As far as I noticed it's just c-mode on Linux Mint.

I've had to revert back to emacs 23, because it seems emacs 24 has had a huge performance regression in its c-mode. Does anyone have any information about whether c-mode breakage in emacs 24 is a known/fixed issue?

Not all the alternatives: http://copy.com/ has a decent Linux client.

In such applications, I wouldn't even want to get the GC penalty, so I'd be constrained to a very small set of languages.

Most parts of most programs aren't performance centric and can take a hit. As evidence, see all the Ruby/Python programs that have constant penalties that go up to 200 in many cases.

> it's hard to think of any benefit to keeping the stale, no-longer-onscreen window around, Undo? No aliasing issues? Transactionality of the set of changes being done?

The lookup cost is O(logN). Why do you claim this is "usually unacceptable"? I think it is virtually always acceptable.

I wrote my own hash table[1], in the intrusive style, which puts the burden of checking for double insertion on the user. This allows me to do O(1) insert and delete and only rehash when expensive lookups due to collisions are encountered.

In the high tech sector? Definitely. The norm starts at 18pto for juniors and then it climbs up annually.

The US has a ridiculously low minimum for PTO and sick days. Israel has 12pto + 18 sick days iirc and I wouldn't work for an employer that gives so few days off.

Which company was it? They sound like they deserve the bad publicity. You might save someone else from ending up there too...

We're probably going to switch to a BSD license.

https://github.com/Peaker/lamdu/blob/master/config.json You can change it while Lamdu is running for immediate effect :-)

Our current thought is that single-parameter functions do not need an argument name. We might change a lot of our decisions later as we tune it for working with more realistic code.

That was a misleading sentence in the "Projucer" section, referring to Projucer. Fixed. Lamdu is open source.

How is Russia not giving fair trials relevant? You suggested he throw himself at the american system, which we both know won't give him a fair trial but will torture him and throw him to jail for the rest of his life whether he's

Do you want the NSA to keep on spying on US citizens without oversight, to turn over its data to US law enforcement for "parallel reconstruction"? Do you want to live in a total-surveillance society?

by Peaker 13y ago
Well, the NSA collected more data on US citizens than the Stasi ever collected on Germans.

Do you really believe the court system works to determine innocence? Do you believe he would be guaranteed a fair trial? Do you think Manning got a fair trial? Do you believe that by taking refuge in Russia he's "propping up"

IIRC the ARM ABI for C actually uses an implicit output parameter for a returned struct - so it's identical to passing the output parameters manually.

Your edit is correct, thanks for the correction!

Everyone hates the name mappend but it's still more commonly used than <> which iirc is relatively recent.

You're wrong. Operationally , it is equivalent to: int x_1d[8300]; Where x[a][b] is x_1d[a + 83*b]; An array of arrays is contiguous in memory. There are no pointers involved until you take the (r)value of the array or one of t

Gilad Bracha sounds like he hasn't used a typed language long enough to stop struggling with basic type errors. As such, it is of a position of extreme ignorance that he speaks of the uselessness of type checking and inference. Claimin

The word is encode, not emulate. Native support isn't any more concise, in fact it is more verbose when partial application is involved. So why complicate the language with native support for a feature whose encoding on top of one argu

It seems to me type classes have a superset of the features of CL multimethods. Why not compare them?

We must have different ideas about what "practicality" is.

I've learned Monoid in Haskell, not maths. It's just so simple and easy that there's really no dumbing down necessary. Monad is simple and hard, but Monoid is simple and easy.

"let a b c = ..." doesn't suggest other semantics. It's saying: "a applied to b, and then applied to c, equals ...". Note Haskell makes an effort to have the LHS of definitions imitate the exact syntax of funct

This is a very valid critique, but I don't remember ever hearing that (except from Haskellers!)
