So, they reinvented existential types?

You chose python for its performance ? Well, I guess it's no Ruby.

> Why can't we have simple, unambiguous syntax with no pitfalls in new languages? Yeah, s-expressions should be more widely adopted.

I don't think Minecraft ever got updated to using the correct APIs; I doubt this will either.

There's no necessity to keep your eyes on the road and still have that information available to you? It's not about 3D, it's about never having to look down at a dashboard instead of the real world.

Do these car huds use that parallax projection? The article made it sound like it was just a half-silvered mirror.

> Looks nice, but in debugging, you have no idea where we are going when you set a breakpoint at the switch. because the val is not an enum type, so debugger can't make the job easier for you. So .. move forward a step?

The Emacs code completion I use hooks Clang, which is the same thing XCode does.

Emulating a very simple computer like this isn't hard at all; it's basically just a big array for memory, a few variables for registers, and a switch statement for instruction handling.

A Clang backend means a LLVM backend, which I believe is a lot easier than extending GCC, and gets you support for all sorts of languages.

Not to mention storing passwords with a trivially reversible transform...

Really? Any idea why, when it excels so well speed-wise on Linux and OSX?

Disappointed to see no clang results, especially as he discusses compilation speed.

I think x86 is pretty strongly targeted to C, actually.

Would you rather use a program vetted by a wide variety of unassociated security researchers, or one whose manufacturer merely insists it was very careful programming?

No? Well, it'll certainly get them closer.

It doesn't matter whether they claimed output or efficiency. If the efficiency is currently on the order of 20%, then the output is about 0.2 times the energy absorbed. If we multiply that by twenty, we end up with an output 4 times the ene

The problem is having parties on both sides of the lawsuit present, and the hearing is about the TSA, so they can't very well be removed. If you're going to accuse people of failure to use logic, using a little yourself wouldn't hurt.

Not all functional languages run on the JVM or anything similar. In fact, most don't. See: Haskell, *ML, most Lisps and Schemes, ...

That's a silly argument. You could just as well say that the more things you launch that aren't a passenger-loaded vehicle, the more likely you'll have worked out the glitches by the time large numbers of lives depend on it.

Why more people don't stick 'emacsclient -t -a ""' in there, I'll never understand.

If so, would that make it illegal to redistribute code with a license like this?

First, bear in mind that there's no way to obtain or return an AST, so you're extremely limited in terms of what you can provide in a DSL. If you want to do anything beyond a certain level of complexity, the library user will have to pass i

The only glasses-free 3D tech I know of works by restricting the viewing angle of each of the two sets of pixels to such a small area that each eye gets a different set. That would make the viable "invisible" view positions even more constr

What? No it doesn't. There was one experimental commit of the very beginnings of DX support, and it hasn't been worked on at all since.
