That's a double-edged sword. On the other hand, TeX isn't changing much which, given it's space, is necessary: (La)TeX can still typeset documents written in the 90s. If you would start shaking those foundations, you are in a

Let's put it another way: it shows very nicely that the activity graph is a very nice plaything, but not to be trusted in any way.

Let me sing half a praise: I learned Prolog at university through three courses and learned to love it for a certain set of problems. Everything with multiple outcomes or things that map well to descriptions trough constraints are very easy

Contact the Ruby Berlin Community (either through RUG::B or Ruby Berlin e.V.). We have members that are in a similar situation like you and will definitely be able to help you out. Also, there is a surprising number of Berliners going to Ru

This is changing. Rents in Berlin are rising by more than 10% each year in most areas.

Thats the way it works, usually. Lawsuits can happen, though, but I wouldn't exaggerate the risk. Also, let me be quite open: if you hire someone for 40 hours and expect him to work more then 40 hours, don't be surprised if some c

This is an interesting subculture of gaming: people trying to dissect a game by all means possible. For Shadow of the Colossus, there is a community dedicated to finding every bit of the game world, even the unfinished parts that made it in

Answering my own to bring some conclusion to this: https://github.com/ffi/ffi/issues/288 Seems like the current maintainers are on a good way of actually contacting everyone to agree on a license change.

I have no problem with the LGPL (beyond the occasional problem with legal, but thats legals problem) or the dual-licensing in general. The linked commit hints at additional problems with missing licensing etc. In the absence of good documen

The "see also" list is worth a look... Elephants are surprisingly easy to overlook and behave erraticly if you split their group (e.g. by carelessly driving a car between the group). It is not unusual for cars to be hit by elephan

I don't know about how this is done currently, but isn't that the reason why those drivers often don't ship installed but have to be installed by user request?

Kinect was thrown around. I am not sure how helpful it is for learners. Our first attempt would be to implement a "mirror" view next to a given video were you can see yourself doing what the person on screen does. The biggest prob

Microsoft has a certfication programs. Sadly, those programs are notoriously weak (see the outrage about "Vista certified" machines not actually being able to run the hardware accelerated desktop). This was done to please hardware

portage also supports custom packages in additional port trees similar to homebrew.

I am not sure whether this is a good approach, given how much module hierarchy matters in ruby. I came up with similar hacky things as the OP. I played around with ideas a few years ago and found an interesting gem: #load actually allows yo

Many proof of concepts are not very interesting. They are mostly a collection of existing techniques to prove a point, often to the general public: that we are capable of doing this with current technology.

I have a nice, but very irrelevant story about potion. After EuRuKo 2009, we were standing at the gate on the airport of Krakow, close to boarding time. why had just disappeared and so he was the topic for our group and one of us started to

On the other hand, Parallels and VMWare frequently charge for their updates. I rarely find software that has such short license spans. I bought Fusion 5.0.3 in June and they already want to charge me for Fusion 6 (btw. the only version that

Well... "Seph is a language experiment for the slightly crazy lunatic" (README) I respect his way of openly experimenting with such things. They are a great read, if only just for inspiration.

Be aware that the project is untouched for 3 years and in no way production-ready. That said, I've seen Ola speak about Ioke at a conference and found many aspects of it very intriguing. Every programming language nerd should at least

I don't disagree with any of your points. I just disagree with the assumption that twitter frontend is something static with no time-related components.
