This is great. BASIC was my first programming language on a TI-92 calculator. It provides an invitation to new would-be programmers to explore writing code. Having it available on Android just opens the door for more people to try.

Speaking with Lyft/Uber drivers myself, I hear there is a difference in culture between riders who choose between the two companies. Uber riders treat their drivers like taxis or "robots," while Lyft riders often converse with a fellow human being, who happens to be driving them around. It just sounds like this guy needs to switch companies.

Pass (http://www.passwordstore.org/) is password manager based on GPG that's been around for longer. It has some more tools available that are built around it and helps organize passwords as well.

In a context where there is an assumption that conversation is a debate, "No, totally" means "no I am not disagreeing with you, you are totally right."

Living in SF now and have been living in California my whole life, I find the dreaded "so, what do you do?" question something that gets asked during a first time encounter when they've run out of interesting things to talk about. No one likes it, but the best way to answer is to talk about how much you enjoy what you do, not so much the details, otherwise the conversation dies very quickly, no matter your place in the "hierarchy."

Android had a hidden feature in certain iterations of Android 4, called "App Ops," that would let you do this but it never made it to prime time. Though Cyanogenmod does leverage it for their "Privacy Guard" feature.

Misleading title. Doing better in school isn't the same as being smarter.

Well you're right. I've been using Inbox for over a week, and I like it. No email clutter, and it matches my flow pretty well.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to disable transparent hugepages without a reboot:

  ># uname -a
  Linux ip-10-214-7-159 3.2.0-36-virtual #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 8 22:04:49 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  ># grep TRANSPARENT /boot/config-3.2.0-36-virtual
  CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y
  # CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS is not set
  CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE=y

  ># echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
  bash: /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled: No such file or directory

I too practice "inbox 0," and making sure I am very diligent about unsubscribing from mailing lists and creating the occasional filter. I am completely content with email, and I feel like this is more for people who never hit the "archive" button. This is why I use stock gmail over Dropbox's Mailbox. And I am afraid that if I start using Google's Inbox, my inbox will just get cluttered and I won't be able to go back.

Don't placebos sometimes result in real physical benefits?

Any idea how placebos work so well, what they are, and if we're doing anything to take advantage of the effect?

This is terrible news, NY Times being one of few news organizations providing quality journalism. Hope they can figure out a way to keep running without degrading their quality.

This still keeps the system version around at /bin/bash
