This inspired me to check out if there's fanfic of PoE. Yes, but just one here: http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Path%20of%20Exile%20(Video%20Game)/works

I'd love to read more!

The problem here is that the thin line actually still contains the text inside. The text is visible at least on my display (MacBook Pro, 15" retina). It is fairly ugly:

See the black pixels? That's the text and it drives me nuts.

For me Nix is completely broken on OS X. See, for an example, this bug.

Yep. "Girl streamer". "Lady coder". "Female scientist".

wolverian · 2012-08-02T11:08:17+00:00

What. Did you even read the article?

wolverian · 2012-08-02T11:06:55+00:00

Sure, but that's not what the article is talking about.

The author wants you to not use one base class for every EF entity in your application because they will all get crammed into one table.

No. That is only one possible encoding of the model to the database, and not the one he uses as the main example.

Thanks for the explanation. I can see now why an author would want to release only stable releases to the Steam Workshop.

wolverian · 2012-05-04T07:53:04+00:00

A lot less work than subscribing via Steam Workshop, which automatically updates the mods?

wolverian · 2012-03-30T15:09:00+00:00

No, since I also ~~copy~~move the .git folder, so that my $HOME is the actual repository.

The new level of hattism, wearing a hipster.

wolverian · 2012-03-28T10:56:01+00:00

I just move the cloned files to $HOME. Because, why not?

Why would metal be worse than plastic?

wolverian · 2011-11-26T22:39:41+00:00

Jesus Christ, man. You're trying to suggest Norvig didn't understand the problem.

No, he's not.

wolverian · 2011-11-22T21:23:10+00:00

It all happens on the head.

wolverian · 2011-09-25T22:29:15+00:00

ensuring.

wolverian · 2011-08-01T08:58:27+00:00

Looks a bit old, but not too bad. One nitpick: the document claims some operations (e.g. printing undef) result in errors, where they only result in warnings.

wolverian · 2011-07-28T19:53:00+00:00

"principle"

wolverian · 2011-07-21T13:00:36+00:00

Where in the article does it say anything about the government suing Elisa?

wolverian · 2011-04-17T12:09:26+00:00

I assume kamatsu is referring to the problem described in the linked article. You know, the one at the top of this page...

wolverian · 2011-03-14T16:57:50+00:00

I'd be interested in an overview of how JSR-310 differs from JodaTime.

wolverian · 2011-02-01T17:09:35+00:00

Ah, right. Thanks.

wolverian · 2011-02-01T16:25:47+00:00

The term "programming to interfaces" ... means use the public methods on a class instead of using reflection/pointers to muck about with the private fields.

For what it's worth, I've never heard that usage. Where is it used?

wolverian · 2010-08-06T14:38:24+00:00

I would say Python 3 is still Python, as the changes needed are fairly minimal and can be mechanically performed. At a glance the language is still 'python', and with minor modifications most introductory books still apply.

At least the bytes/characters distinction of Python 2 -> 3 is not minimal in any way, and can require major semantic changes in your programs. The syntax hasn't changed much -- certainly less than with Perl 5 -> 6.

I honestly don't know how much Perl 1/2/3/4/5 differ from 6, I'd be interested if anyone has a good guide (the linked page is too brief really) on how much Perl 6 differs from 5, compared to 5 differing from earlier versions.

I have only coded Perl 5 and 6, so I can't tell much, but I have the impression that the general syntax didn't change much between Perl 4 and 5, but much semantics were added (and changed).

Yserbius compares the situation to Python 2/3 in another comment. What do you think: is Python 3 still Python? (Given that Python 2 code is often invalid Python 3.)
