I was expecting either the Alpine Linux, or a port to js of the mail client. :)

Unfortunately both Alts are not equivalent. The right one, the AltGr is uaef in many languages to type letters with diacritics. E.g. in Polish AltGr+Z is Ż, while AltGr+X is Ź. Still using both Ctrls itself helps a lot, and one may have a r

Boom is "just" pure Doom + some static limits being raised, and a few new types of floors and lines (plus a few other smaller changes) :)

I've actually implemented the Game of Life in Doom engine. But I've used a significantly stronger "computation model" - Boom engine, which provided scrolling floors, and more actions being possible to be triggered by mon

That's why I loved The Witness devs who released an update for the game, with improved support for my crappy old integrated GPU on laptop. Even though it was not meeting tmhardware requurements of tge game.

"People" don't need just lossless, they need The Beatles to release all of their pre-master tracks to be released in lossless format, so they of them can create their own remastered versions of a the tracks.

On the other hand over last few months majority of post from sma few of private Google Groups, I'm member of, keep getting wrongly clsssified as spam. I don't know if it's related either.

Yup. I really loved all the functional stuff I've learned there from OCaml to SML+Extended ML, to Haskell. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to professionally program functionally since the n. :( It was all Java and C++. Thoug

Not the original commenter, but my first year course of Introduction of Programming 15 years age was also using OCaml. There were two groups of students, standard one was using Pascal, and the functional one using OCaml. I was studying on

You can very well parallelise CPU-intensive problems. Look at e.g. "Embarassingly parallel" on Wikipedia. Intuitively if you can divide your work into chunks that are large enough, the scheduling overhead becomes negligible.

I can see several of the compact models here: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris#Sony But e.g. not XZ1c

I've once implemented a regular expression engine based directly on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brzozowski_derivative – it's straightforward to implement both intersection and negation this way.

I hope very few people will own electric cars in the future (or any car whatsoever). We don't need more cars on the road - we barely can squeeze them on our roads now. We need good, fast, ubiquitous public transport system.

What's the problem with the "mutable"? I thought that it does not impair the type safety.
