That sounds like an excellent reason to get more familiar with C++ and the LLVM code base. It's usually better to try...

The Natives are Restless!
Has anyone noticed over the years, that every time a major new CentOS release is just about to happen, suddenly there starts to be a few very long and drawn out threads? Has anyone ever considered that the core team is in fact monitoring this thread while trying to devote as much time as possible to actually getting the next release out the door? Could it possibly take longer for the next

response to The r3mix review (fwd)
...crap. This is exactly what the r3mix reviewer hit. The log sweeps, pure tones, etc, are a pathological case in which the beta code's short block trigger guesses wrong more than half of the time. It's just a bug. Naturally, since this is now the biggest Vorbis item being bandied about by detractors, we're fixing it ASAP :-P r3mix already said they're happy to test a new version of the encoder with the bug fixed. For comparison purposes, have a look/listen at: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/test.ogg ...and the included a plot of the frequency response. This is a pure tone logsweep...

[LLVMdev] me being stupid: me vs the llvm codebase...
oh, ok. actually, I had partly considered this approach at one point, but opted with the form I did instead (in large part because it does not involve such a tweak, or dependency on the previous location). of course, as noted, due to the possibility of function pointers, this is a little risky. I had not considered this issue previously, but it is definitely worth consideration... I guess the

[OT]] CentOS 7 docs, tutorials, etc...
...he is a RedHat employee that takes any implied criticism of his employer a little too personally. Whatever the case may be it is interesting that: 1. W. Woods first posted to the mailing list (under that name) this past July. 2. He has an utter fascination with things to do with SystemD and its detractors. Indeed that was the subject of his first post. 3. He has never asked, answered or added to a question of a technical nature in such a fashion as to provide a proposed solution or elaborate on a constructive approach to a problem. 4. The vast majority of his postings can, with the most charitab...

Who asking users to install native DirectX?
More and more poor clueless users getting to nowhere installing that stuff according to some howtos. Who are writing those? And why are they directing people to install it in the first place? The only person I've found who created that howto everyone links to - Tom Wickline states EXPLICITLY THAT THIS IS FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY!!! AND NOT TO BE USED WITH ANY REAL LIFE APPLICATION! Are

...endancy. There may be many more of us, it is true, but we no longer occupy the elite niches in which power is centralized. Even our ability to depict a positive image of ourselves to our own populations and to the peoples of the world has been wrested from us by the hands of powerful and persistent detractors. Examples of vilification of white men and elevation of Jews and other minorities are far too numerous to mention. The list of Holocaust and anti-Nazi films alone is massive.

MIT vs GPL vs LGPL for open source project
I intend to release a project I wrote with Rails. What is the right licensing scheme for a web application (content managing system) which could grow with plugins and add-ons ? Personally, I would prefer the GPL but does that mean any add-on to the CMS (like task management) will have to be GPL ? If some people contribute to the code could it still be double-licenced so that the people who

Advocating RoR in the enterprise?
Hi folks, I''m looking for advice on how to promote RoR in my workplace. Specifically, I''d like to work out a strategy for promoting development in Rails as a new alternative to our existing technology (the usual suspects... mostly Java/Oracle, .NET, PHP, and a bit of Perl here and there). Some background: I work for a fairly large state environmental agency as a web developer.
