How does Frotz deal with the "no interpreters" rule in App Store?

Very appetizing course notes. However, I wonder if it isn't too painful in the long run to teach OS programming on a target where you have to flip SD cards every time you compile (as opposed to one of those with a hardware debugger inc

Or if you're in the southwest, I recommend 78266, which is Büsingen, a German enclave in Switzerland.

From the publication dates, this could be what Thomas Maier-Komor got his PhD for; however, since he now appears to have a full-time job at BMW, I wouldn't count on this being developed further. There's still Cil if you speak Ocam

The flight booking metaphor makes it very inviting to play around. Thanks for sharing. (Now if I could get Firefox for Android to download a .mp3 link to local SD card...)

To concentrate, I use computer game soundtracks (e.g. from Humble Bundle; particularly the one with Eufloria and Waking Mars), and to drown out voices of coworkers whose volume dial got lost in the laundry, text-heavy music in a language I

Thanks. I see it wraps NBD, too.

FUSE is somewhere on the top of my "cool tools I wish I had a use for some day", together with Go, so thanks for posting this! BTW does anyone know if there is something similar to FUSE, but for block-devices? I've written a

I'm not claiming any prior use of "Full stack developer"(TM) (haven't researched that), just that HN discussions often have a web-technology bias, where "designer" implicitly means "web designer", "low-level" means "in a VM inside a browser

I don't claim that "Full stack developer" has been used before.

Just like in the context of HN, "designer" seems to mean "web designer".

Racket (and maybe other Schemes) lets you interchange [] and () freely. Helps a bit. e.g. (cond [(positive? -5) (error "doesn't get here")] [(zero? -5) (error "doesn't get here, either")] [(positi

I thought that too. Was curious about the people who fled the Eternal September the Web has become, returning to the good old Gopher without popup ads and CSS drop-shadows.

The Bitcoin community could agree on one block to be the "last" block and compute all balances reached so far. Then start a new block chain with a special first block which initializes the balances. This requires a protocol change and lots

Similar in Germany, although it was introduced only recently. We got 14 months in total, which we split 12 months + 2months. It's also possible to stretch the parental leave into a longer time of subsidized part-time. One of my bosses is do

Doesn't Mercurial also maintain version info in one file below .hg per file in the tree?

This would be even more fun if Java supported user-defined infix operators with adjustable precedence, like Haskell. Or even mix-fix operators like Maude. Maude lets you define operators with variable arity and arbitrary stuff before, betwe

Have you got an example of a more sane and easier to understand notation for type inference rules? I find the horizontal-bar notation quite readable.

The Mint transaction, which becomes part of the block chain, establishes consent that the given bitcoin address owns one BTC less and that simultaneously the given Zerocoin becomes valid. Minting takes place within the block chain, unlike D

It would be inconvenient if the validity of a blockchain became undecidable, or even just NP-hard.

When you Mint a zerocoin, you spend a BTC. When you redeem a zerocoin, you receive a BTC. The collective of miners verifies that you don't get rich doing so.

Would that look at the screen layout to remove a span that is positioned too far to the left? Or just disable JS control over copy-paste, which doesn't solve this problem?
