You think horrifyingly painful medical conditions are extremely rare, or you doubt they exist? Or both? If so (as you suggest above), what a sheltered existence you have led! Consider yourself fortunate that neither you nor your family has

Addendum: Hell, I should add that I'd be happy with a book on any statically-typed language, for example a statically-typed version of this Monkey language that people are writing tutorials for. A statically-typed functional language

OK, next-of-kin and/or power of attorney, I should have added. Yes, I agree. I'm sure the court would, as well. But not some random person, fan, or acquaintance, as it appears in this case.

Yes. I appreciate that he released it as a PDF, but that book is one of the old, dense, academic books I described. I should try it again, but it's very different from the step-by-step books posted above, or the partial book by Stephen

Sorry, but if you're not family it next-of-kin, and you requested for Facebook to delete someone's profile, you should be identified to their family, and the profile restored.

Once again, I'm put out a plea for a modern programming language book written similar to this one, but for a statically-typed functional language. Like a basic ML or mini-Haskell. Yes, I know there are some examples in PlZoo and simila

First of all, this sounds like an Ethereum dev, not what I'd imagine a blockchain dev is. Second, is there seriously a significant demand for these kind of devs? Where are such jobs advertised? Are these mostly for sketchy ICO offering

Yes! I'm very curious if they've managed to figure the actual vulnerability. It's possible that they have, but they're concerned about similar bugs leading to the same situation, so they're just sitting down the who

I fear Trump is doing grevious harm to our democracy, and would never compare the damage done by Trump to that done by Obama. That said, Obama was notorious for his crackdown on leakers. If you at all kept up with the news then, you'd

While I'm sympathetic to the mindset behind this post (ie, by wary of git centralization), I think that (for example) issue storage is an orthogonal issue from issue format. With a standardized issue format, it could be stored in a dat

Sorry, I meant GCC's runtime isn't GPL.

GPL's runtime isn't GPL, it's got the runtime exception: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gcc-exception-3.1.en.html

GPL for an OS is I've thing. GPL for a compiler and runtime is entirely another, since only the latter forces any project you create with it too carry the GPL license.

Rust's cutting edge compiler is free, for one thing. I love Ada, but Adacore may well have killed any chance it had of being a commercially viable language (its use declines precipitously each year, even in the defense and avionics ind
