> Do you mind if I include your language on the experiments list? Not at all! Thanks for the advice, and I'll take you up on the invitation to come chat before too long.

Hi, author of jaque here. I've been working on some other things for a little while, but I'll be getting back to jaque soon. It's quite out of date and needs to be brought up to 1.…

I've recently realized that most of the enjoyment I derive from building things comes from the process (figuring out neat / new ways to do things, debugging, thinking). Shipping is…

"There is no equivalent in any other language." I don't know, LWP is pretty easy to use.

You'd probably need a lot more oomph to render even moderate resolutions of compressed video.

I didn't, but that's really good news :)

Chrome's killer feature for me is still process separation. Slow pages kill my entire browsing experience in firefox, and when I have 20+ tabs open, that can be really annoying.

My point isn't that there aren't competent replacements. Obviously the BSDs in general have different userlands, as does Solaris, and so forth. But those things -are- the userland …

If the point is supposed to be "why insist on calling it GNU/Linux when xx% of it isn't even produced by GNU?", it's an ill-made point. Most of the userland (and certainly what we …

Dunno about you, but I know it because I did those things and now I'm fat. >_>

He tosses a few others languages out on very similar grounds. I confess to not finishing the article out of disgust after he did this several times.

My 14-year-old cousin came over to my place, woke me up, and asked me (a career software developer) "What should I learn now to become a computer scientist?" I didn't have a really…

In that case, use an ssh-agent and agent forwarding. Then you only need your private key on the box you're actually sitting at.

"It turns out that..."

You're either trolling or you haven't paid any real attention to the perl community. Your comments are simply inaccurate, which is probably why they were downvoted (not out of some…

I'm really beginning to hate this terminology (virality). It just sounds retarded.

Right, because the SUCKERS like me who spend far less than they earn and keep their money in a savings account with the highest interest rate they can find (at essentially NO risk)…

I wrote a little libevent-based webserver (bush-league stuff) that embeds V8 to do its request handling over a weekend not too long ago. You could start doing this today with very …

First class continuations in Javascript would be a godsend.

At least for me, usability isn't the point of free software. I want my free software to be usable, yes, and usability should be a goal for the development teams, but the overriding…

Classic case of overengineering the problem. I'd venture that it's a common enough class of mistake for those who have recently learned the hip/new/cool way of doing a thing. Thing…

I have wondered lately if living in the weird information landscape of modern communication isn't sucking the joy out of my life to some degree. I think next time I am unemployed, …
