The great part is that Rust has a bot that will ask for thorough code review if something inside an unsafe { } -block has changed. Static analysis for pragmatic reasons is really common in Rust even now. (BTW, unsafe {} is still a whole lot

Exactly. Forfeiting copyright is not possible in some jurisdictions. I'm not sure what is unclear about a refutation of a single sentence.

A pleasure to see the Python community adopting Rubys drug-related naming schemes.

Thanks, Yehuda. I am very much aware of that, but that fact doesn't change people from complaining. You of all people should be aware that the spec is extracted from the implementation far after the language got popular, which is _exac

See the amount of people complaining about the missing spec for Ruby in this thread, which is his doing. At some point ~50% of the comments here were downvoted. I should clarify that I meant Ruby the implementation, not Ruby the language. E

If you ever meet Matz, talk to him about programming languages. While he gets some flak for all the problems of his original hobby project (Ruby), he obviously loves programming languages and gives things more thought then people give him c

Well, I had an implementation of termbox for `bisschen` (a mail viewer on top of notmuch), but that was pre-cargo and I don't work on it anymore: https://github.com/skade/bisschen/tree/master/src&#x2

This is an unfortunate situation currently, but better then the alternative. cargo doesn't tie into the rust compiler (just uses it as a program it calls), but it wants to be always available. Because of that, it builds with a known-go

There are lots of ways around this, including just forming your own company and then exclusively working for another.

I gave a talk at the Elasticsearch usergroup about that topic and evaluated a few solutions. I think Postgres fulltext falls into the interesting spot of being "just there" if you are using PG already and being very robust. It has

That depends highly on your team. If I have 20 support people with access to GH, but no coding work, the cost factor is not the team size. On GH enterprise, that's another kind of math. There's certainly also projects that just ru

If the service just provided "add a user, remove a user (hired, fired) and adjust billing appropriately", it would already be worth a lot and wouldn't need full account access. Its mind-boggling how many accounts I still have

Github (SaaS) is not f(team size), it is f(projects). You can have as many users as you want and the price will stay the same, if you don't cross certain repository thresholds. Github Enterprise is f(team size) CircleCI is also f(usage

Started working on one of those on a conceptual level. The main problem is that some of those services provide no management API nor want to resell, which would be the best source of revenue in my opinion. Without that, you have a glorified

Plus the hidden cost of setting it up. Example: Backing up Stash - while being relatively straight-forward - comes with some amount of scripting and testing (you do test your backup, do you?). Not saying Stash is bad (the contrary), but whe

For many companies, the chat is critical. Also, if one person has to fix the chat for 1 hour a month, you are easily paying more for that person then for the external service. I would question that hosting in-house would be cheaper. As stat

Also, if the services are important for you and need to run 24/7, you need to calculate at least 3 employees (sick leave, holidays, 24/7 pager duty...).

I saw the setup of a ticket system (with some tayloring, server and user setup, etc.) quoted at 20k EUR, which I found a reasonable price. That's 20k upfront investment _before anyone has used it_. And this is where the real value of S

Rubinius has been traditionally lagging behind in features (e.g. for a long time didn't implement 1.9 string encoding properly) and wasn't necessarily _that_ much faster. Also, people that do want to work at the core of a language

Just because C++ is a superset of C doesn't mean that all C++ features are in a way comparable to C (in compiling and at runtime).

Isn't the Blizzard website largely written in XML and XSLT? I can imagine quite a few scenarios where that can be a good approach.
