I always felt that the syntax was painful to work with - it reminded me of scripting with csh way too much. That's not to say Tcl/Tk didn't have areas where it would shine brightly back in the day. Those would be Expect and Tk. When you n

>It also doesn't help that such capability have to be implemented as C extensions due to performance requirements. If you think the NumPy and SciPy stacks are pure python, you'll probably be surprised to find a lot of C and fortran sitt

So, is there any reliable estimate of how much it will cost to implement this kind of records retention?

Former michigander here, seconding all the advice. There are more jobs in Missouri than in Michigan.

In my years of experience, I've found that huge ass blocks of code where % is useful in finding the beginning/end of a block are usually in need of massive amounts of refactoring.

In the past decade, product really seemed to matter. I knew a few Saturn owners who loved the car, but the sedans that were being sold in the last five years of Saturn's life did not appeal to them, and that shows in the sales figures too.

There were NeXT slabs that were available from salvage circa 1998. They were likely the machines in the computing lab in Wells Hall, next to the language lab. There were also a half dozen color turbo NeXT stations in Holmes Hall. Those mac

I remember back in the day, when friendster was first starting up. Some users like to have what you could refer to as 'gag' accounts, named things like "Root of All Evil". The people of friendster really didn't like that, and tried to squ

In some of the performance comparisons with Gnome, XFCE ends up consuming almost as many resources as Gnome. That's one of the reasons Lubuntu came into existence.

There's probably good reason. It was way too expensive, for one thing. I haven't seen any of these tablets hit the sweet spot of pricing that a few surveys revealed a while back.

In being a participant in many of these online communities, these kind of things sometimes seem like a losing battle to me. There will always be a slice of the population that will try to game the 'karma' system on sites like HN. Slashdot w

I seem to remember a paper discussing failure rates, and that there wasn't a large statistical difference between the 'poorer quality' hard drives and the higher end stuff.

There used to be a fair number of F-101s and F-102s, which were eventually refitted and had the letter Q prepended to their designations.

True, but loongson is the first one that comes to my mind. I'm not familiar with the other MIPS licensees or the power consumption of their chips.

I am curious if they would ever look into loongson. It's 64bit and fairly power efficient.
