It's nice to see some progress on the PHP Front, with this and HHVM. Though I'm not really a fan of PHP, it needs to be done, too much PHP code has been written. I think the PHP guys themselves should push a bit more for a new run

You're probably right. In the case of soccer/football worldcup though I really don't think it's gonna help. These seats will be filled anyways.

I'm not a python programmer. But shouldn't this be possible at runtime by modifying the AST to change it back to import in the AST? That way you could have a module you can just include to run this without a custom interpreter. Ed

Not everyone lives in 'murrica. In Switzerland (and Germany I think) downloading is perfectly legal. Uploading is not, as you are distributing instead of just consuming. Similar to how drug laws work here, you won't get busted for

Holy shit! So they are really not checking the CN and knew it since 2013-11-28. I've lost the last bit of respect I had for apple (that was mostly building webkit) now. (I deleted my gp, because it's pretty much obsolete now with

That is cool and all, but let me explain why I still prefer OTR. OTR is a library that works with many different clients (pidgin, miranda, irssi etc.). While as far as I know your stuff is pretty much baked in your products. Correct me if i

When I saw this I really hoped I would click the link and it would say there that OTRv3 supports group chats now. Sadly that is not the case. But support for multiple logged in clients and a key for file transfer or voice is also cool. I wo

I just slapped it on my server works great. Easier to maintain than GitLab, though with way less features. Probably not something for a company to use, there i'd go with gitlab, but it's just perfect for your own private server, i

Well actually that kinda is what I'm saying. You don't need to be able to hack out a complete OS from the top of your head. But yes you should have some basic understanding of how syscalls works, what a kernel is and what it'

This is a great proposal. DNS is probably internet's biggest weakness and making it decentralized should be a top priority. I haven't adopted Namecoin yet, but i still will when this is implemented.

That's what I thought. And then a huge flamewar emerged in IRC about how equality is wrong. It should be comparability not equality. Because eqaulity would mean men == women. So the rights shouldn't be equal but comparable, becaus
