13 tons out of the expected 100k didn't get reinspected due to an administrative error with the importing company. You'll be fine, enjoy the quality meat.

It can, until the extension developer receives a tempting offer for it, as has happened countless times
Many people enjoy working with it, it's perfectly fine for almost everything and it's fast enough? I mean, why not?

Other apps bundle entire runtimes for other languages, I don't see how PHP would be any different

Analysis paralysis is very cruel. Many of my side projects died because of this, or just got stuck in development hell, even while interest was high.

Looking back, some would have made good money if I had just released them

Google Voice is US & Canada only, I believe.
The fact that this has been going on for several years makes me believe Google either doesn't care or the problem is particularly hard to fix (less believable)

I managed to snag my (very common) italian last name. I get a flood of messages every day. I both love and hate my account.

I don't even speak italian!

Not only this is not recent, it has nothing to do with politics or ideology, at all.

No-go zones have been used all over the world for decades.

Re:Ask HN: Is any of Dave Cutler's code open source? on Saturday April 16, 2016 @01:22AM (#11509437)
Quick warning to people wanting to take a look: This code is part of a famous code leak that happened 12 years ago, in which large portions (a 200mb rar file) of the Windows NT/2000 source code found its way to the internet thanks to a company named Mainsoft being hacked. You'll notice that there's a bunch of .eml files.

There's actual kernel code in here, reading this code could most likely prevent from working on WINE or ReactOS and who knows what else could apply under your jurisdiction.

It's funny that his code is right there for us to see, but we shouldn't see it!

Re:Godot game engine reaches 2.0 on Tuesday February 23, 2016 @09:08AM (#11158845)
Looks like it is going to happen next.

From the post:

> Godot community keeps growing and users keep producing more assets, scripts, modules, etc. we are in need of an unified platform for sharing them. As such, we will be working towards having an asset sharing platform (website + REST API + Godot integration) for 2.1. The built-in platform will be free (it will be integrated with GitHub), but we will make sure that the REST API is well defined so anyone can make a commercial asset sharing platform and integrate it with Godot.

SEEKING WORK - Argentina

My name is Victor, a 31 year old developer living in Argentina.

I'm a generalist developer and has been for over 13+ years now, officially (career-wise) working as a frontend and backend developer with PHP, MySQL, HTML, JS, etc.

Unofficially, but decent: Android apps (native and web based), C#, Python, PostgreSQL, GIS and a bit of 3D development (Unity and WebGL). I also enjoy setting up and managing servers.

My timezone is beautifully aligned with most of the US and my starting rates would make patio11 cringe.

I'm looking for small gigs at the moment. I can whip up small prototypes and MVP's and I can do quick experiments with ease.

You may contact me at ar_freelancer AT yahoo.com

Thanks for the opportunity!

The only reason you are being bitten by those two points is because the developer is being lazy and neglectful of user experience.

Making those two issues dissappear takes about 6 hours of developer time.

Microsoft provides free* virtual machines, each with a specific version of IE. Not quite the same thing though, but they are actually pretty cool.

* not sure if an enterprise can use them though.
