Is it that they couldn't or haven't? It's obviously capable of compiling code, but with the state of compilers today (impressive backends, etc.) does it make sense to have a three-stage bootstrap (minimal C → mini-go → full-go → optimized-

Agreed. 'Accepting' doesn't even mean you have to like it. It's aligning your perceptions with reality. To get more mileage out of this horse, if you accept (especially if you are initially offended at the notion) that the world is unjus

Cheeseburgers, you don't even need to ask the farmer about slopping his pigs. Just ask for directions. "Slow down when you get to the old Willoughby place, you'll know it by the brick shed they built in back, because the statey likes to si

"I discovered that you'd never get an answer to a problem from Linux Gurus by asking. You have to troll in order for someone to help you with a Linux problem." This is one of my Jedi-level secrets of technical management. I am quick to sa

As long as the precondition is infeasible, I'm happy to let him have his 20 years of patent protection. Or, he has safe, wireless, power distribution in his hip pocket and wants to patent all the derivatives and applications before the big

config layers are one of the best things ever. You can have settings/production.py set up without sensitive information for traceability and then the ops team can apply another config file with uids/passwords/red keys/etc.

Some people have the pathological habit of creating meeting requests and attaching 500KB+ spreadsheets, project plans, Word docs, etc. It's best when they send it as a recurring appointment and then send an "updated" version in a separate e

I think "pollute" conveys the idea much better than the German example. Yes, it can create an emotional conflict, as you've demonstrated. However, I would say that adding PHP and MySQL to a public server just increased the attack surface a

No, the enterprise solution means it can run only on versions ancient-x, ancient-y, and ancient-z of these OSes on approved hardware and must use this JVM and accept applets and plugins. :-) This is what happens when the buyer is not the us

As for functionality, Maildir with your MDA of choice gives you all kinds of rube-goldberg opportunities with text files. No silly "max connections" junk when your phone and your laptop hit IMAP at the same time. The one thing I really lik

As part of google apps, it's a mediocre solution. It's not good for collaborating with people outside your organization (clients, patients, whatever else ends in -ients) but it's just good enough to prevent me from going with a hosted Ex

There's also a selection bias in effect. Plumbr is not yet a household name. Speculating wildly, I suspect that they don't have enough clients using it at scales that would provide meaningful statistical input. Many Java devs, when look

"Told people my name is Rupert, Tarquin, or Archibald" Hey now, some of us resemble that remark. Multiple middle names are good, especially if one of them is St. John. Now that I think about it, that's going to be my go-to first name. "Ho

In the specific case of offsite tape archival, let's say someone who has the authority to do so requests that they destroy all tapes. Most service providers (who stay in business) have enough compliance features in place so that multiple au

Pointer arithmetic via syntactic sugar is definitely fun. I still love the occasional "variable index of a literal".

It's strange in the sense that Willy Wonka's fizzy lifting drinks are strange in a factory with oompa loompas and chocolate rivers. Any good experience is going to change your brain and feel strange at first. :-)

Supportive parents, significant others, and friends? The first wave of militant[1] feminists repeatedly reinforced that women were the equivalent of men in many ways and better in some[2]. Women today (under 40 or 50 years old) have had t

I've used TeX/LaTeX for 24 years and I look at PGF/TikZ and it seems more verbose than I can stand. Do you edit it by hand, which seems to be the case for simpler diagrams, or is there a map/transform application that can take output from

Having been the beneficiary of a similar event (Cheney, in this case), the hotel/secret service generally clears the entire floor for the official for security purposes. I don't know if it's policy to clear the one above and below, but I w

That's the thing. You don't 'claim' copyright. It is a right established by the Berne Convention. You would file a claim if your copyright were violated, but other than that, you control distribution of your original work as long as Sonn

"Anyway, whatever, her reputation is kinda ruined now" I think her position, which was originally extremely weak, has been reinforced by the large misogynistic response. She's a public speaker, and once people forget about her offense, she

A lot of people use it as intended, but most of us use a minimal variant to communicate ideas on a whiteboard or email. It also usually sticks to class and maybe interaction diagrams. Flow charts and swimlanes are much more common.

I often get stung when I 'reply' and add people to a message that originally had attachments. (OS X) It strips the attachment out of courtesy, which I usually catch before I send the email.

Never fear, alumin(i)um oxide is harder than elemental aluminum and is actually what you interact with outside a vacuum.
