While using Mathematica, you don't need to go out to fetch some random 3rd party tools, because most components are already built into it. What makes it better is that combining those components is well streamlined, and there's li

You're nitpicking, and you do need to "read the docs", or at least understand the language. Wolfram language is Lisp-like, and is fully symbolic. This allows some definitive programming, and Mathematica does take advantage of

B.e.a.utiful. I mean, he is a good programmer, but I’ve seen him (even in other projects) optimizing codes prematurely, which allows vulnerabilities to slip in. I understand the temptation, but many of his projects are mostly not performanc

I'm totally with this. Simplified build process will help people adopting newer/custom packages into stable releases. Better if a package can be generated from single definition file. Even Redhat has a simpler build system that re

- HEADLINE: Easier DEB repository creation. - DESCRIPTION: Creating a custom remote/local/CD/DVD repo or a partial mirror is simply a nightmare, mainly because package management internals are poorly documented. There are ma

- Heterogeneous architecture made game development a lot harder. - Engines had to be re-implemented for PS3, because Cell is simply too different. (Note: Xbox is almost-PC, so it attracts lots of devs.) - Cell architecture isn't good

I've been digging musl + clang too. Here's my wrapper script that I use to compile a number of projects: https://github.com/esjeon/musl-clang This isn't perfect, but kinda works (even with autoconf). I a
