Re: Hiring Nim Devs for Ethereum Implementation

How about Apache v2? It makes it harder for patent lawyers to screw people over 
and it is even one-way-ompatible with GPL3, unlike most of the more relaxed 
licenses, including copyfree ones.


TCT clutch failure, only 15k miles done!

2017-12-11 Thread adam1002
2015 Mito quadrifoglio, TCT box, 15k Miles covered. Stuck in rush hour traffic 
this morning, noticed a very bad acrid smell coming into the cabin. Thought I 
even saw a small amount of (oily??) smoke coming out from under the bonnet. I 
took it to the Alfa workshop & the very helpful guy ( many thanks for your 
help, didn’t get your name) there immediately identified it as a clutch issue! 
As it’s still covered by the original warranty, he advised I get it to an 
authorised AR dealer ASAP. So then, a 2year old Mito, only 15k miles on the 
clock & with the TCT box, I can’t see how the clutch could be 
thrashed/knackered. With a manual clutch, ok, resting your left foot in the 
pedal can accelerate the clutch wear, but not with an auto box, surely?? Anyone 
else had extremely early clutch failure with the TCT box? Also, I hesitate to 
ask this, but experience with claiming through the Alfa warranty? How helpful— 
evasive are they? All opinions welcome. HELP!!

@stisa I still had the error after adding it to tekst and rekjister (either 
because I use VCC or maybe I did it wrong), so I added it to typerekjister and 
kueues too (maybe pointlessly?) and then it works. Many thanks! Now I actually 
start working on my actor system, which was my goal when starting with Nim.

I got it to compile, but it fails a Runtime when unpacking an Option.

The problem you have (I think) is that the hash proc is not exported from 
`typerekjister.nim`, so it's not visible from `kueues.nim` and your tables 
implementation can't find it.

The changes I made:

`typerekjist.nim`: 


export hash, id # export from tekst and rekjster


`tekst.nim` (note the export markers, I'm not sure why these where needed): 


type
  SharedText* = object
txt*: cstring
txthash*: Hash
txtlen*: int


Now it fails (at runtime) with:
