I come to/. to read content directly from the home page. Not to look at irrelevant pictures on the side of truncated text, with most screen space wasted.
We come to/. because the home page has that classic style that makes efficient to quickly read news. Most of my "news for nerds" now comes from Twitter, more than Slashdot nowadays. I will much less reasons to come to/. if the classic style disappear.
The only *major* issue is that finding the documentation for all those COM APIs is hard. That documentation is not installed on the base system. You have to be a.NET expert to use them.
Perl 6 is an ambitious new programming language in the Perl family. Have you read the Perl 6 specifications? What do you think of the Perl 6, the language (syntax changes) and its new features (meta-operators, advanced OOP, built-in paralelism, signatures as first class objects, grammars)?
I'm working in France where the standard notice period for a skilled job like software developer is 3 *months*. This notice period works both ways: for the employee and the employer. If some party doesn't want to respect that period, the other party can require compensation.
So that zero days or two weeks period is so strange to me...
Slashdot uses Perl which is the programming language that has the best support for Unicode (while PHP support for this is comparatively almost inexistent). But that doesn't make Unicode work magically. The slashcode has to take it into account.
A few releases are missing in the partial Windows NT history mentioned in the article: - Windows 2000 - Windows XP - Windows Server 2003 - Windows Server 2003 R2 - Windows Vista - Windows Server 2008 And the Xbox.
This is exactly the same as Facebook, Google, and other social network do with their buttons. And this is in no way different from tracking by ad networks. Just use Ghostery.
If you want accurate time to fix the time of your watch, use the time displayed by a GPS. It comes from at least 3 different atomic clocks in satellite and your receiver has algorithms implemented to compute the UTC time very accurately (at least much more than what a website could display).
Linux may have worse power management than XP (especially if the manufacturer provides efficient Windows power management drivers, such as ThinkPad), but at least it uses the hard drive much much much less. And this alone should help to increase the practical usage of the battery capacity.
Nobody should contribute to a database that doesn't specify the license right on the front page. This site doesn't mention the license on the entire site. IOW, this is another "open" project that is anything but.
We are also bound to the 48 hours limit. But hours between 35 and 48 must be either overpaid or given back as vacation. And that 35 hours limit legally applies only to companies with more than 20 employees. Most other EU countries also have a similar limit, but above 35.
And most managing jobs have employment contracts that make the pay not related to the hours worked, so the 35 hours limit doesn't apply. In that case, most get about 2 weeks of additionnal vacation (in addition to the legal 5 weeks).
A fancy console would be nice as long as you can fall back to the old one. I'd hate to be locked out of a systems because some random video driver issue, font issue, unicode issue, or input device issue broke the new one.
It can already fail for such reason. However what could change is that the userspace console process could be killed by the OOM Killer.
Also make sure you're not dupilcating effort. If you're going to put the console in userland anyway, maybe make is share bits with your GUI.
There is effectively some potiential for better integration. What about a console running over Wayland?

I agree 100%.

This is not valid JSON : keys must be encoded.
s/encoded/quoted/
{
CustomerId : "ABCDEF012938487432112424242322426",
AllowExtendedConfiguation: "true",
IsMaximumLengthRequired : "true"
}
This is not valid JSON : keys must be encoded.
And it it inefficient to send boolean values as strings instead of booleans because that data type is fully supported in JSON.
{
"CustomerId": "ABCDEF012938487432112424242322426",
"AllowExtendedConfiguation": true,
"IsMaximumLengthRequired": true
}
Perl 6 has been "new" for 12 years now. It still doesn't have a complete implementation...
12 years later its promised features are still relevant. But more than that the project still advances. Check https://6guts.wordpress.com/
Python 3.3 has been released in September 2012, but the asynchronous features are not yet there.

Please tell us how PHP rocks to handle Unicode...
AFAIK the Linux kernel is not written in PHP...

And how do you measure on HTTP the transmit time and client side processing time to accurately fix the time received from the server?

In an ideal world, we would be able to eliminate CO2 from our atmosphere completely.
Please, stop breathing: your body (and especially your brain) is wasting O2, and rejecting too much CO2. :)
Bullshit.

I'm guessing it has not changed much because it's simple well understood.
