Development tools on linux continue to be great. A visual studio quality ide would be nice, but realistically I'd continue to use vim and the terminal. What really irks me is the desktop environment situation. I haven't had a linu

For what? Most of openmp is useful because you can slap a pre-processor directive on a for loop and make it parallel. Rust has the ability to provide ergonomic fork-join parallelism at the library level. Right now collections that can itera

At worst firefox will use some of the libraries that come out of servo. Firefox is supposed to use the url parser from servo by 2016.

And the /bin symlinking... systemd and GRUB legacy were bigger. But about annually there's something arch land that will break even the most minimal installations if you aren't careful.

This is correct. I haven't had flash on my computer for nearly a year and I've been able to watch hd youtube videos in firefox.

In the windows 10 announcement they demoed a version of Office that supported the adaptive design. I don't know if they're dog fooding to get there though.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I opened a 26,000 line file (no I don't want to talk about it). In vim it opened instantly and my scrolling was only limited by my key repeat rate. The scrolling isn't as smooth looking b

LLVM isn't a vm like the others, its a generic compiler backend. Languages with LLVM backing generally compile to native.

Correct and there are games that model that behavior, for instance iterated stag hunt[1]. This shows the benefits of cooperation for pack animals much more than the classic prisoner's dilemma. Of course you could construct a more detai

That's not a problem with game theory. That's a problem with using overly simplistic games. You can easily model all of those punishments with different payouts in a game. In fact, when I studied it in school most of the games we

That story has never made any sense to me. The U.S. and Britain are far closer allies with a much longer history of extradition. If the U.S. wanted to extradite Assange they would have done it from Britain. Extraditing him to Sweden first o

The new pkg tool in freebsd is pretty good and meshes nicely with the ports tree. The marginal improvements for 3rd-party built packages with apt aren't really worth getting rid of the rest of freebsd for. It also doesn't help Ope

You can actually implement IO using unsafePerformIO fairly easily. There's a little bit of compiler magic for speed, but its not strictly necessary.
