Every sane public school system should. And the systems i know have a though recruiting process. Just because it's not hire and fire it's usually not laissez-faire.

I'm German. I'm not sure what you are talking about. You do need to graduate a "Gymnasium" (years 5-12 or 13, right after elementary school). But any "Gymnasium" will do. Every town has a "Gymnasium", you don't have to move or bake cookies.

I like that design style very much. But I agree that "flat" is not the thing that makes these great. The design looks modern, is a old-fashioned 1920ies style. For me it looks Bauhausish.

Ok, everybody, Javascript is over. Now everybody will be able to use their favorite language and chances are that it will be faster.

While De Beers business plan was/is genius, i think Swaroski topped it. While De Beers sells useless rocks for top prices, Swaroski sell glass imitates of these for similar prices.

It is a different kernel with a netbsd userland. I somehow expect a Debian/minix to come out soon.

you can compile the c code to llvm IR, but why would you do that? LLVM is not a very good VM it's not platform agnostic, some stuff like the the pointer size are set a compile time, c seems to be a better platform agnostic assembler.

I wonder if Arc is finished or dead. I like it it seems the ecosystem is missing.

I think China has an advantage here. While most Chinese have only one (or maximum two) children to support, the average number of children is higher in India. It chinese parents can afford to spend more money per child on education and I th

On the other hand, at least I think so, the Japanese are using emails instead of text messages on their mobile phones. Text Messages: One of the worst, and still the most popular IM systems.

I'd love to see a (either ported or native) Unix in javascript that can run all these ported programms. I know emscripten already does have a filesystem and stuff. But I mean something bigger, something with filesystem backends for webdav a

According to your logic Chicken Scheme is the language of the future. They have a small, but great community. I like it, but I have given up hopes that one day it will become mainstream.

There are services that sell copycat websites like Twitter, ebay, and social networks and I have even seen a youtube clone for about that price. I have never seen them in productions besides the demos, but i guess this is what they are look

Is perl 6 messed up? I haven't had the time to look at it, but it doesn't seem to.

It does pretty much. It means you can abduct people and torture them, that's pretty much everything a secret service would ever want to do. Google Murat Kurnaz. There was a whole network of CIA prisons with torture in Europe.

Chains of trust can't defend you from this. Only certificate pinning. IMO this shows why self signed is the way to go: There are no authorities you can trust.

I have no idear how "accessibility" is defined. I'd say getty is quite accessible, but well, I don't know, I never relied on it. But yet, that is no excuse to start a hole desktop. Just like a program can use gtk (theoretically) without a g

Yes. dbus effectively breaks network transparency of x11 apps and turns Linux into a Desktop-Single-User OS. While I'm not regually writing desktop applications i have never ever missed dbus. And ipc mechanisms have a tendency to become unp

I'm not going to watch this cringeworthy thing again, but i can remember than he insisted that dbus was useful and that we need a gnome session in our login manager. That would be enough to proof the point.

I don't see a single ad-hominem. And ad-pulseaudionem is just like a ad-networkmanagerem or a ad-dbusiem: If your software design sucks and it does not work good enough that you don't have to care about this you will be told it sucks. And t

I found out about LÖVE about 2 weeks ago. It looks a bit like "flash done right". I haven't done anything with it yet, but it looks cool for interactive multimedia content.

I like it. It seems you are aiming at geeks. And I think geeks want a powerful search interface and this is why I haven't found a website i really like. I want to make queries like "Recipes with Tomatoes, Paprika but without meat of type so

webm is a defined subset of mkv. And it stays that way. Only a small, finite number of codecs have to be implemented (so far vp8, vp9, vorbis, opus).

I have seen j for current density only so far. But physics are convinced you can tell the difference by context (which is usually true, but probably impossible for a compiler, even if physics is "typed" with units). For handwritten text at
