Given voat's new community that content will be everything from the more "friendly" organizing harrassment and doxxing people to child pornography. Nobody in his right mind is ever going to knowingly host them for long.

In the real world organizations are still stuck on Windows XP and especially in large organizations it can take months or even years until everyone is upgraded. Windows 10 being free matters to users at home and small businesses, it doesn&#

Nim doesn't have the same popularity. There aren't a lot of people that know the language, that makes hiring people that do difficult, it means there may be nobody at Github that does either and due to it's lack of popularity

Go is more high level and doesn't offer a similar level of control. Go is an obvious candidate that should be evaluated but it's not an obvious choice the same way that Rust is going to be and C is.

by DasIch 11y ago
What is the alternative? Rust isn't there yet when it comes to IO and there are certainly no other languages that qualify and allow a similar level of control.

Germany backed off nuclear power in the 90s long before Fukushima. That process was merely slowed down before Fukushima and set back on track afterward. This has to also be kept in mind when considering nuclear power in Germany. The nuclear

Not every country has it's own but quite a few do, like Germany for example.

Fair-use is not a universal thing. The US has it but Germany for example doesn't. In these countries things like Let's Plays are copyright violations.

Unless you have the right to do so because you are the copyright holder or have a licence you can't distribute code no matter whether you have access to the code or not.

I was indeed confused by the terminology. Thank you for the explanation.

So you could use this to implement fork without sharing signal handlers and files? Given that the latter two seem like the biggest issue with fork why is - to my knowledge - nobody using this?

Just having the ability to perform such optimizations requires an architecture that is sure to have some overhead no matter which optimizations, if any, are actually executed.

My driver's license (I'm German) cost me about 2000€ ($2181.75). As a teenager unless you live in a city like Berlin, one of your primary financial concerns is getting enough money together to pay for your driver's license an

_ is just a name and using it for values you are not going to use is after assignment is a convention in Python, Haskell and probably other languages that support pattern matching or destructuring. Keep in mind this also comes up in cases l

Almost all interpreters compile an ast to an "assembly code" that gets executed. CPython even executes that assembly code without seeing the source at all just like Java.

The difference between a virtual machine and an interpreter being?

That has nothing to do with being dynamic or not. Besides your example translates quite nicely to Python as well: [bestPrice, secondBest, _*] = getCheapestSellers('product_name')

There is a huge difference between an interpreter with a JIT compiler and an interpreter running on another interpreter that has one. These are not equivalent at all.

Codepoints and characters are not equivalent. A character can consist of one or more codepoints. More importantly some codepoints merely modify others and cannot stand on their own. That means if you slice or index into a unicode strings, y

by DasIch 11y ago
I used strings to mean both. Byte strings can be sliced and indexed no problems because a byte as such is something you may actually want to deal with. Slicing or indexing into unicode strings is a problem because it's not clear what u

Of course that's OK. In Germany not only is it legal it is illegal to include clauses in an enmployment contract that forbid this (unless you get paid for the time in which you are not allowed to go to the competition).

My complaint is not that I have to change my code. My complaint is that Python 3 is an attempt at breaking as little compatibilty with Python 2 as possible while making Unicode "easy" to use. They failed to achieve both goals. Now

by DasIch 11y ago
There is no coherent view at all. Bytes still have methods like .upper() that make no sense at all in that context, while unicode strings with these methods are broken because these are locale dependent operations and there is no appropriat
804.
by DasIch 11y ago
Python 3 doesn't handle Unicode any better than Python 2, it just made it the default string. In all other aspects the situation has stayed as bad as it was in Python 2 or has gotten significantly worse. Good examples for that are path

Ownership/borrowing enforced at compile time doesn't exist in any other (practical) language. Though C++ has some runtime support for it and in C you would/should do it by convention.

It's not that I believe Microsoft to be dumb. However the entire page makes it seem like what they've done is somehow incredibly innovative even though it is clearly not.

The problem is that there are more issues than that and overall at least comparatively Germany is doing rather well at the moment. Our current government consists of a large coalition between the SPD and the CDU/CSU. A government in wh

A battery change of a pacemaker or an ICD is required every 6 years or so, if not later. You may need to change settings far earlier than that.
