No, they're primarily picking fights with individuals and systematically distracting everyone from the actual corruption of monied interests. Every so-called ethics issue that GamerGate has highlighted has been a hugely overblown misin

I'm still not sure the bookstore is the best place to go for grammar enforcement, rather than suggesting he hire an editor. But Amazon's foray into supporting hands-off self-publishing is at war with their need to have a minimum

Plus a film production is often trying to balance things like being able to make changes if the director requests a tweak. Much faster to do when the director is the VFX artist!

Interesting. I knew VS had been working toward features like that; I wasn't aware they'd come as far as they have. Though from my poking around there appear to be some limitations: no redefining lambdas in a live session, for exam

I suspect they'd have to rewrite Visual Studio into ClojureScript or similar if they went that route. Which would certainly be interesting . Though I'd certainly be all in favor of inline eval and live coding in VS!

I personally am all about encouraging people to make all the new languages and tools they want, even if it duplicates existing stuff. But I also agree that the comparison with the similar stuff should probably be mentioned. There's lot

Also note that we don't know yet if the NK-33/AJ-26 engine was the cause of failure. Sometimes the most visible possibility wasn't the original cause of the problem.

by ijk 12y ago
Building a new engine is, quite literally, rocket science. On the plus side, we know the problems can be solved, because we've done it before. On the minus side, a lot of that knowledge has been lost and needs to be recreated or redesi

No, in this case part of the rocket itself was decades old. Orbital used AJ-26 engines for the first stage, which are refurbished NK-33 engines originally built for the Soviet moon program. [1] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/

The accusations about Phil Fish, Fez, Polytron's investors, and the IGF judging process are blatantly false. It's a conspiracy theory that's mostly based on misinformation about the IGF voting process and misinterpretation of

I see that Leiningen rules all. (As it should be, it's one of the best package/deployment systems I've used.) An active ecosystem makes working in a language a lot nicer. While I could always borrow from the JVM libraries, it

I read it as a kind of a second-generation solution: it takes a previously solved problem (a social network) and tries to solve a perceived problem with the existing solutions. Whether it succeeds or fails will hinge on if there is a market

I hope to see a lot more people using this. The stuff that has already been built is fairly impressive, especially given the pre-release constraints.
