I am thinking that Perl is (probably) the computer language which uses the most operators, but not everyone believes this is a good thing. I mean, it seems there is somewhere a sweet spot between lack of expressiveness and overcomplication.

The funny thing is that Venice, I mean the original one in Italy, seems also totally uninterested in this problem. After decades of discussion they have finally built these mobile barriers between the sea and the lagoon, which are supposed

Yes, but isn't it a bad idea to install binary patches from a third party?

It's good, but in my opinion, the fact that patches are not distributed in binary form is a bit of a problem. (Yes, I understand the reasons). With debian, I type "apt-get upgrade" and that's it. With openbsd it's m

I remember reading an interview with Romano Prodi, former president of the European Commission, saying that it was well known from the beginning that the currency union alone could not work. The idea was that it would have eventually caused

Local currencies are an interesting thing, but I think that calling these notes "euro" is a big blunder. Even if they are intended to be exchanged at parity, they are definitely not euros. The ECB could not like this.

IIRC the legal situation of the hyperspec is a bit weird and converting to other formats could be problematic. (Perhaps someone else may be more precise)

If I understand well, Arq does not backup the whole computer. I am looking for a tool that allows for recovery of single files, but also that has a backup of the whole machine, so that if the HD crashes it is possible to rebuild it verbatim

It's sad that a complete structure writing/publishing workflow is still so hard. XSL-FO is awkward and limited, and will probably remain so. TeX is not design-friendly. On the other side, InDesign is mostly visual only. Framemaker

The rules can be explained in 1 minute, but the game takes some time to just start making sense. I suggest starting on a 9x9 or 13x13 board. The regular 19x19 has too much strategic depth and noobs feel lost on it.

It would probably be a nightmare. Just try playing with an abundance of "psychic bids", and the game becomes more or less random guessing

For me, the hate is about several things: (a) CC's price make sense only when compared to the price of upgrading the Creative Suite at every release (under the old model). But I did not do that; I used to upgrade every two/three r
