I don't smoke, but this is a remarkable web app. The design is excellent , the UI is very well thought out, and I genuinely enjoyed fiddling with it despite having nothing more than a passing curiosity in the subject. One caveat: make it m

Yeah, listen. I'm a python programmer as a matter of profession and paycheck. It's a matter of taste. Do I prefer significant whitespace ala python/haskell? Yes. Does it matter? No. Does it matter when you're discussing a programming langua

Use real butter, in moderation. It gives you the fats and nutrients your bodies crave, and in moderation, it won't harm you. It also makes virtually anything tasty, including terrible bodega mac n cheese.

Intelligent and measured comment is more likely to be listened to, especially if it comes from people educated in tax law and accounting. I don't think the IRS is reading angry internet forums. This law is just noodling. They're just fishin

This sounds really intriguing, thank you! I've been looking for a post-lisp for some time now, and while I find Clojure very entertaining, RH took making it a Lisp seriously. This constrains it from the complete and utter evil I can accompl

Does it have all the same capabilities? Is it able to introspect into it's own code and monkey-patch like regular Io?

Headers are how the clients know to gzip the content. You think http libs and web servers figure out whether or not something is gzipped by guessing? :)

I do a lot of non-work-related coding in addition to my work-related coding. I do it because I enjoy it. Nobody's going to pay me to (edit: because I'm not a tenured professor) make finite state machines, toy languages in LLVM, and roguelik

In my experience, yes. I shifted my ground-state from 90% video games to 33% video games + 66% coding. It's helped a lot, but I would like to push it further.

I take it you've not been around for very long, yeah? GCC has had way worse than this before. You should've been there for the great 2.95 -> 3.0 switch. That was comical. This is a pretty minor flub compared to the other non-optimizing

The whole point of favoring BSD over GPL, in addition to prohibiting a GPL fork, is that I want the code and all derivations to be free for personal and commercial use with no obligations made upon the user/re-implementer.

There have been multiple cases where GPL fanatics stole BSD code and relicensed it without discussing it with the original creators, which is technically permitted, but dirty as hell. Some wireless drivers for Linux derived from this theft.

To clarify, Google does not de facto nor de jure have a monopoly even if they are wildly popular. I'll call Google a monopoly when they buy off Microsoft to shut down Bing and buy out DuckDuckGo. Their practices are occasionally questionabl

They want to look like they're "doing something" and in the process keep the populists happy.

This observation explains 99% of political debates. Everybody is making points that don't necessarily support their own anecdotal biases, but they keep charging ahead anyway.

To be fair, I don't trust people willing to use Wordpress to be diligent about keeping it up to date to begin with. Frankly if you're going to use Wordpress, just use their hosted service. Please
