Because that’s a thing that our leaders now have to promise in the democracies that we’re living in?

Could you please explain the `o//` “convention”?

It also worth noting that the specification’s author also built his company on this single implementation.

Definitely suicide.

”Writing Good”, there, I fixed it for you.

gets

That means it’s working as intended, right?

Ah, the times we live in!

Out of interest, what breaking changes have been introduced to C in C99 and C11 (I’m assuming we’re using C89 as a baseline) beyond changes in corner cases in tokenization due to the introduction of “//” comments (and perhaps the removal of gets)?

Couldn’t you just write your “LaTeX Math” for LaTeX instead?

I don’t understand figure 5. The left and right images are not only of code that’s not highlighted and that’s highlighted, it’s for two completely different functions. Of course eye tracking is going to be different.

Even though it’s not really worth noting due to the first issue, the right example also seems to require more focuses (87 over 65)?

”Punkt” means ”point”, as in ”that’s it”. The prices certainly puts everything into question.

It was worse than that. Someone wasn’t worried. Instead of acting, by, say, trying to talk to the kid in the car or perhaps just calling the cops, they “recorded the incident using a phone’s camera, and had then contacted the police”. Baffling.

By the way, this is what I think of every time I hear someone use the phrase ”a good samaritan”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIVB3DdRgqU

I agree. Sadly, similar services don’t generate results even approaching those of Google Code Search. The interface was also a lot better than that of its competitors. That’s not to say that it couldn’t be improved, but if there wasn’t time or resources for that, then they could at least have left it running.

One of the best resources for ”programming by example“ is now gone and the world is worse of for it.

Ouch. Was it that unfunny?

Can someone edit the title to read “Linus Torvalds on the ‘OpenBSD crowd … of masturbating monkeys’ (2008)”?

Has anyone considered that crap like RubyGems, RVM, and Bundler is a symptom of us as rapid (read: careless) developers not being able to manage our code and our releases in an organized and well-ordered manner, not a symptom of poor package management by distributions?
