The recommendations are utter horseshit. Again, empiricism and anecdotes don't always line up, but I have visited many of the countries of the Arab world, lived in one and currently live in another, visited Israel, visited Iran (not t

People who lost their passport due to Israel or Arab country concerns are idiots. The warnings from travelers, both from the past and probably traveling with you or you would bump into are numerous. Israel is very well aware of this, and

Many people see them sitting in a similar space, but all things considered Rust's goal is safety, well Nimrod is more interested in metaprogramming and other features that take precedence over safety. All in all, I have looked into Nim

More strong work from the inner circle of Rust devs. Cool work Chris!

Friend convinced me to read it years ago. I found it very different from what I (and others who read more) say about Russian lit. It was very hard for me to even piece all together. Very good recommendation. I second it!

So in your nerd info section (I would prefer something more professionally named), are you referring to this JS library? https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs And how do you operate without RSA using PGP? I am confus

Woosh. Yes, that is what I had meant. Thanks for correcting that.

I wish someone would also audit tcplay [1], the BSD-license system with full TrueCrypt compatibility. I would much rather use that, if at least for the license concerns repeated many times in the comments here. [1] https://githu

People are referencing Ikea higher up. I live abroad and was surprised to see Ikea marketing Android/iPhone apps with this ability, and I said audibly to the dismay of people "now that is fucking slick, good for them!"

Yeah, just want to say I heard about MailDB (I posted up another thread), but this sounds very interesting. I will definitely check it out.

You seem to have reservations about email in SQL, but the MailDB has been building a usable solution around this for years. http://maildb.sourceforge.net/

I know Mozilla cannot please everyone, and I understand you are probably not going to change your convictions, but I think your attitude towards this browser and their work is pretty rude. Mozilla, fighting against a current to open source

So I tried looking around for info on this but my Google-fo is kind of weak. If you are still following these comments can you expound on this? It sounds very, very interesting.

I was falling out of love with Gmail, and at that time I was reading their site or a post regarding them on HN. Once I saw brong's Github branch as mentioned, I was sold and got an account. https://github.com/brong&#x2

Fair, but I have been under the impression that the intended use case of Guile is an embedded extension language, like how you describe Lua, and like the language is was intended to replace, Emacs Lisp. From the website ( http://g

I have heard of Guix, and I am quite excited about it. I am just waiting for it to catch up for me. In this regard, Nix and NixOS are also fascinating. Maybe I am the last of the Linux kids using Stow, and I like it because it makes me wor

Earlier someone posted in response to my comments about Guile a cool FRP system for 2D game design in Guile. There are also seem not projects using Guile, from what I can tell. Check out the list at Guile's GNU project page. https:&

And with Ada that is the problem: not much out there. I did see some people using it for Arduino, I thought that was neat and why it came to my interest again. As for Pascal and Oberon, when I saw the computer and OS of the same name writt

by 616c 13y ago
Sorry, I am wordy because I was busy and overtired. To keep it brief: you seem to have some knowledge on Ada, can you point me to any interesting open source projects I can use to understand? I have tried and not found many.

I saw that access type information, but the docs were not clear to me. What you question is the central point of my comment: maybe I am biased by learning C++ on SunOS, then playing with Linux, then using FreeBSD at work, but it is hard for

For anything I see as really important these days, I avoid anything that is not open source. It used to be idealism, but now I see it as practicality. If something happens to Atlassian, I am up a creek. I will call this the Perforce Scen

To qualify my original statement much later, I was told offhand by people Ocaml's multi-core processor/SMP limitations continue to exist (I know Jane Street actually is putting up money to change this) because the license of Ocam

But why do we care? Does everyone post to Github for the circle jerk of attention? I come back to programming again and again to solve problems or deepen understanding. Popularity is nice, but I post to Github because it is a public place

Me too. I heard a lot because of Zed Shaw using it, then having a fall out after a long angry rant against git and others. Subsequently, he corrupted hours of work when using fossil, got angry on the mailing list, and then he quietly move

On a somewhat related tangent, but a tangent just the same, Ada came to my mind because people in another thread about avionics in relation to the Malaysia Air Flight were debating the efficacy and/or safety of Ada versus a language li

Oh, really? That is embarrassing. I had just assumed that it was also Mantis BT because the interfaces were similar. My bad, I will update now. UPDATE: Sigh, too late to edit now. The internet preserves my follies for future generations
