If somebody put something online fifteen years ago, they might not care about it anymore, but I might. With the current web, I can mirror that content by downloading it and putting it on a new server. With this system, that process would be

I've got half an hour's walk to work every morning. It's a great way to start the day, especially because the route is through a couple of parks. It clears the mind and wakes me up. I really can't imagine living in a pla

I suppose the main difference is the presence of algebraic data types. But does that even make sense without static typing?

Having worked with Scala a lot recently, I've found that the ability to turn logic issues into type issues is an incredible gain for my productivity. OCaml programmer Yaron Minsky summed it up nicely with the advice that you should &qu

Haiku does not contain any code from BeOS, except the filemanager and launcher, which were open souced by Be before they folded. It is a complete rewrite, done by volunteers.
