So will there be code to turn LLVM IR into asm.js stuff? That would be pretty awesome (and a nice way to make Emscripten more accessible to other languages?).

Using GET to trigger horn honking... Not sure I'd consider that good REST practices. (At least honking the horn doesn't incur permanent state change; unlocking the doors is obviously not safe.) Edit: …

Also, ethanol.

Pretty sure LLVM has nothing to do with this, it's not currently used in PyPy. (Also, LLVM is not a language...)
comment
Yes, because it's actually implemented on top of PyPy, which is a very modern run-time with a state-of-the-art JIT and good garbage collectors.

I think this CipherSuite is actually better than what you have (and Qualys seems to think so, too): SSLCipherSuite ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:AES128-GCM-SHA256:RC4:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!EDH Also, I couldn't …

I just want to know if it does client-side encryption.

(I can read it; and, I also like the anchors in the main nav.) The pricing table seems a little silly, since most of the points are similar across all three price levels... It's a table for the table'…

Are you saying that Windows cannot support zero-cost exceptions? Do you have documentation on why that is?

I bet there are companies willing to pay you to work on an interpreter or compiler (though not necessarily any of the new-fangled ones that you consider awesome, I guess).
comment
So when I merge a pull request on Github, it's rebased, not actually merged?
comment
Yeah, not sure I see the point. Also, if this is supposed to be about all of Europe, you should've mentioned that in the title.

I like Pelican (for blogs). Python, reST + Jinja. Looks like your list is basically Ruby, Node and PHP, excluding all the Python and other language options.

Here's a link to the TACK draft: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-perrin-tls-tack-01
comment
I have no clue why one would want to use Authy over plain TOTP (as implemented by Google Authenticator, for example). Or, if Authy also relies on TOTP, why make a big thing out of it?
comment
Well, not to the memory problems. But I do think modern systems languages should be better about printing out stuff in the case of segfaults, for example. Not sure if Go and Rust do this stuff.

He recently gave a Haskell course there, I think. Bob Ippolito was talking about that.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's been on HN before (although I can't seem to find it now).

This page seems to crash the Gingerbread Android browser.

IIRC, typestate was one of the big things in the initial releases/presentations of Rust. Is there an overview/discussion/ideas on why it ended up being removed?
