I feel rude even saying this because I like the work you guys do and don't want to bum this person out, but I had to stop listening to the ones with Johnny. He seems to just wax poetically so often. I'm sure hes super nice, but it feels like he talks for the majority of the episode instead of letting the guests and other hosts speak. Every time he has a thought you know your in for a 3 minute spiel.

Sorry, Johnny! It's probably just me.

> Really, I don't understand how this is news. It's what was going to happen, everyone with half a brain has known that since facebook started being a thing

Just because something isn't a surprise to you, doesn't mean its not news. I know that wild fires will inevitably happen, but I'm happy that they are reported on the news.

> So how is it that there are still people who apparently care that this happens?

So how is it that there are still people who apparently don't realize that the 2B+ users of facebook don't know everything they know.

Sorry it came off that way. I'll keep that in mind next time I comment.

erikb, I'm not writing this to be rude, but I am hoping it can change your perspective a little. Every sentence in your reply is so negative. You almost certainly won't get something you want if you think it's impossible. It means you wont bother trying. You have an excuse for everything. Its completely possible. I've worked for a large company for 2 years and made it happen. I know plenty of other people that do it as well.

The attitude in your comment was such a bummer I had to log in for the first time in years just to respond. Try to be more positive and go after what you want. Have a good rest of the weekend.

I'm struggling to not sound rude, but that's the whole point of the submission. He was surprised, you're surprised, I'm surprised, everyone here is surprised. Facebook was so surprised that they gave him money.

> It definitely needs some background, cue from /r/apple might be a good idea.

Please, please no. Its fine the way it is.

What is the tool you are using for the responsive testing? http://dun4nx4d6jyre.cloudfront.net/assets/toolb-xreponsive....

I've been using a mediocre plugin for chrome to do this testing but its flaky. That looks like exactly what I want.

Actually OpenBSD does have nearly flawless documentation.

It has other issues but documentation isnt one of them.

Excuse my ignorance, but why would that change all the instances in this case? I don't understand. Would you mind explaining more?

"I have found the policy of installing all updates when first setting up a Windows server and then never touching it again to work quite well."

I think you need to reevaluate your policies immediately. Not applying security patching isn't a good policy.

    "Why do I, the guy who barely knows emacs, have to whine?"
Because once you know emacs, you stop whining about it and start using it.

You sound mad because all these people are using emacs and you just don't understand it yet or something. Spend time, learn emacs or vim and then you will understand.

It is ridiculous for you to rant on something you obviously don't understand or recognize the power it possesses.

Emacs and Vim have been around forever. There is a reason.

Magit is probably my favorite piece of software. It's truly epic. It alone would keep me from ever switching to something else. Although emacs has plenty of other things to keep me around.

This is false. It's a preference you can toggle in the Security settings.

I'm not trying to get you to use Flask or anything. But I definitely find it interesting that you have "read through the documentation or researched extensively" but were unable to find `add_url_rule`.

Either way, I'm glad we have selection and choice. At least we both like python! Peace
