A few years ago I got some books for free from a second-hand bookstore here in Zagreb, Croatia, where I live. One of those was a Real World OCaml book with a dedication from Jane Street Team to someone named Gustav. There were also some oth

It seems that Go's race detector ( https://blog.golang.org/race-detector ) can do that. see an example: http://pastie.org/9705392

Just noticed that in Perl the behavior is slightly different: http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/fork.html unsuccessful fork() returns undef, effectively stopping you from kill-ing what you don't want to kill.

Great idea, but not for traffic conditions (all traffic signs have to be unambiguous all the time). Also, these small touchscreens in a public area will eventually be smashed or stolen.

I am not sure what you mean. I tried to explain the situation. "Serbo-croatian" as such doesn't exist ( http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/535405/Serbo-Croat... ). Yeah, you can mix both o

I have probably the same understanding of serbian. I used to read a lot of science fiction literature translated into it. Not to mention that I learnt cyrillic script in elementary school in the 1980's when the language was still offic

There's one obvious way to write good Perl code: read the documentation. Perl has tonnes of it. There are bugs in there of course, but most of it is very good. Also try to visit perlmonks.org once in a while - they're good there. Everything

Excellent article but it still doesn't explain apparent "hatred" towards N9 and everything related to it. You cannot find it on Nokia support pages, for example. On the products list it's always on the third or fourth page after a lot of ol

Why don't Carpathia just backup the data? I know it's a lot of work and data, but burning 10.000 blurays (or other backup media) probably costs fairly less than 9.000$ per day.

Obviously, it has - for the male participants of IRC chat which found bot "jokes" funny. They have a social bondage now. That's how I saw it.
