I don't get it. If you are doing Linux dev - why not just run Linux?

Now we are compiling (sorry transpiling). If we are going to do that why not use e.g. Go?

Correction. No useful cctv footage was apparently available and he was wearing a denim jacket.

The initial claims made about Jean Charles de Menezes included that he ran, he jumped the barrier, he did not buy a ticket, he was wearing a thick jacket. In reality he walked, bought a ticket, used the barrier normally and was wearing a t-shirt. This is visible on the cctv footage.

The author is doing video editing work. The point of the 5k screen is to have a 4k video displayed at 1:1 pixel and controls displayed alongside it. I.e. the author may be part of that small subset of people that actually want 5k in order to do their job.

The BNP was nearly destroyed by their appearance on question time. The more publicity they get the less people like them.

Cool. I'll check this out next time. Any way to report the disappearing dev tools?

FF has for me crashed more times in the last week than in the previous year. - Multiple installs on different Linux systems. The last crash was with a clean profile.

And then there's the disappearing dev tools - that's fun.

EDIT: I hope that there is something weird with my systems. But I fear that the rush to push this out might have been a little hasty.

EDIT EDIT Apart from the crashes the new FF has been nice. I've been able to largely stop using chromium for dev work - so not all is bad.

But many of the electric car owners live in the cities. Here they can drive in the bus lanes and don't pay the road tolls. This makes an electric car an excellent commuter choice.

This is a little outdated.

The more modern theory is that walrus tusk (which was extremely valuable until elephant ivory became available) prices crashed meaning the ships had little reason to travel to Greenland for trade.

I think that this coincided with the Black death which truly devastated the Norwegian population.

The problem with this is that the "security" question will often be asked over the phone. At this point an answer of "Oh I just mash the keyboard for those" is probably going to get an attacker access to your account..

Is Finnish representable in Latin1? If so you might be missing some of the suitabilities of converting from "asci" (most things around Europe weren't asci but latin1) to utf.

Really none of these should be called porn+. They are various forms of abuse imagery and are both crimes and evidence of crimes.

True. It is a nice thing for scientific code though. Often in a field α etc etc have a known meaning by convention and being able to write them as α rather than alpha can really make longer formulas more readable.

Open page. Nothing works. Enable their scripts. First slide shows but nothing works - except the link to the pdf version.

Why not give a link to the pdf version in a
