A) Complete is when the compiler(s) actually implement all of the spec, for starters. B) Nice examples. Well done. But it's not about whether you can do the simple things. It's mor…

My perspective as a Perl5 dev: Perl6 just doesn't interest me. The two main reasons: (a) It's still not finished, but mostly (b) all I ever see is people in love with how clever th…

Hedgehogs aren't nearly as common road-kill casualties as people tend to think - it's just that their prickles break down really slowly, so we see more of their remains on the road…

I think it could be better worded as "Please stop being so bloody stupid"

..but it's git. Github don't host your repo - they host a copy of it. You still have all your work in your local checkout. What are you concerned about?

Perl staying ahead of the curve as usual ;)

So, zodiac signs have some meaning after all? :D

Not a fair comparison - the store can and will track my habits just as easily via the card I pay with. If I forsake the loyalty card, I don't get my privacy back - I just get track…

Yep, I found it absolutely fascinating!

Err.. wtf? THis is a direct rip of part of Giulia Ender's "Gut" book.

"amateur hour".. you have no idea who 'the OP' is, do you? :)

Anyone interested in the topic should check out the Gingery series on building your own workshop from scrap, which is all based on aluminium casting

He also made them a cookie, but he eated it

Wait for neovim?

It does. But the propulsion is really, really tiny.

I usually cover all bases by claiming I'm emigrating and leaving the country - only way to be sure :)

A few thoughts: It's really distracting that typing in the REPL changes the size of the containing div. The blurry photo of (I assume) the audience of a lecture just doesn't work -…

Weeks? You mean years! :) I actually find the "no end in sight" aspect of BW work to be really helpful: I don't have to worry about what happens when I "run out" of exercises, ther…

Lost my interest at "A New Workout Every Day" - that's the antithesis of useful training: "Exercise is physical activity for its own sake...Training is physical activity done with …

Anyone else remember Microsoft cheerfully getting a US judge to overrule a German court decision? Only to now insist that a US court can't compel them to hand over an Irish server.…

No, you can't. You can create a new history, you can't edit an existing one. To clarify: You can, e.g., use interactive rebase to remove a commit from a branch. But that creates a …

You can't rewrite history in git, that's what the shas are there for. An attacker who gains access to a repo can add new commits, but not tamper with the existing ones.

You realize every country that uses metric today used a different system before? The US is not a special snowflake: The entire rest of the world managed to switch just fine.
