One reason, according to Elon Musk, is that parachutes or floatables won't work in the thin atmosphere of Mars. So if Mars is the vision, they must develop something that works there.

Armstrong's proposal reminds me a bit of Emacs extensions. Since Emacs Lisp doesn't have namespaces or modules, all functions must be uniquely named which is done by prefixing them: foo-replace. This is not that different from hav

In Europe, at least in Germany and Switzerland, it's normal and expected to state your birthday and place of birth. You also include a passport-sized photo of yourself, usually in the top right corner. See for example this guide to res

Sounds interesting, could you elaborate?

"includes 61 million lines of code" sounds scary, even if it's much more than an IDE these days.

Would be cool. We had one over a year ago, and the attendance was good, but no one organized a follow-up. See http://techup.ch and meetup.com for what's going on in the tech meetup space in Zurich. I'm often at zhgeeks, jszurich, web tues

Author here. Originally I thought it's bad form to close a channel that the client passes in. But you're the second one to point this out and I've come around to seeing it's clearer and more idiomatic. Just pushed the change.

godoc -http=:8888 is very cool, too. It gives you most of golang.org on localhost, for speed and when you're offline. What's more, it includes the documentation of your own code and all installed third-party packages under "Packages", as lo

This book isn't for you, then. I understood it as an introduction to programming, using Go. The official Go website http://golang.org has everything you need, including the spec [1] and the insightful Effective Go [2]. [1] http://golang.

The title of this submission is in fact totally wrong. Rakudo has quarterly releases. Perl 6 is not finished.

Zurich, Switzerland. Public transport is very good. With the car-sharing company Mobility it's easy to book a car by the hour if needed. That plus normal car-rental for longer trips comes out cheaper and more hassle-free than owning.

It should be something that's orthogonal to screen size. Maybe have a slider somewhere on the page that allows you to zoom in and out of the content.

Interesting, thanks. Do you think one could use only one of the two narrow shelves and put a large screen on it? Can it support the weight? That way you could have keyboard and screen at different heights.

I'm a bit torn over the RAM limit of 4GB. It's ok now, but if I buy a machine in that price range I'd like it to be good a couple of years.

Emacs org-mode ( http://orgmode.org/ ) seems to provide most of your requirements. Haven't used it myself, though.

In Switzerland, you're banned if you stayed in the UK for longer than a few weeks, during the BSE years. That seems to make a bit more sense.
