You know, singling out "white male" as a group that has some kind of agenda is already "US/UK thing".

It's a spec. The fact that it doesn't change every month is a plus. It doesn't mean that a site or implementations weren't updated since 2012.

> Did you know that web browsers have native support for XML? Not only that, browsers have support for XSLT 1.0, so you can format it and style it with CSS on the fly. Even mobile browsers support that, as far as I can tell.

https://github.com/philipWendland/IsoApplet is a thing that you can load to your own blank Javacard. Come to think of it, you should be able to load ykneo-openpgp to your card also. https://developers.yubico

People should use smartcards more in general, regardless of circumstances and for perfectly legal stuff. It's not hard.

Anyone trying to use Perl6 should use MoarVM backend, which was the only supported one for Christmas release. Perl6 test suite is massive, you can't "break it with a patch", a commit like that would've been reverted.

My point is that you need a terminal program (like putty or iTerm2 on OS X for example) to get all the benefits.

I'd be more excited if they added support for NFS to every edition of Windows and fixed some quirks that is has. Bash alone isn't that useful, you'd need other stuff and you can already get that from other sources. There'

Kotlin has plenty of killer features, two of them is a very good OOB IDE support even in Community Edition of IDEA and machine translation of Java code to Kotlin.

It's not a feature, until it becomes a problem. It is a problem in Scala.

Check out Kotlin. It's not a complex language with much faster compile time.

I'm not a fan of Java, but I am a fan ofJVM. You don't have to use Java to get the most of JVM, you know. Especially since Kotlin is out, but it was true for a long time with other languages.

MapDB is great, thank you for creating and supporting it! But I think the most important feature of it is that it implements common Java interfaces from java.util.concurrent like ConcurrentMap. Drop-in in a best sense of the word. I'm

How would you explain that? https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r11&hw=... Swift is nowhere to be seen and Go is nowhere near the top. Once it gets going JVM is a beast.

WebAssembly shouldn't be for the end users to use, it should used for implementations of other languages so they can access the same APIs Javascript can. Add Lua to the browser, add Perl 6 to the browser, etc. There are plenty of decad

This is a marketing move, which is fine and dandy. But the message isn't 100% correct. Supporting anything requires resources, true. But that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of software projects that not only work fine, but

Not familiar with actual Macs, but I did install OS X plenty of times on PCs. Can't you just change time on your machine, install it and then change it back? I'm sure OS X can be installed offline.

Choosing BSD instead of Linux is "doing things differently". I'm talking about popularity and what it means in this whole comment tree, not about technical merits.
