Maybe I'm confused but on my Debian system this works _exactly_ as expected. Yes /etc/motd is a symlink to /var/run/motd and removing said symlink, or replacing it with something causes either the new message to show or there to be no motd. Is the author just confusing Debian and Ubuntu or am I missing something? Why do people keep doing this? Just because Ubuntu behaves in a specific way does not mean that Debian behaves the same.
I agree. Rewriting public history causes lightening to fall from the sky and strike you down. Also everyone then hates you. This is what I've had problems with Git UI's the in past... They try to make git easier and as a result tend to hide, or gloss over, very important details. Rewriting history is a non-trivial thing to do and should be done with the utmost care.
Hrm. I was trying to make a point about confusing Github with FOSS which greatly predates it. These days it seem to be becoming a more common mistake to make. I guess I didn't do that very well.
I think it's important in this situations to not confuse Computer Science with what we, as "software engineers" or "applications developers" or "programmers", do for 99.9% of our day. For most of us, what we do is as much Computer Science as the use of a protractor is geometry.
I have no problem paying with my time. I just wish they would have me pay with my time by listening to stuff I don't despise with a passion normally reserved for Hell and all Montagues.
Irrelevant, irritating, LOUD ads played in between movements of a single piece that are tied together. It's really irritating to be listening to something and have Spotify suddenly SCREAM at me the lyrics to some country song about taking my clothes off that I would NEVER be interested in, which Spotify would know if they could be bothered to look at my listening history, or even my last.fm account, both of which they can see. That said, I still use it to listen to music I haven't yet purchased.
"Even if they don’t care about accessibility, my responsibility is to make the website somewhat accessible." I'm unclear on who the legal requirements for accessibility fall on exactly so I may not understand properly... but I'd think this is a legal requirement to make your website accessible (at least in the US under Section... 508?)
I've since given up hoping people will stop thinking that tiny, tiny fonts are awesome. Cause I guess nothing makes the article you wrote more awesome than making it impossible for humans to read. Readability, ftw. http://www.readability.com/
I use a pomodoro timer to prevent breaks from lasting too long or being too infrequent. (It's important to rest your eyes!) I like this idea though, it would be less, irritating to have your break end when you're in the middle of a doodle than when you're in the middle of an article.
I'd think that would be an issue to. In this case the guy wasn't trying to deceive him really, but if he had been what good is a "reference" from some guys buddy at the "awesome sause corp"
Does anyone know if these videos will be available after the courses are over? I'm in the ai class and I'd like to do the others too but I don't have the time to do all of them.
You mean, why is modal special? Vim has multiple modes to make it easier to perform certain sets of operations. The commands for insertion of text are separated from the command for manipulating the text. It's been years since I've used vim but it certainly does make aspects of a keyboard driven editor easier on the hands than emacs does.
To be honest, it's most likely someone making a mistake or equipment failure or something. We'll just have to wait and see if someone else can replicate it.
That's really all there was to it. It was about... 2 years ago? I forget what exactly was broken about the packages. But the bug was from upstream and was known to the Arch Devs at the time they OKd the package built upon broken sources to roll out. It got pulled in by just updating the system. I asked what was going on and got directed to a message about it that I didn't fully understand and when I asked, I was told what I said above. As were many other users confused about the sudden breakage of X.
That wasn't really the first time I'd encountered ultra rude devs. I shortly after switched to Gentoo which I found to give the deep control that Arch did but amazingly was a system that worked properly and the community wasn't full of jerks. Hopefully the Arch community has changed, but I don't really intend to try and find out.
That is exactly why I love DDG. I almost never get spam, but the fact that you want to make it even better is so awesome. Seriously, DDG's killer feature is a founder interacts with the users.
