Don't worry, they have collected enough little trees during the Olympic games opening ceremony.

Filter spam, Parse binary files, catalog MP3s, stream MP3s over a network, and provide a Web interface for the MP3 catalog and server.

Do you know you could have a X230t for 160$ on ebay ?

Can you provide stats of the best services availability ?

This is just the end of the World...

Why use a GPL license ? This kind of port could have been the occasion to get rid of this type of license.

Why port Emacs to Rust ?, it adds no value to users. Why not develop a modern GUI like Intellij IDEA with a Common Lisp implementation underneath like SBCL ?

I don't understand when Chris Wellons find the time to write all those fine blog posts.

It reminds me of Amstrad PC1512 in 1986 [1]:

"Whereas IBM's PC (and almost all PC compatibles) had a power supply in a corner of the main case, the PC1512's power supply was integrated with that of its monitor. The monitor had sufficient venting to cool itself by convection, instead of needing a fan. The PC1512 was therefore quieter than other PCs. Rumours circulated that an Amstrad PC would overheat, and while existing owners would note that this did not happen, new buyers were discouraged. As a result, later models had a cooling fan integrated into the main case."

Do not mistake "simple" for "simplistic".

I was in the same mood. Now I 've stopped coding for a living (you can try management, presales,...) and at home I do what I like (exploring data structures and algorithms) with the tools (Emacs) and languages I like (Common Lisp)

Open Source tools are way behind commercial software. Just look at PolySpace Code Prover for example:

ou PolySpace bug finder :

Design is a kind of Constraints Satisfaction Problem (CSP).

It's just classic sovereignty.

I just see a donut.

"Do pair programming with an employee"

If you are a 100% manager, then you will not be able to pair program for a long time as your programming/technologies competences will fade away quite rapidely.

As a french, being enslaved by a german kaiser is not what I call a "petty dispute"

Why sept 1st ? Why not november ?

The end of the vax platform !

TL,DR : Guido.

When Guido Van Rossum will tell Python 2.7 is now PyPy or when he will say "we don't support python2 anymore", then pypy will become the python2 de facto standard.

It would be nice to have the inverse: write in plain english what you want and it gives you the crontab line.

It's a problem of speed of changes, old people can't have a true discussion to young people anymore.

French is one of those dying tongues. In France we don't speak french anymore, we speak franglais, a mix of french and english words.

"I think every developer should get to a point, at least once in their life, where they're just sitting in front of the computer with no external distractions"

Well, that's why I use Emacs in full screen mode, without menu bar or tool bar, with a very minimal .emacs configuration and only reference documentation inside Emacs in info format.

The author forgot to mention the most used Lisp dialect: Emacs Lisp.

And Pascal invented the calculator

The rule should be "Ask 'why' at least five times" !

Well, as an autocad replacement you have:

and as a Photoshop replacement, you have things like :

And yes, there are people using these online tools.

Volvo, Renault, Mercedes, Jeep, Hyundai, Citroen, BMW, Mazda, Fiat, Ford and Peugeot have not used fraud to pass the tests. You are citing studies using different test conditions than the official test.

Please, don't call it 'dieselgate' as it is only a VW group fraud.

"Be publicly available" you mean available to everybody on earth even though they have not funded it ?
