   I happen to be somewhat familiar, since I've been living there for 26 years. The majority of state enterprises (or those the state has a share in) right now are profitable, with the notable exceptions of a) railroads and b) the off-the-book

   True; expulsion (or leave) from a monetary union will also effect the euro considerably, and those issues (mistrust, bond revaluation, etc.) can quickly evolve in an avalanche effect. No sane person in the EU wants that.

   Really? Shut down public transportation, public health care, public telecommunications and public power? Do you have an equally brief transition plan?

   I see your point, but the fact remains that the underlying technique is just the same. The difference on whether intermediate files are used further down the build process seems somewhat irrelevant.

   I was specifically referring to the usage of intermediate files...I think I assumed too much, since obviously you must have a very different view of what consists an intermediate file than I do. Would you care to elaborate?

   I'd like to point you to the 2008 paper by Felix Klock [1], or perhaps the more easily digestible presentation [2], where you will find (slide 39-47) the description of the inner workings of procedural macros like define-c-info, where it's

   Wow, that's actually kind of exciting (and disturbing!), even though the link is unstable. Thanks for the info.

    Are we still talking about WiFi? The one with coverage limited in fractions of a kilometer? Achieving 20 km coverage radius (or even targeted coverage) sounds like a sisyphean task to me.

    What a great Top 5 apples and oranges article. kate and GEdit - two text editors - are there, but not vim and emacs? Where are IDEs like Xcode, Dreamweaver, or even Code::Blocks? Somebody needs to get it together.

    Of course there's going to be an overlap, amplified even further because most (non-technical) people will ignore the difference between the two. My point was that the two communities' lack of support for the merge is not really an applicati

    I'm not going to argue semantics here; if you happen to have noticed, the Unix/Linux, Ubuntu and SuperUser sites all have overlapping areas of interest. Does that mean they should all be one? The StackExchange people seem to think not, and

    That's quite different. Sandboxing in an interpreter is actually fairly easy.

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it's not a minor difference: Linux is a kernel, Ubuntu is a distribution.

    As mentioned in http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1400882 , where I'll continue replying, such comments were "upvoted furiously" because people agreed with it despite its caustic wording. Could that be because the original article provok

    The article quotes several users' comments out of context. In context, some of them seem more like indirect venting rather than directly attacking fellow HNers (pwn0cakes post is the first example), which is my understanding of what PG writ

    I wonder if, and to what extent, the existence of reasoning engines and frameworks such as Jena has played to the alleged Prolog murder.

    I think Anonymous Pro looks a lot like Consolas, only a little less bold. Also, a little more "packed" - I assume this is due to decreased font height, which for me works great sometimes but it can be cumbersome to my eyes.

    Looks like there's a "normal" one; take a look at the sixth line in the 'All Characters' tab. I'm using it now and it's all good, too.

    I think the Dragon book is pretty approachable for someone with basic CS background. It's also quite extensive in its coverage of compiler implementation techniques. However, as others have already pointed out, certain aspects are not cover
