I wish the language the best, but I find it a bit confusing to call it Perl 6. It is basically a new language, something different than Perl (5).

Or, their drivers needs to be licensed taxi drivers, and they are not. For example in Slovakia, the law states quite clearly, that if you provide road transportation for other people as a business, then if your car has more than 9 seats, yo

I think it is the first - that he doesn't rely on the motivation, and instead uses discipline.

Ok. But I still believe it is worth it. Anything bad can happen to ones life even without having kids. Despite the risks it is worth it. But of course, it requires to have a good partner who supports family values.

For me, having kids is the most fulfilling thing happening in my life. Honestly, that advice is terrible.

As a father, I still cant believe how someone might be happier without children, or kids have not made him happier... it is a most fulfilling thing to have a relationship with ones own kid. I also do not personally know anyone who said kids

> I have no idea what one could do to make a life meaningful, outside of good work or raising great kids But isn't that meaningful enough? Having one's own kids is great and very fullfiling, and having good work can be as well

Why such an usage is "out of context"? [Not saying it isn't, but I'd like to see some proof. :-)]

I tried their Flickr app once. Not bad, but I didn't find anything innovative there (back then).

Why? I am looking forward to it. For example now, if I order a hotel, I might book it via phone or email, and then I get a notification email about the order. And... let's say one year later I want to book again - I think it is more co

I suppose they are busy meeting the demand from U.S. customers, but I hope they will go international later on.

IMHO the response from Microsoft was fine. They admitted the mistake and taken the bot offline. What else should they do? What I find strange is that nobody criticizes twitter for not doing anything... I think Facebook would deal better wit

Interestingly, in our codebase at work we use completely opposite approach, but the code is C++, not C. We try everything to have its own type, so instead of "unsigned long", we would use "widget_counter_t", for example.

I work for a Large Corp., and FB is not blocked. What is blocked are services like dropbox or google drive. But I can't imagine the security department would allow publishing work-related information to other company cloud.

Interesting, since I feel just the opposite. In C++, most of the time, I can write the precise intent of what the code should do, and I can also choose the level of abstractness, without compromising on performance! I think the main trick w

As a long-time C++ coder, I need to add that project-specific prohibition of some C++ practices is a pretty normal, even recommended thing to do. Introducing such prohibitions is not a fault of C++. Also, I observed that "bad experienc

Indeed. But it should be noted that their main competitors like Google chat or Skype also do not support it.

Me too, but I think I will settle with Atom eventually. Price of the sublime itself is acceptable, but then also sftp plugin is another $30... Or is there some other worthwhile alternative?

I must be a minority here, but I still consider Evernote to be the best notetaking app. Using keyboard shortcuts, I can instantly start entering new note, instantly search for notes, and very quickly find anything I put there, even years la

I agree. They could just use books in all classes like before, and possibly netbooks in an IT class (if they have one). It seems to me that the article came to the similar conclusion.

Linux, Raspberry Pi and robots are very specialized topics... we are talking about general education of 8 years old kids.

Depends on which apps do you use - there are also a lot of quizzes, puzzles, math and grammar exercises etc. But the problem is, what I also observed on my daughter, that when the exercises are printed on paper, she can just focus on them,

Hm, this is sad. What I wonder is - couldn't this be anticipated beforehand? If they asked me, I would probably predict that what she describes would happen (having iPad and a child at home). Anyway, why on earth would you give the chi

The problem is, that Yahoo didn't have any unique technology when she took over. Creating one almost from scratch and make success with it - in such a short time of 3 years - is quite difficult. But I tend to agree with the author&#x27
