@MichaelHomer I don't know if it could be something, but the 1st of may and the 8th of may (being a non worked day in a lot of European country) are Wednesday I guess a lot of persons took small time of during this time of the year.
But there are lots of close votes I know absolutely nothing about, so I press "skip" on those instead of blindly following the lead stallion in the herd.
@Fabby I know you're not calling us horses asses :) after all, if it wasn't for us professional close reviewers, we'd never gone to the moon! (Outlandish claim of the day #1)
@JeffSchaller :D :D :D I always tell customers: If you want me to take you to the moon, give me a Saturn-5 or the budget to make one.
And it they don't get that bit, I follow up with: Even for the budget of a Ferrari, I cannot get you to the moon: just speed you around on this planet more rapidly...
It helps that my close votes clear the item out. One of them was already at 4 close-votes, though. Not sure if my leave-open vote clear it also, though.
The logic of Socratic and Legendary badges is similar:
Socratic is given for 100 good asking days
Legendary is given for 150 good rep-harvesting days
But Socratic can be awarded multiple times, while Legendary cannot. I propose that Legendary should be a multiple-award badge too:
For consi...
@StephenKitt It's in the mail... I suggest you get into the habit of smelling your packages before you open them!
You become a Legend once, and you will stay Legend forever. That's why it is called Legendary. That's why it should be awarded only once. — TomasNov 29 '14 at 17:32
Speaking of mail, I scheduled a FedEx delivery for Monday, they phoned this morning to say they’d be delivering it today, but it looks like they’re not. Ho hum.
I heard something at the RH summit that surprised me -- Amazon delivering packages before you order them! Presumably in the hopes that you'll avoid the trouble of returning it -- and thus, paying for it (I guess!?!)
(Meaning, pay for the delivered package, I assume)
@StephenKitt I feared the worst when I saw a session-like string in the URL. The summit was interesting; fun seeing CEO's from RH, IBM, and Microsoft sharing the stage. really heavy tones of "open source" coming from the RH leadership, which seemed to me to be a signal/hint to IBM. And Boston is still an amazing city -- so much history (he says to an audience living in older countries!)
@JeffSchaller ha ha, yes, there have been people settled where I live for over 8,000 years
Had you been to previous Summits? The “open source” message tends to be pushed an awful lot at all Summits, I’m curious if it was even more present this year than in the past...
@StephenKitt and I get all excited seeing gravestones with 16xx on them!
@StephenKitt I went to 2017's as well. The "Open" message seemed much more prevalent this time. I mean, yes, the company is founded on it, but every other sentence was open this or open that.
Well, I've been recommending the Bell & Bones tour at King's Chapel ever since I did it. If you like history, anyway. Quite the place, straddling lots of historical divides.
@JeffSchaller yes, he’s very charismatic, which is a virtuous feedback loop (from his point of view) since it encourages people to work hard helping him prepare great demos
I am pretty new in this ubuntu domain so please be gentle :o)
I wanted to remove my 'write' app, so I found this on a site:
To remove a package type:
sudo apt-get remove [package_name]
So I typed:
sudo apt-get remove [write]
And afterwards I agreed on the prompt: 'yes, do what I say!' or so...
@FaheemMitha if you don’t have a file named w, r, i, t or e, apt-get remove [write] is run as-is; but if you do, it’s run as apt-get remove w or whatever file you have...
Every couple years, I leave the home radius. Listen, I'd love to chat, but these passengers are getting rowdy. They've unfastened their seat belts and are holding the oxygen tubings around my neck
grumble Debian cronolog builds from source, technically. Just barely. I'd send a patch (well, a bunch) except I just hit it with a hammer until it worked. And it seems its been unmaintained since, errr, debhelper 8 was current.
@Jesse_b Here they have both in with the olives (stored at room temperature in acidified brine) and with the produce (refrigerated). Really fairly different products...
@terdon I think they are just holding it with their hand, biting the tip off to get it started, and then rubbing it on their toes to peel the skins off
There are only short grainy clips of it in the documentary I saw but there are definitely lines of prisoners sitting in a filthy room barefoot peeling garlic
@terdon Mostly us vimites (or is that vimers? No idea) leave you alone with your emacs. And stare in horror and some amazement at the contortions required to use it.
Huh, I used Wolframalpha to calculate the number of tablespoons in a decilitre (6.7, if anyone is interested), and it also told me that 1 dl happens to be 1.6 times the volume of an Apple iPhone 4. Thanks.
@derobert Debian packaging often seems quite poor at cleaning sources. They could just put the source under version control to make sure it's all cleaned. Though of course that may not help if it gets interrupted during the build.
@Jesse_b Though don't make American flags outside the US?
I also remember reading about this a while back - prisonblues.net
> Their main goal was to significantly reduce the burden of incarceration costs on taxpayers. Prison Blues gives inmates the ability to earn a prevailing industry wage while paying for their own incarceration costs and other payments.
