First google result: http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~regan/cse305/RubyBNF.pdf I think 2 pages is not bad :) The point is, Perl is just impossible to formally define, it depends on the implementation to make arbitrary

I've been using Django for 10 years, and I never experienced an ORM bug, and when it couldn't do some complicated join, I just did a raw query. For everything else, it saved me tons of time. Is that long enough experience?

Well, this is the first I hear of ZeniMax actively pursuing VR. I'm curious to know what you're basing this on. From what John Carmac said, he has personally been interested in VR since 90s, not ZeniMax. The thing is, we can'

Let's be frank, there are at at least 3 degrees of separation between what Oculus 'got' and ZeniMax. It was completely based on John Carmacs enthusiasm for VR, and the time that he invested in getting Doom3 to work with it, a

I thought like what you describe at first, but after using it, I realized it was just much more productive because of the simplicity. In homebrew, if a linked lib breaks, it's pretty easy to fix by simply reinstalling, and it doesn

How is this possible, without Apple bot showing up in my access logs? Would they disguise it as a WebKit client? But then, they should also respect the robots.txt, and I've never seen anything but known crawlers in there.

You are entirely correct. All of these Asian economic successes were under a military dictatorship. The work week in South Korea is 6 days, 16 hours a day. It's not magic, it's really hard work and strictness.
