Those are exactly the questions I ask myself every time I hear about a new, super-fast XML parser. Is it a real XML parser[1] or can it only handle a "simple" subset of XML? I am surprised that more people don't seem to share the same skept

because large-scale C projects end up reinventing C++ features in a more complicated, error-prone way You are spot on. Here is an excerpt from a blog post on writing a GCC plugin: The GCC AST itself is a curious data structure in that it

Dehydra is a thin wrapper over GCC AST that allows you to access it from JS. This means you (or someone else) has to write the actual JS code that does the static analysis. If you want some more information on how this works, take a look at

I wonder how soon the O from FYO will take this post down? For those who haven't noticed, this post was written in 2004. While I was reading it I thought this must be the guy's last day at this job.

Oracle removed public downloads of pretty much everything except the initial releases of some products. Patches for Solaris, Sun Studio, etc., all require paid support ("entitlement" in Oracle speak). So if you had a Solaris installation an

The complete MySQL API compatibility is a bold statement. If they implemented the whole thing themselves (I would say that should take more than 4 years in a couple-of-guys setup) then maintaining that compatibility must be/will be a nightm

Canada could also be an option, if you can stand the winter. Though the immigration process can take a long time unless you have a job offer from a Canadian company. If you are still interested in improving "plan A" (i.e., staying in South

I wouldn't call someone who is working on the "poke a friend" or "throw a sheep" features a "hacker". While the audience is large, facebook isn't changing their lives for the better. The user base may think so, though, just like with the TV

They could immigrate to Canada - unlike America, Canada welcomes people with open arms. If you look at the "wait time" for your application (provided you managed to meet all the requirements, which are not trivial, BTW), on average it is

I believe if you feel you have found a good co-founder, go for it; it is much, much better to have a co-founder than to go solo. But a bad co-founder is worse than no co-founder.

However, we can lament the fact we can not use/extend (namely - import) your code to add to it without triggering the GPL requirements within our own code. Zed's point is that the "BSD folks" seem to complain more when someone releases th

I don't quite follow your logic. The license is there to establish what others can do with your code. Contributors, as copyright holders, can do with the code whatever they please without any license. What I am trying to say is that to me t

More precisely, it is licensed under GPLv3 + runtime exception with the result being pretty much LGPL. In the case of libgcc, for 99.9% of the users there is no difference between this license and BSD.

This assumes that the public databases actually contain any information that will allow you to connect the dots. Aaron's claim seems to be that they mostly contain fluff that has nothing to do with the actual functioning of the government.
