-based systems when linux also has find.

Gotta read a bit more about that.

fyi, this is how nodemon is doing file checking:

find -L /dev/null -type f -mtime -1s -print

DallaRosa··on Slackware 14.1 is released
I've passed through a few distributions (Slackware -> Conectiva -> RedHat -> Mandrake -> SuSe -> Debian -> Slackware) till I stuck with Slackware and have been using it for the last 10+ years.

Slackware 3.6, my first distribution was really scary but it's been a few years since I had to do too much of basic configuration by hand. Of course some stuff took me sometime but right now I can use the touchscreen on my laptop, listen to music using my bluetooth headphones, use the HDMI to show video and play audio with THAT much work. <ad> If you need some tips checkout my blog http://dallarosa.tumblr.com </ad>

For the people complaining about Slackware's package system: I don't what's people's problem with dependency management. Doing everything from existing packages is great while packages exist. When you're out in the wild and can't have proper packages You'll see all kinds of weird stuff. The most interesting problem I had was Debian trying to uninstall the kernel and all basic libs cause I was trying to install a newer version of Qt.

For those calling Slack users arrogant: I think we can talk about arrogant people in any area. But as someone already mentioned, if you take a look at LinuxQuestions, you'll see that people have been nice for the last 10 years or more. I never had a question been answered with arrogance or bad manners. Most people were very helpful.

Slackware is a great distribution and I intend to keep using it for as long as I use a computer :)

DallaRosa··on Why I Was Fired From a Tech Startup and What My Boss Had to Say About It
More than the article itself, it's amazing how much prejudice people have, especially related to skin color. The guy can say "faggot" but if he says "nigger" you have a bunch of people saying how bad it is to use the "n" word. Oh come on. What he meant is as clear as water.

People should grow up and realize that by doing that they're just stigmatizing the object of prejudice even more.

DallaRosa··on BlaBlaMeter detects how much bullshit is in your text
You wrote a lot of bullshit but your text looks pretty normal from a vocabulary standard. looking a bit more to the website you'll see that what it calls bullshit english is that pattern often used in scientific articles or law texts (and president speeches) where they seem to be saying a lot of really wow stuff but all you're really left in the end as a big "?" cause you couldn't get half of what the person said.
DallaRosa··on BlaBlaMeter detects how much bullshit is in your text
I'll withstand my statement: model based on a corpus of PR, scholar, licenses and the like texts. If they are into real statistical NLP.

Or just esthetic rules + word dictionary.

DallaRosa··on BlaBlaMeter detects how much bullshit is in your text
I'd guess so. Or maybe they compiled a corpus of bullshit text (scientific articles, PR and political texts), created a little statistical model and are using that to check the level of bullshit of your text.
DallaRosa··on The Silent Majority: Why Visual Basic 6 Still Thrives
I've been trying to find a way to put in proper words why PHP is still this big in webdev and this article just gave me the explanation I was looking for all this time.
DallaRosa··on Yahoo sells 1/2 its Alibaba stake for $7.1B
You forgot about the pretty high valued shares they have from Yahoo Japan.
DallaRosa··on Yahoo sells 1/2 its Alibaba stake for $7.1B
If they are to keep the asian assets, they may as well become an investment bank because right now, asset management is the only thing that seems to be working for them. If they still wanna be a technology company they really have to get rid of the stuff that's getting in the way of them doing what they're really supposed to do, which is tech.
DallaRosa··on What If Your Emails Never Went to Gmail and Twitter Couldn't See Your Tweets?
"Email that sits in the cloud -- like Gmail -- could be edited by the sender even after its been received. Tweets could change on a tweeter's whim."

I guess if this really becomes standard you'd never be able to use an email conversation as evidence in a court.

What I can't get is the need to translate the Java code to Python. Ideas, anyone?
DallaRosa··on Nvidia Is Joining The Linux Foundation
I'm just saying that out of my own experience. I found a bug in their driver with kernel 2.6.37 and I wrote a patch and sent them. The answer I got was: "Our internal version works properly with 2.6.37 but we haven't had enough complaints to make releasing this patch necessary" (ok, those weren't the exact words but that was the meaning of it). So I learned not to expect much of them.
DallaRosa··on Nvidia Is Joining The Linux Foundation
I wonder if this is gonna be just like Broadcom joining the Linux Foundation...

(for those that didn't get it, I meant "nothing at all")

DallaRosa··on Build android apps from your Android device
I've tried it with the soft keyboard and it worked pretty good, specially because of the auto-completion feature.
DallaRosa··on GitHub and Rails: You have let us all down.
From 3 days ago:

"What I want you to see in that thread I mentioned is the way the core team perceives this. You are not discovering anything unknown, we already know this stuff and we like attr protection to work the way it is."

(https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/5228#issuecomment-4292...)

After reading for how long he tried to bring attention to this and only got a top guy to say that kind of stuff. The guy who hacked is not right in any way but I don't even have words to describe the person who wrote the above line.
