"Notmuch is an answer to Sup. Sup is a very good email program written by William Morgan (and others) and is the direct inspiration for Notmuch. Notmuch began as an effort to rewrite performance-critical pieces of Sup in C rather than ruby.

Not in Germany. Here, we make "copies for personal use", which is not illegal. Publishing (seeding) is illegal, though.

As a programmer it's easier to insert a bug with floats than with integers, because IEEE 754 has various subtle stumbling blocks. For example, remember to think about NaN and that x != x, if x is NaN. And did you know, that there are actual

Well, the chart does not include much. For example, i found the ISC licence now. It seems to be equivalent to MIT, but has simpler text. http://www.isc.org/software/license

Actually, it is only 8 decimals: http://www.bitcoin.org/de/node/1#How_divisible_are_Bitcoins "Technically, a Bitcoin can be divided down to 8 decimals, so 0.00000001 BTC is the smallest possible amount." So instead of talking about "0.001

Disagree. The underlying problem is consensus [0], which can usually be solved. For example, read about bitcoin, which got some attention here recently. It provides global money transactions within a distributed system. [0] http://en.wiki

That's why a government can help here. For example, Germany bets on solar energy. You can see solar panels on many houses there, because the government subsidizes them, until it breaks even (in 2013, said above). So at this point the infras

There are a lot of these ancient tools around. For example, you probably have "rcs", which is a precursor of cvs. Rumors are, there are tools (wikis), which use it.

Sounds like HTTP 1.2? Since Google servers and Chrome already support it, the chicken-egg problem might be solved. Firefox has an incentive to implement it to make Google search faster and other web service should implement this to provide

"Operating systems typically interpret instructions written in high-level programming languages and oversee their execution on a device’s hardware." What is that supposed to mean?

Well, that isn't valid C99 or even C89. It's yet another GNU extension to support. Thanks for the report, though!

I checked with cparser, too. No issues here as well. Waiting for the release of csmith.

I think the deeper problem is not that stuff like arithmetic is done by function calls, but that it is done by method calls. This requires points-to-analysis and a lowering to function calls first. Since this analysis will be very conservat

Don't use them. Makefiles are fine. So far i haven't seen the need for configure magic. On the other hand, i do not work on software, which needs to compile on archaic AIX systems. For a Win/OS X/Linux portable build, a Makefile should suff

They backported the Python 2.7 unittest module to Python 2.4 and included it in Django? It is getting enterprisey. Maybe with Django 2.0 they will ship their own Python version?

Unix is a "DE", without the "I". This is a good thing. The "I" would mean that the parts would not be reusable in other contexts. While you can use "sed" for many things, you cannot do that with Eclipse's search-and-replace dialog.

Judging from the word usage of my not-so-techie friends, an "app" is a "program on a smartphone". A "program on the desktop/laptop" is just a "program", not an "app". When someone says "i have an app, which does X", she surely is talking ab

Favourite language "C but not C++" is not available. However, i see that it does not make sense to distuingish between them, when we are talking about IDEs.

Ok, i should have tried it. It does not work with a declaration. However, this code compiles just fine: int main(void) { int select = 6, from = 2; int x = {select * from}; printf("%d\n",x); // prints 12 return 0; }

Your grammar requires a special token '{', so the parser can recognize the start of the sql statement. Likewise '}' for the end. I'm not sure, whether you can drop that and what the consequence are. You're certainly not linear anymore. It m

Additionally, precendence climbing allows the programmer to define new operators. For example Haskell has that.
