Congrats, team Sandstorm! Just played around with the new UI, looks great! Looking forward to setting up an instance soon (or perhaps paying for hosting) :) The work you all are doing is awesome - keep it up!

Precisely. It's not unreasonable to suspect that using Distributed VCS would give GCC at least one advantage over Clang, which uses a Centralized VCS. It's a popular opinion that Clang is superior to GCC, so it would make sense th

I met my girlfriend at a coffee shop. Previous relationship was through OkCupid, and before that, I met at 6 AM in an airport. Where do you live? Might be easier in an urban area. I used to live in Dallas, TX, and that sucked pretty hard -

A naive implementation of % is pretty trivial, so even if they weren't aware of the operator, I would at least expect them to write an equivalent function.

That sounds more like prostitution. I think the important element is this: did person A attempt to coerce person B into having sex? If yes, then A raped B. Let's apply that to your scenario. Is the boss trying to coerce the employee in

I've been in the industry for about 8 years now, and not having a degree hasn't made any measurable difference to my career prospects (in the long run). Actually, it's pretty routine for a boss or coworker to ask me a year or

The stigma around Haskell is quite unfortunate. Most complaints that I've heard leveled at Haskell are variations of "it's too academic". Given that those complaints usually come up when one is tackling abstractions like

I don't think that's a fair interpretation of what was meant by that quote. I think the point was that PHP has been used to great effect, regardless of what shortcoming it may have.

My understanding is that it's the difference in glycemic index. Corn has a GI of 60, whereas spinach has a GI of 0 (couldn't find the GI for grass, so...). The higher the GI, the more impact on blood sugar and insulin, and insulin
