Study: Women prefer geeky men to athletic ones – Odd News | newslite.tv
Study: Women prefer geeky men to athletic ones – Odd News | newslite.tv
Question is, why they think, geeks are DIY men in. I haven’t come across any such during the last 30 years, but maybe they know better.
But what about geeks, who are doing a regular work-out and are musicians as well? Poor “geeks-only”!

teaching Ruby in secondary education in schools
Are there any activities teaching Ruby in secondary education in schools, I mean anywhere on this planet? That could well start with a course introducing into software development. Is there any course material available?
We shouldn’t leave this field to PHP or whatever, right?!?

on the downside of non-private friend lists in web-2.0
Wherever I can, I set my friend-lists to private, but sometimes you think, this is professional land, it should not be necessary here, or you simply neglect it. It’s not that I am ashamed of my friends, it’s just, that I don’t force them to stand up for me and all of my cases. Most of them are not really as decided and minor-shy as I am.
Right now some raging “strangers” of the Berlin programming languages scene harvest my LinkedIn contacts list, contact them, and issue them an ultimata.
These are more perfect examples for my new project regarding civil rights.
But for the time being this a fierceful threat for someone standing up for a noble target.
Right, in the end this society will hopefully account these enemies of civil rights for their deeds. But it might take a little longer. The Evil will get held liable for their deeds in court, their names will all get made public sooner or later.

perlfork – Perl’s fork emulation
perlfork – Perl’s fork emulation
Picked this up on twitter from a conversation between 2 rather well-known hard-core Rubyists (and both certainly former hard-core Perl Mongers):
my mate James Edward Gray II (author of the Textmate book, author of the Ruby CSV library modules, renowned I18N guru, contributor to my FRITZ!Box call monitor, …) and Yehuda Katz (member of Engine Yard, Rails core contributor, …).SYNOPSIS
Perl provides a fork() keyword that corresponds to the Unix system call of the same name. On most Unix-like platforms where the fork() system call is available, Perl’s fork() simply calls it.
On some platforms such as Windows where the fork() system call is not available, Perl can be built to emulate fork() at the interpreter level. While the emulation is designed to be as compatible as possible with the real fork() at the the level of the Perl program, there are certain important differences that stem from the fact that all the pseudo child “processes” created this way live in the same real process as far as the operating system is concerned.
This document provides a general overview of the capabilities and limitations of the fork() emulation. Note that the issues discussed here are not applicable to platforms where a real fork() is available and Perl has been configured to use it.
