> Sure it is. Why not? Do you have a reference for that? I'd expect this to be hard, at linking time you no longer have the C++ source, so it's much harder to make such decisions.

Yes for dead code elimination and function inlining, not so sure about escape analysis. The author acknowledges that, but there's a detail in Go: it does the function inlining at compile time (unlike e.g. Java JITs), but still manages

Don't forget about North Africa, i.e. all non-sub-saharan Africa. That probably has much better connectivity across the board.

While a certain increase in code size over hand-rolled Javascript is unavoidable, an optimized but uncompressed Haste program is normally less than 3x the size of an equivalent hand-written program, making the latency penalty

I'm weary of diagnosing behaviour that used to be considered within the norm, though maybe at the edge, as a medical condition. Asperger's has no clear measurable part to diagnose, it is not treatable per se, and its symptoms are

I think you're gravely underestimating the effects of propaganda and herd thinking. Significant parts of the US populace appear the seriously believe - despite undisrupted internet access - that evolution is a lie, the world has been c

That has the problem of separating the statement that is supposed to throw and then thrown exception. E.g. a slightly more complicated test case: @Test(expectedExceptions = FooException.class) public void test() { firstDoThi

The problem is simply that the "differentiated experiences" end up being bad. Bad UX, bad integration in the platform, bad functionality, often gratuitiously duplicating existing features. If the manufacturer/carrier addition

I cannot comment on Chrome itself, but internal C++ development at Google has a pretty comprehensive array of checks, both static and dynamic.

Here's something I just don't understand about this: How could anybody ever just "opt out" charge you money for anything? Charging somebody requires a contract between the two parties. That doesn't need to be writte

As others have noted, macros in theory could really help with that. But with macros in practice, I wouldn't be so sure. Macros essentially add syntax to languages. Syntax to help with common tasks is nice, but if you end up with lots o

Last I heard, browser vendors are waiting to be able to drop XSLT. XSLT is a functional language with a very weird syntax, and a very domain specific default mode - transforming XML trees in streaming mode. XSLT was the translation of SGML&

It could be made to work technically, certainly. But it'd be a complete mess of a code base. Code is read much more often than written, easily understanding a code base is incredibly important, and really hard in larger systems. If eve

This sounds plausible, though there might be many factors playing into this. Most of Eastern Europe has probably experienced a massive increase in wealth and life expectancy after the Cold War, perfectly lining up with the graph diverging s

I think you just listed a whole bunch of reasons why that legal system is broken. It's IMHO quite questionable whether such a law suit must be insanely complex and involve hundreds of thousands of pages of documents. And then subsequ

Many other languages and projects use underscores to indicate private properties, in particular Google's Closure. I also have no idea how standardizing on _ in names meaning private would do anything to push Dart in some hidden, evil a

NFS, really? An attempt to abstract over network semantics using the same API as regular file systems, leading to random performance, a heap of locking issues, and all kinds of mayhem? Sun indeed produced a lot of really great software, but

Apart from the backdoor, this code seems completely ridden with bugs. E.g. if(strstr(header, "User-Agent:") != NULL) { http_request_t->0xD0 = header + strlen("User-Agent:") + strspn(header, " \t

It's the exact opposite. The better code gets quality wise, the easier it gets to read and understand. There are situations that require using somewhat surprising language features occasionally, but quality code will limit them to smal

Never invest in a company that doesn't provide a genuine profit to its customers (and other stakeholders). Businesses are cooperative relationships between stakeholders, if a business just exploits its customers, it won't be a bus
