I don't understand a word, but it must have been funny: I can hear laughter at 0:58

I recently saw someone standing in front of a Mies van der Rohe building and call it ugly because the windows featured no curtains and no flower boxes.

Does anyone know if the Go standard library implements RE2? I'm asking because I know that Russ Cox is on the Go team and the documentation mentions RE2: http://golang.org/pkg/regexp/

There are two compilers that implement the Go 1 spec independently: the original Go compiler and Gccgo, official part of the GCC.

Duck types will take over the world?

How can this even exist without generics, template meta-programming or a turing complete type system? I doubt that they know what they're doing.

And you can send a channel over a channel or store it in a data structure or pass it to a function.

I would love to see a video of the actual talk. I have searched for it multiple times but I couldn't find anything.

> a MIT or LGPL license

GTK is LGPL licensed.

If this is the attitude of all community developers then free software UI will never become successful.

99% of Cinnamon is Gnome 3, the other 1% is heavily modified JavaScript wiring.

I guess they will do the same as Gnome Shell and use LLVMpipe

> Taking away those little checkboxes and toolbar buttons is like slamming the door on power users. You might win a billion non-technical users, but none of them will ever submit a single patch.

An experienced developer should be mature enough to know that he and his kind should not be the target audience of his product. And putting in all those little checkboxes makes a product a horrible experience for the rest of the world.

Unity 2D is deprecated: http://www.doadjustyourset.com/2012/07/16/ubuntu-tv-weekly-u...

"Since Unity 2D was depreciated for Ubuntu 12.10, much work is being done to port Ubuntu TV to Unity 3D"

What these articles never mention is a follow-up comment by Torvalds:

"And for all the people wasting everybodys time with "Why don't you use Unity/KDE/xfce/xyz" - I've tried them. They are even worse" https://plus.google.com/102150693225130002912/posts/UkoAaLDp...

Unity shares a lot of core infrastructure with Gnome. If Gnome has problems, Unity+Ubuntu will have problems as well. And Unity has the same bus factor and even less community developers or developers from other companies: if Canonical is hit by a bus (which is not entirely unlikely if it doesn't become profitable) the project is doomed.

The Community Edition is free of cost. The choice depends on what you need: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/editions_comparison_m...
