This does not deserve to be downvoted. Driving too slow is as dangerous as driving to fast, or more dangerous. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_curve

No types, a very minimal syntax, a standard library so slim that everything interesting is a implementation-detail. And, as I a said, javascript has less. Javascript even lacks integer variables, while scheme has the numeric tower. (Althoug

Look at purescript. In order to install this madness you need to install not less than 5 package managers, but you might like it.

It's not a bad language, but it's not good either. But who is it powerfull? It's a very poor man's scheme, and scheme is not powerfull either. If javascript has anything to over it's IMO simplity and not power. But

It's the current fad. But nothing new. Since the beginning of computing the tides go from thin-clients and fat-clients back and forth. Currently fat-clients are en-vouge.

Well, try it yourself :). Make sure to make it blind-test with the help of somebody else. Ideally such things would be subject to scientific studies. But these are kind of expensive and nobody cares for mp3 anyway. I'm not aware of any

by 1ris 11y ago
That's not true. MP3 simply never gets transparent and you can notice with 5 dollar in-ears. And people in general notice. This leads to absurdities such as bitrates of 320 kbps, even thou these do not sound significantly better than 1

What should these companies responses be? And why should the kazach goverment care? They'd prefer if the poeple used russian (or kazach) copy cats like vkontakte anyway.

It's just plain obvious that decoding a gif into a frame buffer is simpler than merely parsing the xml. Not to speak of rendering the vectors and animating them. For rending each pixel in the frame buffers has to be set at last once, f

They only need one original precedent. If they get that, apple will have to stop all the others.

That's only offline sales. They know this business is dead and aggressively push their online services. I don't see a downward trend in their over-all profits: http://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studi

It's kind of ironic that the SVG animations stutter a way more than the gifs on my i5 while the text advertises svg as smoother. Reminds me of a text about typesetting. The author was surprised that newepaper publishers switched from P

As I understand it, this is not "somewhat unpleasant" or something a pedant would notice, but absolutely horrible. Most elementary students would notice and dislike kerning like this https://static.flickr.com/55&#x

I wonder, how does the logo work? Does the original, latin "CNN" logo mean anything in the arabic logo? Or is it arabic and latin smashed together?

I highly doubt we can downsize the brain that much without serious drawbacks.

I think this article is missing a description of the phenomenon "accidentially turing-complete". Configurations langues or DSLs that over the time evolved and somehow got turing complete. I suspect these are the most common turing

It mostly is. But sitting on your soles does change the proportion of your feet. I (and I think most other people) can't do that because my lower leg is too long.
