Viewing profile — sad

And just over there in the ocean is his ship, Loki.

I created a sample app using Puma and Celluloid to work through similar troubles I was having with Sinatra's streams and Puma. If it helps, it's here: https://github.com/sdeming/ce…

These are fun. In C++, make the compiler do your recursion: #include template void pr(const std::string &msg) { std::cout (msg); } template void pr (const std::string &msg) { } int…

It is threadsafe in jruby (as of 1.6.6)[1]. It is a decent feature, and it would be great if matz would reconsider. [1] http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3194

2/29 is a good date. 3/14 would have been much more in tune with the Raspberry Pi name.

I'll go out a limb here. It seems like it was too easy and too valuable. Smells like a Trojan Horse. Who knows what Iran will be getting themselves into when they move the thing to…

Don't be sad. Competition and innovation are good things. XMPP and IRC aren't perfect solutions. I haven't seen this app in action so I can't comment on the "doing it poorly" part,…

Indeed, if you haven't tried it yet then you absolutely should. I highly recommend Just Cause 2, it's a huge game and it plays perfectly. You can play any game for 30 minutes witho…

Isn't GC pause good enough reason for anything of this kind? I'm perhaps not up to date in the latest JVM GC performance profiles, but if shaving even a few usec is important then …

I'd say forward for sure. This breaks down the barriers to entry for a lot of folks, especially in enterprise land. Definitely looking forward to how this develops.

This sure sets the table for spinning off the DVD rental product. Prior to this arrangement the two were practically inseparable.

I first learned about this guys work in The Music of the Primes by Marcus du Sautoy. Excellent read for anyone interested in these topics. I understand maybe one hundredth of the m…

Gotta be Sneakers. Incredible cast and well written. What's not to love about Darth Vader answering "We are the United States government, we don't do that sort of thing." to the si…

Agreed. It almost feels like we're being herded into indentured servitude. Share a song you like? That'll be $40MM please. "Can't pay? We have this hole we need dug... On Mars... I…

So scala, clojure, jruby, mirah ... are all ok. Or even quercus if you are into php. This sounds fun!

YARV is the VM, it's still MRI (Matz's Ruby Interpreter)

Because: You get the whole Java ecosystem at your fingers. It's faster than MRI (1.8.7ish) and a contender (maybe even faster now) against MRI 1.9.2. It interops with other JVM lan…

llvm, clang, webkit... Directly benefiting FreeBSD: http://wiki.freebsd.org/BuildingFreeBSDWithClang They've contributed infinitely more than "nothing" back. Literally...

Ohh, looks like you are probably right. Mea culpa!

Yes, but we must solve the problems correctly. The question is whether a number is a power of two, not divisible by 2.

I've a few that I'd like to see used eventually: * inhaling.com - political satire? * awk.us - because awk is cool * grep.us - something unixy and searchy

It's tough to say. You really sound like a reasonable person and if you are the model customer you appear to be then I would probably side with you. I like a very simple rule: Cust…

I am a big fan of gnome-shell. I'll be an even bigger fan when it plays nicely with VirtualBox. Or is it VirtualBox that has to play nicely with gnome-shell?

Thanks for this. I just pulled down the molokai theme and it is very pleasant.

Many reasons come to mind, such as not wanting to live in the area you work (maybe you have kids the schools are bad, or the neighborhood isn't real good). It could be that living …
