So what does that middle dot actually do before the function names? It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the linked documentation of the Plan 9 assembler, and if I have to use a character that I can't easily type with my keyboard, I'd like to

From the language FAQ: https://github.com/mozilla/rust/wiki/Doc-language-FAQ Go adopted semantics (safety and memory model) that are quite unsatisfactory. Shared mutable state. Global GC. Null pointers. No RAII or destru

Technology-wise, PostgreSQL is superior to MySQL. The main reservation most people seem to have about it is due to its lack of a good, easy to use replication solution. But I hear that they are actively working to resolve that now.

I think they each have their own place, the culture here is still very startup-centric (for obvious reasons) even though pg tried to change it. The programming reddit is still a better place for hacker/coding links (and comments) IMO, just

Another option, which is more noob-friendly is: http://wubi-installer.org/ It let's you install Linux from within Windows, as if you were just installing another Windows program. The main downside to this is that your disk IO will suffer

Sounds like you copied the iso file onto a CD rather than actually burning an image. I believe Windows, can't do this on it's own. Download a burning program such as this open source one: http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/ Then you can

I'm curious as to what made Delphi "legacy code" and why it needs replacing? Also, doesn't Delphi 2007 allow targeting to .NET? See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borland_Delphi Be sure you aren't doing this rewrite for the wrong reasons.

It is still very true today. The worst cases I've seen are family computers where the kids will click "Yes" or "Allow" to any message they get on IE (thanks to their Vista training), basically installing every piece of malware imaginable. T
