As someone who quite likes Qt, why should I prefer this over Qt5+QML? This whole React Native thing just feels like "let's reinvent Qt but slower and much less mature". Note: I really don't mean this in an inflammatory w

I'm glad it did though—this is awesome! Good luck with it, and perhaps I'll contribute something (do you plan for it to be garbage collected?).

For Haskell see https://hackage.haskell.org/package/vacuum-cairo (among other stuff, I think there's an OpenGL version) which lets you view live graphs of your data structures.

Obligatory "org-mode[1] does that very well". Anyway if you put two spaces after "another thing" ("2. another thing \nPlease clarify...") it should render the way you want. 1. http://orgmode.org&#x2

You usually just avoid them. Some (e.g. Factor) do offer pattern matching/multimethods which are generally much cleaner.

Wow, where are you? I haven't found any with shipping (to Denver CO) more than ~$100. $2k sure is a bit steep....

Woah. Where did you get it? Sounds cool. Do you run HP-UX on it or does some common Linux distro run well?

Yes, but the "could be interpreted as" operator, colloquially "sleep equals" is pretty obscure and not recommended for production: "thirteen" ~_~ 13

Oh, that actually makes a lot of sense. That also explains why they're used for checkwriting. Thanks!

There are dozens of us! You can get old SPARC servers super cheap on eBay too. I'm super tempted to get one. I was also trying to find an Itanium the other day but those are darn impossible to get. :(

Pfft try Haskell sometime. Everything that's even remotely Applicative seems to have a tendency to export 20 variations of <*>. Then there's Lenses, the coolest line noise you'll ever see.

I worked with a CRT monitor for a while (design job at a non-profit; I had 2 CRTs and a several year old Mac Pro—it held up very well though) and it was actually quite nice. - Non-16:9 aspect ratio. Photoshop is much nicer on 1600x1200 (rel

SQLite 4 is also designed, in part, to beat LevelDB (i.e. they explicitly benchmark the default storage engine against LevelDB)[1]. SQLite 4 looks pretty darn cool, is it still actively being worked on? Commits seem quite scarce[2]. -- 1.

Its grasp of language and context is surprisingly impressive, and definitely helped make it much more offensive. It'd just be a kid spouting profanities if it didn't have a rather decent understanding of language. From a purely ac

Because finding code that passes arbitrary tests is undecidable in the general case. (Same reason the pseudo-Idris language would have to be non-Turing-complete)

We could have something similar with full dependent types a la Idris: you could write a proof and search for a function that satisfies it. If such a thing were popular and huge amounts of Idris code were written, you could write only proo

How does that help? Besides they overflow to doubles if they get bigger than 2^31-1 anyway. The problem with a naive average like this is that if you're averaging a bunch of big numbers there is a very high chance of overflow when you&

I think Apple would probably just use ARM chips; they already have the license and they have lots of experience designing their own. OpenPOWER is awesome though. I'm hoping Talos will get enough interest; I'm ready to throw money

This is what a lot of non-JavaScript languages do. I suspect JavaScript ended up this way because people wanted to avoid downloading anything they absolutely didn't need in the browser. Now packagers can automatically remove unused fun

I don't believe pizza is trademarked or can be trademarked in any jurisdiction. On the other hand, apparently you can name a package twitter[1] without any problems. 1. https://www.npmjs.com/package/twitter
