For me shift + 2 gives 2
Yeah... -
@linuxxx I think those kind of people don't use IE7 anyways
-
FreeBSD claims to only have had 2 security problems in it's lifetime.
-
@CWins well, it's still crappy policy. Especially if you consider that they don't really need you to subscribe, they already have enough money and fame.

@beleg apparently Microsoft surface are good tablet-PCs (I heard you can get Ubuntu to work on them), maybe some convertible laptops are good, and then you swap out the base for your keyboard + extra battery
-
@filthyranter normally I'd use ranger, but I wanted to use MTP, and Nautilus can automatically Mount it.
-
@beleg you tell me :P I'm wondering the same thing.
-
How about a tablet and a standard PC USB/Bluetooth keyboard

When you skip QA to meet the deadline...

Currently using Rust, but used to do js, Ruby, Python, Java, ...

*Sets unlock screen to use vim keybindings, but it doesn't start in insert mode*
Thinking about this, would vim be a good lock screen? 'Exit vim to unlock your computer' -
Maybe I should do somehing like this too
-
@irene If there is pom of it, there's an non package of it.
-
@harrizsb Mainly the safety and the zero cost abstractions, but also the package manager and build system.
-
@DeusExRant are those 10 h delays for daily commute trains? Most people take the NMBS to go to work/school, and 10 hrs would be enough to all the way from start to end and back on most lines. A 10hr delay would be like a plane arriving a week late.

@hereiskkb unless you have to port/wrap a lot of external code, yes.
-
Elementary OS claims to be very fast, but your mileage may vary™.
-
I don't think we'd be able to find enough materials to pull this off, the universe is mostly empty.
-
@RealKC at least it wasn't Windows ME

I'd recommend Rust, it's like C, but it learns you memory management without many of the hassles like double deallocation, dereferencing null pointers, …
IMO it is also has an easier build system, and a package mannager.
Some other features that rust hs in common with higher-level languages that you don't find in C: destructuring variables, most things are an expression, implicit return, and maybe the best: Unicode support.
You will fight the borrow checker at first and struggle with the functional nature of the language, but if you work yourself through the book you should be fine. -
For anybody who's interested: LO is adding the office 07/10/13/16 look in some upcoming version, until then you can try it out in the beta version.
-
But I mean, what books do you read?
Me: I've read both the Rust books, … -
@linuxxx I've never heard anybody say 'appen' before where I live, maybe time to move south? (Of the border, IYKWIM)
We still Google though. -
@nbamaral Because I hope they can't read it if it's encrypted
-
@simo002m Kali is debian-based, isn't that good enough?
-
@Linux it also has some other configuration tweaks, like the default user is root, most startup daemons are disabled, and the live usb has a forensic mode that does some stealthy stuff, like not using swap
-
@naktop3031 What do you mean?
Hardware? It's using llvm ir, and thus supports x86, arm, ... There are even some kernels written in rust.
Other languages? There is ffi for most scripting languages, and there's also generic c interoperability, if that's your thing. (No direct C++ interoperability yet though)
IDE? I recommend atom or Vs code, both support code completion, and Vs code even has inline documentation (if you install the right extensions).
Packages? http://crates.io has most of them, and cargo is an excellent package manager. http://docs.rs is an automated library of all the package documentation. -
How about rust? It'll teach you memory hygiene, has real good documentation (I 💓 the second edition of the book), and it requires very little setup to get the build system running.
-
@linuxxx sure, but it seems they regretted it, and now they run some weird hybrid system. You're right that it has nothing to do with this tho.
-
@linuxxx in one web application, there was plain xss in the messaging system, it had a send-all feature. 😕😲
The only thing holding me back was client-side validation in the tinyMCE editor. They used a plaintext editor in their app, leading me to discover this bug.
Guess I should never use PHP.
(I reported it ofc)
