That list makes me uncomfortable. I can't imagine doing all of it unless I was some criminal. Alternatively, you could be a schizoid with paranoid tendencies. :-)

Oh, I should have written Europe::gas, which is not the same thing as America::gas or Europe::petrol. The problems with using mpgs for CNG and LPG vehicles, of course, are many: - CNG, LPG, and gasoline have significantly different mass den

Then the fences will stop working and the Gulag prisoners will successfully escape.

That would be more like Magdalenian Park.

CNG is methane, and propane is propane.

I believe that GP is confused a little. In Europe (at least Cental and Eastern), the gas conversions of cars are mostly of the LPG variety. I haven't seen a gas pump without LPG for a long time. I'm unaware of any CNG conversions around

It's the same thing as "+1". ;-)

The driver liked the car but said the biggest problem is mileage. 9-10 mpg in the city. Since when is gas measured in gallons? Around here, we've always had it measured in cubic meters at atmospheric pressure.

Well, natural gas, that's mostly methane. The good thing about methane is that there are reasonable pathways leading to it from waste inputs, so if we ever switch to synthetic methane, you won't have to upgrade your natural-gas-powered stuf

Even better - Europe is effectively comprised of multiple (rather smooth) dialect continua, with national states pretending to have distinct languages, while the actual language situation is much more blurry.

TL;DR: If you find an exploitable bug in a high-profile web site and discover that you're ineligible for a bug bounty, sell it to the bad guys instead. They won't treat you like s##t. ;-)

Doesn't OED4 use it as the platform it's built on?

It's sort of nicely ambiguous. If you hate the period (some people do, the Renaissance guys obviously did), you can interpret it as "the time when people were in the dark (about stuff)". If you love it (I do, for a plethora of reasons, as d

By the way, do you have anything to do with the article you've linked? Because the "when Europe was experiencing its dark ages, these collections were already well established" is complete nonsense. "The Dark Ages" refers to a period in t

I'd argue that it doesn't make any of the the "holy texts" any less ludicrous, but for people like me, who like to have this kind of resources for researching into our past, having this volume of texts digitized would be a godsend (pun inte

You can parse any language without running anything if you do it in your head. But most of us run at least the parser to do that. :-)

Have you tried Paredit?

Although one can argue that llvm doesn't provide enough information to implement a great jit, all aot compilers are moving towards using it. Actually, all serious Common Lisp implementations, for example, do incremental AOT compilation th

That doesn't make sense. Relational databases use relational algebra (which includes joins) to model data. The mere fact that you model it that way doesn't necessarily have to affect the physical representation. True, there is no such thi

Yeah, I know TIOBE - when I said "popular", I mostly meant "what most companies make the most fuss about". (As in "we must move out ERP system to Java! Quick!" :-)) C kind of seems to evade this kind of popularity nowadays, it seems to be f

This is all too primitive. If we're heading in the direction that the GP describes, it's probably because some people have realized a long time ago that Alan Kay was actually making sense when he was talking about the object-based computati

Half the functions are based on C, half the functions are based on Perl. There's no regularity or consistency. Recently, a third half of it was based on Java. :-)

by gngeal 13y ago
I'd say that Java is the most popular one, but C does all the hard work!

That's because recent versions of Emacs don't fit into one poll option anymore. :-)

Well, more like iburg, I guess.

What sarcasm? Well, if I could mmap it, that would be fine, although it would mean that I'd have to manage the memory for the machine code fragments by hand, as opposed to having them as part of GCd values.
