It was originally developed as part of KDE (KHTML), although Apple have obviously done a lot with it since.

Hi, one of the implementors here... Yes, WSL is an option, and I believe Please works just fine in it. Right now we don't have any CI etc set up so we can't stand behind it and say…

Please is a pretty different tool to Jenkins - you could use it within Jenkins, but instead of make / Gradle / go build / cargo / etc. It does have some features to facilitate CI a…

We wanted something like Blaze (Google's system); at the time we were using Buck which didn't satisfy us (e.g. only one output per genrule, no directories; and it was more or less …

In that case, you can stitch both Python and Go builds together in the same interface, and then tie them into further actions (e.g. Docker builds, Kubernetes), again using the same…

Lost world? Not so. Look a little harder. Try visiting the Department of Coffee and Social Affairs, Fernandez and Wells, Speakeasy, or one of many other boutique coffee shops servi…

Sure, but trying to persuade billions of people to switch to a new system with unclear benefits and no backwards compatibility is not a recipe for success.

Having worked at a software company whose internal date format was indeed based on days as the base unit, I suggest that this is an extremely bad idea. 0.75 may be 6pm, but what is…

No, the same restrictions apply to class as to struct. The most relevant difference in C++ is that the compiler can reorder data members that are in different visibility specificat…

Maybe because the people who bought it early on have already played it and derived significant value from it? It doesn't seem right to me that they get all their money back when pr…

I do live in London, and while it's expensive, I can't see how you could need £100k annually simply for accommodation. Unless you have a very large family to support too?

Yes - that the progress so far has allowed other form factors like smartphones. If it continues, it may open up new possibilities as well that wouldn't be feasible with the current…

Nope - the newest lines (Victoria, Jubilee) are all smaller diameter trains. The larger, squarer cut+covers (District, Circle, Metropolitan etc) are generally older, because you ca…

I suspect a lot of the people buying the Final Fantasy remakes are people who played them years ago and are buying them to replay now because they no longer have a Playstation / SN…

FWIW, no, I think the reason "the community" is there was mostly because the founders provided enough star power to get the thing started. I'm not sure it's as far as in spite of t…

I imagine most of "the market" just don't care about it. Given the speed new phones are coming out, by the time the battery has degraded to the point it's worth doing something abo…

> people will end up looking on movies instead of the road all the time Have you used Glass? It hardly seems likely people are going to use it for watching movies on while driving …

FWIW, I disagree; having seen a candidate interview for a senior position at my last company who couldn't code in an interview at all , I think it's worth three minutes on a basic …

Not that you'll have any time to enjoy your presumably lovely 3 bedroom flat in Barcelona with two 4 hour commutes each day.

Why? I mean, the point of the article is a little shocking, but it carefully doesn't mention the commute time, which appears to be the thick end of 7-8 hours per day (2h 30 flight …

Does to me; I guess I think of it as either an adjective or referring to the language. While this usage is technically correct, I think I'd always say "Japanese person". I don't re…

Nope. Firefox 23 on Gentoo here, it's fine. Odd really, there are quite a few pictures of the map tiles, but nothing unusually large. Nothing I'd expect to kill a browser.

Not a rare earth element.

Exceptions and RAII match well, actually. Managing resources via RAII means that when an exception is thrown, the destructors of local objects are invoked so they'll release resour…

As per the article, they're very (very very) slowly migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7. I suspect Puppet and Chef are not even on their radar at this point.
