Except for the last bit, also Bitstamp (a slightly more reputable site) had the same story. They fixed it in a few days, though.

I concur. % formatting is extremely cute and I miss it in every other language.

I would claim that all sorts of money-making schemes that involve bitcoins are more or less still gambling.

I don't think I had heard of them before the quite aggressive attacks against MtGox just recently. Which were day later shown to be quite hasty, given that Bitstamp suffered from the very same problem. Criminal charges don't matte

So it wasn't just mtgox being incompetent, then?

To some extent, it's about the severity of these reactions, I suppose.

My son's got an ADHD diagnosis and he seems like you. Whatever is slightly uninteresting is terribly difficult for him to focus on but if there's something interesting, he can maintain perfect focus for hours. I imagine it might b

Perhaps try porting your app to Sailfish (essentially Linux + QT5) and try the Jolla shop :)

I got used to how hg works and now, in comparison, git always confuses the hell out of me with its unintuitive commands and odd walls-of-text errors.

Some databases allow local shared memory connections. So, if you kill -9 a regular client that connects to the database that way, the whole database goes down. Fun times!

Can you install on root ZFS without too much hackery?

by dscrd 13y ago
Sailfish OS is built on all the same technologies that are upcoming in the desktop/server linux world, namely systemd, pulseaudio, wayland. They even use BTRFS for the root filesystem. That is the real Linux phone.

Generally a good talk and a good defense, but I didn't quite appreciate his new definitions of "State" and "Concurrency". And did he really compare a full operating system to Facebook's web apps in terms of com

Actually, Symfony seems like some kids went to basic OO design courses and took everything there seriously. It also causes the end product to be measurably the slowest in the world. http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks&#x2F

How did you deal with the resource leaks before PHP 5.3, which was released in 2009?
136.
by dscrd 13y ago
Can you have a long-running process on PHP these days? I thought it still wasn't an option.

by dscrd 13y ago
PHP certainly has features and it certainly is successful, and people are certainly doing stuff with it. It also certainly has severe and fundamental design flaws that are never going away. It's distressing to say the least to many of

Wouldn't it be highly probable that the untimely death of any of those men would cause almost everyone born after the war to cease existing?

Yeah, Mercurial is a viable choice still for just about all projects, and most of the time the simpler one.

Are there illegal markets for booze and tobacco?

This is why we need pirates.

Because python 2 works.

It's the little, seemingly unnecessary complications, like http://bitflop.com/document/111 If there was awk, sed, find which did the same thing but were significantly easier to use, I would complain about them.

Are you serious? It took me 10 minutes with my Jolla to get the basic hang of it and after a day of usage, I don't have to think about how to use the phone anymore. It's a lot cleaner UX paradigm than any of the competitors'.

FreeBSD package server was compromised quite a long time ago. Have they restored it yet? It not being there is sort of a deal-breaker for me, since I really cannot be bothered to compile all the 3rd party packages I use from source.

Calling each and every criticism of the language you like as "frothing hatred" (as I've seen PHP folks do quite a lot lately) reeks of cognitive dissonance. Perhaps you should get over it. Also, the end users of a programming

I'm actually a tad worried about what will happen to all the people who coded primarily PHP for their whole life when that roof finally collapses. Seems like it might look a bit like what happened with Symbian / Nokia -- they also

But.. why? Why not just move to a language that is already clean and good?

Perhaps, and I am being totally serious here, Rasmus did not know about xor.

I already take a rather dumb drug for that: coffee. And lots of it. I'd gladly replace it with a more efficient and safer drug, preferably one that doesn't cause a physical addiction.
