By the way: A very interesting article for those interested in a bit of context around unicode and how it doesn't solve everything (especially from an asian perspective) is this one: http://web.archive.org/web/2009

Which is, from the users perspective, pretty irrelevant. The user bought it and is the legal owner of the device. Everything else is a calculation of the seller and his problem (tm).

Latex also does the layout for you. Thats the entire point :). Also, it is surprisingly fast.

Quite the opposite, I find it highly unlikely that they would gamble on an amount that equates to that size, especially as there are a number of competitors watching out. And yes, I can imagine such a failure with a build matrix as big as t

It didn't take a year for anyone to notice, it took a year until the investigation was finished and another fine was announced. Concerning that Microsoft is a test-obsessed company, failing to test properly for an error that could cost

Also, I find it quite weird that the site is cleary designed to be very high-quality, but the profile pictures are very low resolution.

Because we are talking about proper legal entities here. If I want my data deleted, they should have the means an the will to do so. Nothing "magical" at all. It is not as if I am asking "the internet" to delete my stuff

My biggest problem with GNUstep is that there is never any mention of an OS X build. There was one, but it is pretty broken and answers to inquiries were basically answered with "why would you even want to do that"? Quite simply:

Hm. If not, you have the problem of making sure that the calling runtime handles memory correctly for the non-GCed space, so it is definitely debatable. E.g. RMagick was famous for suffering from problems of that kind.

Thats sounds alot like the policy in the TeX world, where forks of libraries with breaking changes need a new name. Quite frankly, it's even harder to follow than the occasional breakage at version changes, especially when you try to f

Quake is not open source. The engine is. To actually play "quake", you need to buy the assets. Considering the quality of open replacement assets like OpenArena, I also don't think that open source games work particularly wel

In the case of Apple (LLVM/clang), having an in-house compiler gives you a certain level of independence from those kinds of problems.

After trying to help a friend to make Cherokee, Rack and Shotgun (yes, he insisted on reloading using shotgun) work together, I abandoned the server as "ungoogleable".

Because Couchbase has very different features and an almost completely different interface. For example, there is no changes stream, etc. The name lies a bit.

The packages themselves don't change the LOAD_PATH. rubygems/bundler do. Both explicitly add the paths given in the gemspec (lib/ by default). I wouldn't call that "magical".

This is not clumsy. It is completely broken, it cannot even be used as a library.

This goes beyond being 'not ruby-like', as it shows bad craftsmanship (e.g. mixed identifier case, bad indentation, unrunnable code). You don't need help by others for that.

Seperate things. It monkey-patches Enumerable. It uses class variables. But not in the same context. Thanks for finding that. Yes, the code looks like it is directly taken from Java/C#.

This is very much the definition of a code dump: a single file, not following any standard ruby code conventions - not even naming conventions (it would be called "rx" otherwise), tests within that file, misformatted code. snake_c

Sign language also has other complexities. I don't know about american sign language, but german sign language (which I learned, I wouldn't say speak) is very depending on context and direction. For example, meanings can differ de

Considering that sign languages regularly invent signs, e.g. for names, I doubt that. The interpreter might find out that there is a name at that place, but not know what the written equivalent of that name is.

Given that Demon's Souls was conceived in Japan, I would describe it's mechanics as very fitting to the huge group of core-gamers there. The western success is surprising, I give you that, especially considering the rather meager

Demon Souls sold 1.7 million games, Dark Souls sold 2.4 million games, which puts it in the Top100 for its year: http://www.vgchartz.com/yearly/2011/Global/ These games are surprisingly mass-market.

You can get the same effect by coming early and making sure people notice that you were in ahead of them. When done correctly, you get the "behind the project"-bonus without overtime.

The linked post does not even suggest that Ruby name or the Ruby community is in any way the issue here. It just happened on a Ruby mailing list. Period. So why is this posted under this title?

More importantly, it is far easier to revoke on a person-to-person basis even on the same account. If you use password auth and some accounts have a password that is shared knowledge (root, anyone?), you have to change all passwords once on
