I note that, like many erstwhile specs, TOML does not document the escape sequences accepted in strings. Nor does it exhaustively specify integer formats and float formats - rather ironic for a spec that advertises "TOML is designed to be

No, it's because because "facebook" has never been used as a common noun to describe social networks - as in, "I'll go log onto the facebook," referring to MySpace or LiveJournal or something. This conversation is about businesses which a

You never have the option of releasing bug-free code. So if they released code with bugs, called it bug-free, and boasted about it, someone would come along, prove them wrong, and embarrass them.

Not for articles, though. The only way to exert a negative influence on an article is to become an editor, which apparently requires meeting pg personally and participating in a secret ritual, after which your identity can never be revealed

Just a note: the Torah is a subset of the Tanakh, which is itself a subset of the Bible. (Christians refer to the Torah as the Pentateuch and the Tanakh as the Old Testament.)

Besides the obvious security benefits, this also makes sense as part of Mozilla's HTML5 campaign. By getting users to think of plugin-based content as "foreign" and "inconvenient," they bolster users' opinions of pure Web-based content. How

That doesn't make failed builds any less frustrating. Heck, in Python, you don't even have builds, but getting a SyntaxError on import is still frustrating.

I tried this at my office in August. When hosting the VM on my (somewhat old) laptop, raw performance was the issue -- there wasn't enough RAM and CPU to run both Win7 and the VM concurrently, and as an intern I couldn't justify the laptop

Linus may be known for his usage of four-letter words, but the code of conduct isn't (primarily) about profanity. It's about sexism and harassment, and I haven't known Linus to participate in or condone either. (Another tangential point abo

One way to deal with the problem of people communicating in a language the project does not understand would be to let repo owners set one or two languages for the repo. When users on GitHub en Español see an input box on their repo, it wou

Cool. I was considering using Vagrant for my current project at work, but our production VM infrastructure is on vSphere. Fortunately, we don't need to spin up new servers very often, so I just wrote a shell script to set everything up. It
