I wrote that with binaries in mind. Yes, I, like you, have installed plenty of sw via `./configure && ...`. You did check the md5sums and their GPG signatures, didn't you? ;) BTW, many non-developer will always be bound to what thei

App store and signed code are not a bad thing per se. I have never installed anything on by Debian/Ubuntu boxes that was not GPG-signed and coming from an apt repository (an app store fwiw). Nothing except software I developed my self. The

I was referring to SVN because when I started working in this field SVN was the up-and-coming SCM. You can s/SVN/git/g and still get the same result. Versioning the text of the law is not a problem. It is a solved problem. Every decent lega

Please note that there is clear distinction between the timeline of the text of an act, its enacting process and its legal content (the legal "meaning"). The text and process timelines (the easiest to create and visualize) are interesting f

Handy tool. It would be nice if it could show side-by-side diffs of the output coming from different GCC versions.

"Merge conflicts" arise whenever you have modification acts, in other words acts whose only purpose is to change the text of another act. (Most US and EU acts are modification acts.) The way modification acts are voted and then enter into f

It happens on civil law systems as well. There are many courts whose only purpose is to check the compliance of new acts with more important acts. For example an ordinary act can be approved and later partially repelled by a revision court

Law is a very, very, very hard task to tackle properly. You may not know but there have been three big "generations" of law systems. Many parliaments are starting to use fourth generation systems. Third and fourth generation systems look a

What Linux really needs is well documented protocols, not applications. See how integrated GTalk is in any Linux desktop and how differently is Skype treated. At the same it is nice to have a nice client as a binary package just to kickstar

Have you a problem with Bulgarian people or Bulgarian criminals? If you have a problem with Bulgarian people in general, then, well, that is called xenophobia or more simply racism. If you have a problem with Bulgarian criminals, then compl

The European custom is to ask the other party to sign on the border of the lines where changes have been made, so they cannot claim that they did not notice a change made to a canned form. Yet, this allow the signing person to add _other_ c

I would not call this _more semantic_. It is definitely a very cool and clean hack (more of these on HN, please), but not semantic at all: in the source there is not indication that the box is pointing at something or where it is pointing.
