today I was looking for a free collaborative code editor for Mac OS X, I don't really need it but I find the idea pretty charming. So I want to know you opinion about that: is there someone in real world who is using a collaborative code editor and gets some benefits out of it?
We use it over the Internet when discussing code via Chat/VoIP. Something along:
A: "If we change this to be an Integer the function gets much simpler" (Edit)
B: "Niftiy, but then we have to change it here, too" (Edit)
A: ...
If you're pairs programming it is very useful. The approach can be discussed and everyone can drive when they have ideas. I can't say I've had the privilege of using this at work.
I've found it fairly useful when putting together packing/todo/etc lists with my wife while at work. We use google docs, which isn't quite realtime, but it is definitely better than emailing back and forth throughout the day.

I am not able to find any definitive answer to what problem Julia solves compared to the two languages, I was told are most commonly used in working with data (data science), R and Python.
I am not asking for any opinions. Please support replies with factual information (sad I need to add this but it seems some people think this topic is opinion based).
Could anyone explain this?
The Julia Programming Language solves the same problems as R and Python. However, it can solve them extremely faster than those mentioned above, as it runs over C code and uses a JIT compiler. See the Julia Benchmark. This and other advantages that can be found at the language site, it's Twitter profiles: Julia Computing and Julia Language.

First of all, this is obviously for learning porpoises only. Don't be afraid to answer.
So anyway, is there a way for a man to hack a computer logging in, for example, to a garry's mod server hosted on my PC?
If there is, I am very interested on how this is working. Explanations will be welcome.
In general terms, yes, it's possible. Game clients receive data from their servers, which they expect to be in a particular format. If the server is modified to send mis-formatted data, the result could easily be to trigger a buffer overflow or other exploitable bug in the client.
See for example http://threatpost.com/researchers-discover-dozens-of-gaming-client-and-server-vulnerabilities/100744
Not sure about your locale, but most countries have a similar law to the UK's Computer Misuse Act. Which pretty much means 'hacking back' is illegal.
If you want to learn about exploits, and how to use them ethically - www.google.com is the place to start, try looking for 'ethical hacking course'

I would like to find a library for parsing and generating text in common lisp. I would like it to be maintained and documented and preferably with a community that could answer questions.
In the past I have used for the same job ANTLR/StringTemplate in Java and Boost.Spirit in C++. Both projects are well documented in my opinion. From what I am reading, Parsec for Haskell would also meet my requirements. But I have not found something similar for LISP. Perhaps lispers parse texts using their own hand-made parsers?
I am aware of this question, but the so-called documentation on smug is a technical report on monadic parsing, with examples in Haskell. The documentation of LispBuilder looks rather short also. Most projects in CLiki seem abandoned.
Which library would you recommend? The grammar I need to parse is not very complicated.

I'd like to learn and implement a simple CRM system just for my own knowledge. I don't know where or how to start.
Should I:
1) Copy SugarCRM? (I don't think I would learn much by copying...)
2) Learn the fundamental of CRM (what is it for, why there are x,y,z modules, what business problem it tries to solve?
Can someone recommend me something to begin with? Perhaps resources relevant to the fundamental of CRM (concept, as opposed to implement CRM using what's out there)?
PS: software stack doesn't matter
Thanks
What are you trying to gain from this exercise?
Are you trying to learn a specific language or programming environment by tackling an example project? Then I'd suggest you "scratch your own itch", i.e. program something that you would (or could) use yourself afterwards. If you have no use for a CRM system, do something else. If you need a CRM system yourself, I think you have a good grasp on what problems you need solved.
If you however try to learn about CRM in general, then yes, you should definitely try to read up on the basic concepts and fundamentals of it, instead of just programming one.

Does anyone know how to programmatically obtain TV listings for a particular time zone? Is there a service I can subscribe to?
Thanks.
Searching for TV Listings API has a lot of promising results, but I don't think you're going to find any free ones, for better or worse.
Check your cable provider or try to scrape off their sites?
As far as I searched, the only viable solution I've found is this one :
http://services.tvrage.com/
They provide a public API that is quite complete and updated regularly, but it's not timezone dependant.
I'm afraid that what you are asking is too specific.
Maybe you should create it yourself ? ;)
You could contact the team behind Zapping.io. They have an API for the television programming with metadata (actors, plot, posters and ratings)
