Meh, yes. Shouldn't post replies like that at 40 degrees celsius outside ;). You are right.

Note that the graph states the trend for the last 5 years was "doesn't go up or down", so the level is interesting. It's just no hype any more, but at least for half a decade. So it's also no decline.

I started learning Ruby for fun roughly 6 months before the first release of Rails. Although I rarely use Rails today (more because I rarely work on full-stack projects), it paved the way for a lot of the Ruby community today. That was a lu

Defaulting to "paste and match style" (which could be plain text) would be quite sufficient, IMHO.

I know some recruiters and what you say is true: it's not necessarily the recruiter but the client that is clueless. I did some hiring for some companies and saw some of this at work (e.g. the CFO writing the job offer, never passing i

Given how generic they are, thats probably true. I recently had someone asking for three years of experience in AESON (for the uninitiated: thats a JSON parser...).

Publishing it as MIT is, on the other hand, a different cup of tea. I am not disagreeing that this is possible, but the parent wasn't sure of the correct position, either.

You think or you are sure? The creator of the collection is using the logo by putting it on the web page. Also, the logo is licensed under MIT, which he probably cannot do, if he doesn't hold the rights.

This title is missing a "for me". I am all for finding out your personal way of doing things, but don't call things bullshit just because they don't work for you.

Yes, and I think I also made clear that I don't accept you using solely that definition to discredit and downplay achievements of people not concentrated on a fringe of things. Your comment is the elitist as hell. For example, someone

"professionals" are, by definition, people that are employed in a profession.

Hate to break it to you, but most professional programmers have no deep knowledge of: * runtime systems * detailed memory management * algorithmic complexity Yet, quite a lot of those build parts of huge systems that work and meet business

Great! Feel free to ping me on twitter, same username, when you have something. I'd really like to see it. Happy that this is settled, too.

The difference here is control. When I push a patch to github or post a picture on flickr , I decide what happens. If someone updates an issue and github tracks that I read the email without giving me the ability to opt out, I don't.

> Also, an important difference is that Rust traits can be used as Java-style interfaces; for example, you can have a list of objects of different types, but that all implement `Show`. To be a tiny bit nitpicky here: you can have a list

I think I see where this went of track and I think this is a grave misunderstanding. "The biggest hurdle in all those systems is understanding what typesetting actually is" Read it as: "The biggest hurdle in all those systems

This is a bit tricky, though! The Origin EULA is not necessarily post-purchase. It is, if you buy the disk, install the game and then click through. It ain't if you download Origin, install, accept the EULA and then buy a game. Still,

Which decision in which legislation? This is highly contextual. In Europe, for example, contractual freedom with a consumer (not in between companies) is often highly regulated. And even then, it differs from country to country.

by Argorak 12y ago
I am constantly surprised by the common reaction that this is covered by the EULA and thus okay. Origin is a software intended for international use, including such countries where this behavior is: a) actively prohibited b) probably illega

While this is half an answer to my post, I am incredibly put off by the tone and will not take a second look at your project. Yes, I know what a modern type system is and what merits it has. I also know that TeX has it's own fixed poin

The full TeXLive is 1.3GB large, because it ensures that the only thing you need to build any semi-sane TeX document is this installation. Describing TeX as Code misses the topic by a wide margin, a lot of the things in the distribution are

This was an example question. The problem is wide, that's why I was asking about _forward compatibility_. Even if I have long term support, what happens if that runs out? How does that work in the presence of scripting and extensions?
