Parent commenter was saying that if the MPAA hate Google, MPAA-members shouldn't be using Google, not that Google should cut off MPAA/MPAA-members.

Ah, that makes more sense. The wonders of pronouns.

Good talk. I enjoyed the fact that she put up both a voice recording and a text version with images. I listened and followed along.

Thanks for saving me the time of reading the essays.

If all it takes to make you not read something is one negative review, you probably never read anything.

It's worrisome that they're not reading the essays based on this specific post. These could all be OP's opinions and I wouldn't know because the post doesn't back up any of its points with data. Just a few dismissive quips about thousand word essays.

I hadn't heard the word infirm before so I looked it up. It seems to me that it does not mean what you think it means. Thought you might want to know that. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/infirm

It's a mistake French (Latin?) speakers (myself included) often make: https://translate.google.com/m/translate#fr/en/infirmer

The first video was sort of easy -- I saw the person who fell off their floatation device and I kept looking just at that person until the lifeguard blew their whistle and jumped in and saved them. The real question, though, is not did I spot them. As the text mentioned, half of children drown while someone is watching. I do not have children but if I were responsible for that child (either as a parent or otherwise), would I have jumped in and saved them? Maybe not, maybe I would have just been standing there wondering "do they need my help or not". I haven't thought much about this before but after being confronted with the facts by this site, I have decided that it is better to act immediately when there's a possibility that a person is drowning and save them even when they don't need saving than it is to hesitate and wonder whether they need help.

They should do a kickstarter and then they can use the money to have more time to develop the game or to hire people as good as they are looking for.

I wonder how much would it cost to get sort out all the issues? From the look of it, I am wondering whether the architectural and management debt would make the cost unreasonably high.

There's nothing broken about that. If you want to do full text search, do `man -K` instead of `man -k`. E.g.

    man -K MANOPT

Works for me on Ubuntu 14.04, though slowly so and I still have to ask the pager to search for it within the manpage which is opened. Because of this, I read the manpages when I know where to find what I'm looking for but otherwise just Google.

A far more severe problem IMO is the fact that many Linux distros ship without manpages in their default installs.

Between this (yes, I know it's 3rd party) and the support for JSON, PostgreSQL seems to be eating into the market of the NoSQL databases every day. I like that. I like that because the fewer new things I must learn, the more time I can spend on the things I find interesting.

That is entirely on purpose, too.

Tell me about your devolution. (He said to ask him to in his profile.)

It's really going quite swimmingly! Thanks for asking.

The entire library in the name of the library? Crazy! How would you input that on the computer when you wanted to reference it, though?

Even when reading code you wrote yourself, long variable names can be immensely helpful.

I was working on some code today which I wrote a couple of months ago and came across some fields in a struct I had made, two of the fields were named like something_d_foo and something_d_bar (with something, foo and bar being strings which I've replaced in this comment). These names describe a relationship of something to foo and bar. When I read the name I had given it, I thought these were the somethings DISCONNECTED from their foos and bars but a comment I had written beside each of them informed me that they were the DEFAULT somethings of the foos and bars. I promptly renamed the fields as something_default_foo and something_default_bar.
