I'd rather expect it to be the work of auto-correction or spell checking.

I think you misunderstand the goal of light markup languages like that. If you're interested in typography, you'd probably convert the markup to LaTeX. If you're interested in poetry or drama, you'd probably also convert

It isn't Mozilla that breaks my heart but "Netflix, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, Amazon Video, and other services". On the other hand, it was something to be expected ... And what would you need a fast lane for if it were not for distr

I recently wondered whether it's possible to compile rust into a dll/so or whether there is a way to call rust from other languages (e.g. C, R, or ruby). All I found is that this isn't (easily?) possible because of rust'

IMHO a good choice would be a language where this can be/is implemented as a library and doesn't not have to be baked in.

I found it quite interesting how the Scala community reacted to such rants in the past -- mature & civilized, actually discussing pros & cons.

I humbly disagree. Especially in the case of JavaScript it's a good idea to review JavaScript's specific perspective on functions and object but also variable scope. I personally found "JavaScript Enlightment" quite inte

A language learning site that greets me in computer-translated German "Werden Sie fließend in jeder Sprache" makes me hesitate. Am I supposed to turn into fluid?

Now if somebody could tell me how to install the latest haskell platform on Ubuntu 12.04 and why cabal (with the haskell platform for 12.04) always gives me those incompatibility warnings, I'd be happy to try it out.

I don't know which century your Vienna map is from, but the Wienerwald, the Donauinsel etc. are all within city limits. As I said before, maybe you should considering moving to another district. It took me, erm, 15 years to move beyond

It's always funny when you use one of those little tools to scaffold a little app and then realize that 500M of disk space were used to setup a simple hello world example.

What about the Donauinsel, the Prater, the Lainzer Tiergarten, the Wienerwald, and all those smaller parks scattered around the city? I don't think have had much time yet to learn to know Vienna.

Actually, the quality of living in one of those city-apartment buildings can be quite good. Other than in many other big cities, there are no pure commuter cities in Vienna (every district also has some old village infrastructure at its cor

Good to hear that vim development takes on some speed again. Please keep compatibility with existing vim plugins.

So that's why you were surprised about the kangaroo. Anyway, do you think other European capitals like Berlin or Paris are any less "monstrous"?

A rather useless listing. I don't see the point of including three dynamically typed languages with similar usage scenarios. Until Julia is battle-tested, I'd suggest to also include C++ or Java (Scala) in the toolbox. You should

Yes (though I find it painfully slow) and there is more but making use of those would most often require you to duplicate type information.

They are changing the js API all the time. E.g. in ff26 they disabled the old download manager and replaced it with a new module that's available only since ff26. When the extensions you use didn't break, it's because the dev

Names of some distros. Short descriptions. Some image. No orginal content. Some remarks but no reasoning about why a distro was included in the list. Little surplus value in comparison to the top 10 distros of http://distrowatch.

"how does R do the things it does so well?" R is a vector/array-based language which fits the problems of its domain in a natural way. On the other hand, you wouldn't really want to use such a language for anything else

Since this is supposed to be a 101 tutorial, could you please add (maybe in a later episode) some info on debugging and on parsing the stack trace. When I add the text 1+" to core.clsj and have auto compile running, I get a gi
