If you need something more customized, the python integration coming in HEAD gives you access to the internals without having to speak C++. It's still not quite done, but it'll give you enough power to do whatever you want.

Also, you'd be amazed at how much control you have over the underlying system in Clojure; you just rarely have to wield it.

Prophet is a lightweight schemaless database designed for peer to peer replication and disconnected operation. Prophet keeps a full copy of your data and (history) on your laptop, desktop or server. Prophet syncs when you want it to, so you can use Prophet-backed applications whether or not you have network.

Children have surprisingly perceptive risk intuition. They know when parents are serious about a threat and when their threats are empty. And they respond to the real risks of parental punishment, not the inflated risks based on parental rhetoric... There have to be real consequences.

Perhaps none of it matters. All of this assumes that Congress knows what it's voting for in the first place.

"If every member pledged to not vote for it if they hadn’t read it in its entirety, I think we would have very few votes." --Stenny Hoyer, referring to a 1,500-page health-care reform bill coming up in the House (http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=50...)

It had to be HN! :-)

Quoted-printable breakage is not a major problem in the long run, but if there isn't a good reason for the violation, then why not fix it? It may have just been oversight.

I used a provocative title because I wanted people to read it, mod it up, and allow fb engineers the chance to speak for themselves. If no one found it compelling then it wouldn't have garnered any karma and you wouldn't have seen it.

What exactly does this mean? How does a libc "support" a shell? I thought it was the other way around. Clearly tons (all?) of shells already run on glibc systems. Is this something that's only relevant for embedded systems?

Someone did ask for the latter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Reinvestment_Act

You can't post pictures of stuff to sell? That's what half of craigslist uses flickr for.
