I just downloaded it because its been bogging down my machine. Its running notably smoother and quicker but I've got a regression on how its rendering the document I'm working from. Whats really stinks, its an internal document so I can't

If I'm not mistaken, ruby and python both offer similar ideas. I've only used both passingly

So whenever people ask me about Go, I try and get them to keep in mind this isn't meant to be a competitor to python/ruby or any of that. Approach it from the mindset of a C guy and it will look amazing. The biggest benefits over python/r

Not all of us run Windows. I used Linux through my whole degree. Luckily my CS program was very good about very rarely requiring closed source or windows only software. There was only once, for some software engineering course, that I ha

I really like the blog and its my go to site for legal software news and I don't think there is some kind of higher power backing it but I'm still very careful with everything I read there. I haven't seen any evidence of corporate backing,

Whoa, I didn't know about being able to import packages from a URL. That is pretty slick.

I looked but didn't see it listed any where. Any android support?

Its disappointing in the short term, but look at the big picture. All this extra interest and purchases from the private sector if handled correctly will let them buy in bigger bulks, twist more arms in manufacturing, and find and fix more

They talked a fair amount about it on Marketplace, a public radio show about business and economics. Still isn't exactly mainstream but its outside the tech news circle.

Just because those didn't come with threats doesn't mean all attacks come without threats. Also it doesn't prove that all threats won't be followed by an attack. The unibomber is one example. He would send mail bombs if newspapers didn't h

If I remember correctly... it was because they were offering free hosting to political groups and someone was using it to host bomb plans without them knowing. I'm sure the time I'm thinking of had to have been before 2004 because I remembe

Again? Didn't they get all their servers seized back in the late 90s early 00's too?

It helps though. High adoption, especially with bigger companies, leads to my eyes on the code which can cause a higher quality run time. It also means there are more tools, frameworks, reference books, and ultimately jobs out there for i

I've got a feeling its a few marginal cases of completely terrible employers who are doing it and it makes a good news story.

Go look at that thread too. It is ridiculous. He's a brand new user who just started one thread called "IAMA someone who 'leaks' information about Microsoft's future plans. AMAA" and in it he says "I do not work for Microsoft, any of it p

Ah for some reason I had in my head the bootstrap was a smaller, simpler compiler. Thanks for the link and clarification.

I thought gcc built its own bootstrap compiler to do the heavy lifting of the build. Can LLVM not build the bootstrap compiler or was I mistaken in thinking this?

You really don't care as much when its got mains power but not all of these devices are plugged in. You will see them a lot in simple hand held consumer electronics like garage door openers, remote controllers, wireless mouses, kitchen tim

Its true. I know Houston is that way and there might be more, smaller cities.

You can have an OS running and not have it 100% stable for long term with small latent bugs. I've actually got a prototype board I'm working on right now that runs Linux just fine but will lock up and need to be rebooted every few days. Bu

If I remember right, last time I got samples from TI they shipped from them and not from digikey. Its been a little bit. Location might play in to it some, I live about 15 min away from their headquarters.

With things like this I'd rather wait for the 2nd or 3rd run anyways. They are a small group who are doing this on a shoestring budget for a price point with a tiny profit margin and targeting a highly technical audience; I won't be shocke

Agreed. I use it on Linux and OSX and my only real beef with it on OSX is that it runs under X11. Id rather the mildly clunky OSX interface where I know where everything is than a total new foreign web interface. I guess its just a matter
