There is someone who cryptically mentioned, I think on the thread about measuring a startup's product viability by whether or not employees voluntarily used said product, being a developer for Opera and his management team alienated a

And I have to be honest: even as someone who likes systemd, the maintenance and security implications of this concern me. I was looking at the code and was surprised to find only Javascript and C, but your quick summary on the implementatio

True. But Haskell is not necessarily young (of course I understand we both know Ada is still much older). There is the GNAT project, which is the GNU compiler for Ada. Rosetta Wiki showed examples of C Interop/FFI that seemed reason

I am not sure why, but this week I happened along Ada again (cannot remember why) and also stumbled upon AdaCore. Can someone explain to me, since I am in the uninitiated, why no one has shown real interest in Ada, with its complicated type

Interesing that no one mentions cgit,[0] even though Linus and kernel developers moved away from the default (it comes with git itself) Gitweb Perl CGI Library a while ago.[1] Cgit is pretty impressive stuff as a frontend. I am sure it is

This is not to troll, but Nimrod (which has been mentioned a few times on list) is a language that looks something like mainly Pascal or Python and builds C code that will be subsequently compiled with a soft-realtime garbage collector or w

Well I know they fired their CEO or he "found something better and pivoted" not so long ago. I find this ironic because he started the product after graduating from our alma mater, who is terribly locked into this garbage.

Saw it recently and I am curious how it will pan out. I work for people that would never make the change.

As someone who deals with a lot, it is garbage garbage garbage, and as some have guessed, little competition and enterprisey licenses and lock-ins guarantee they thrive. Recently, I discovered their mobile app requires an in-app purchase to

It is this kind of nitpicking, without justified analysis of the course (where you do not program in Java, but a language specific to the course for building logic gates and working your way up) and without appreciation for the JVM, Java, a

But many don't do this. Only true artisans due. I did not have this opportunity in college to be taught other way. I stayed a language major. In hindsight, I would have changed majors, at least double-majored with this kind of curri

Your idea about going from architecture to programming in the other way of traditional curricula, in my opinion, has a lot of merit. Other seem to agree. An Israeli professor, Noam Nisan, created a course specifically for this purpose, now

And for your viewing pleasure, the obligatory XKCD reference. http://xkcd.com/258/ There is probably more than meets the eye because the brain matter behind them is making it so.

Whatever, fuck Google. If you are interest in doing this with Android, the autopatcher[0] does this for you on a whole series of ROMs on all versions of Android from 2.x-4.x, and has been doing so successfully for a while. There is a prett

Want your head to explore: the future of package management: an Emacs plugin when Emacs goes Guile! (Personally, I think that would be pretty cool.)

Is anyone using NixOS on a laptop or desktop they use frequently? This is the third time I read about it here, and I generally curious.

Check out Mitchell's sister project, packer, on Github. Vagrant and packer are an unstoppable in any Unix-geek toolkit. I also saw Mitchell's videos on middleware-style coding in Ruby, also posted here, and that was a really insi

What is interesting is that anyone that comes here, likes it (I do from what I see) and goes to check on the Mer Project where this work stems from will see their git repos have been largely untouched for two years. [0] I find that strange

I am not such a Pythonista and I am quite busy, but I think it was here or Reddit (maybe both) I saw first mention of PythonAnywhere, a web2py-specific hosting service. They are quite cool, as is web2py (despite all the Django haters due t

Anyone know the background. Is it worth a read compared to more traditional books, like Stroustrup's book?

That is funny because my limited experience with Python, on-off over the years, it was impressed upon me many, many times composition is superior to inheritance, and the language even has both built-in. And yes, for all the pointy-hairs aro

So much of this sounds interesting, so what happened to T? Is there any code for the T3 variant? I presume you need T1, T2, and T3 to bootstrap the former, but I would love to see some of this stuff!

In France they are. At least my French neighbor has what might be considered physician assistant level education in France and she would run the show during a birth. The US is very different in this regard.

You would be surprised. The cultural norm (not scientific, mind you) to have women give birth on their backs in reclining position was French royalty and aristocracy, according to our birthing coach. Why that continued into modern medical

As pointed out by another user, I was annoyed as you reading the article, but the script can be used outside of their PaaS and the source is on Github [0], even though the author did not link to the repo. Typically, I have noticed the prev
