You could make the case that the reason why we have C/C++ and its still in use is because of the tone deafness of academic language designers. Language designers have been arguing (mostly with themselves) since the 1970's that poi

That's a fair point. And for a large portion of software the benefits of C/C++ do not outweigh the potential costs and code should be written in a more protective language. But that does not change the fact that C/C++ is pref

Excellent list, I had not seen some of these. Time to fire up Mathematica and get some coffee I suppose. And I'm sure the list is helpful for many others also.

Can you list the top five Influential research papers that have inspired you while working on Appleseed? I have ACM library account so if they are ACM or Siggraph papers that is fine. --edit And thank you for making your project open source

On the download page there is a bunch of demo scenes that you can simply open and render to see all of the gears and knobs turning and watch your CPUs light up.

Article 50 is part of the Treaty of Lisbon. Any member state can trigger article 50 and leave the EU. The time to debate whether or not article 50 was in some way a tyrannical or unjust was during the crafting of the law. So we can assume t

It is explained in the info that scrollback is implemented in dvtm. Duplicating the functionality would probably go against the general minimalist Suckless design philosophy. Non-goals: unlimited scrollback buffer (done by dvtm)

Its sad that you get down votes. I think the majority of people agree with you but its the loud minority that pushed politics into everything.
