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 more about the impression of the community and where

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 they can be with the language. I don't need to

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 than other animals. Not because so many of them d

..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?

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 tracked via another method unless I go out of my way to alwa

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

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 - what's it supposed to do? There's very

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, there will always be another progressio

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 a longer-term goal in mind...random expo

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. Their views on jurisdiction matters seem to be remarka

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 new HEAD with a different SHA - this is why reba

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.

I mostly like it, with one glaring exception: The auditorium photo. The instant I got to that, it stopped looking like a language homepage and started to feel like a site that was trying to sell me something. Not one of the other language p

IME the main thing that makes git so hard to understand is the determination to think of it as "distributed subversion" - I find it substantially easier to teach git to people who've never used a VCS before than to people who

I've asked this a time or two, and the answers I've received so far have always boiled down to: "I don't know how to use git" or "I don't know how to alias complex commands I use frequently" Maybe you

The fact that they thought their research would get a negative reception clearly shows they're not cynical enough: They were providing a cast-iron case for everyone in the field to say "We need more funding to do new research&quot
