oh please do show it! I love XMPP and the clients are few and far between. Does it do jingle?

Try Nim. It's pretty easy to get the hang of it for simple things, and you can make a python module too.

Do you think they can overnight me an antikindle?

I like Nim- compiles to C so you get similarly close to the instructions and you can use a lot of high level features if you want to, but you can also stay close to the metal.

Effortless superfast caching with Nim! Network calls like you need for redis really add up. Instead of using something like redis with its network round trips, you can write to a memory mapped file. You can do that safely and easily with Li

They would probably be willing to parade Steve Balmer through downtown Redmond and yell "shame" at him every few steps. I think I could totally start overlooking IE6 if they did that.

Well I can see that now someone has a hiring problem in the near future.

A local hairdresser owns one and drives it 300m to her studio at the same time every morning. Easy to find a parking space with and oddly charming looks, but the thing sounds like a rolling tin can with a stone in it and smells like death.

No it's not. It's a really good article. It's just different from the kind of stuff you usually consume.

No no it's not bad faith, it's good faith. I'm not trolling, and I'm not invested in this idea- if you can make this whole house of cards collapse, more power to you. Power stations are a special case of the more general

I didn't go into the idea of "sound money" because I don't consider it a valid concept. If you use gold, you favor the miners, if you use shells, you favor the fisherman. If you use the wax tablet, you favor the accounta

I think we aren't talking more about Matrix because a severe form of "Not Invented Here" syndrome is rampant on the West Coast of the United States.

Yes it does; the current state of the art of trusted computing is indeed "run open source on your own hardware", and unminifed JS does that. It's only, as of now, impractical, because the browser does not help with verificati

Is it known how exploit prevention is done in a remote trusted computing scenario? It is well known that TCM implementations on behalf of Microsoft are being circumvented left and right.
