   Yeah, I’m gonna disagree with the “paste, paste, paste “ / “generate mass spam” school of development here. Many feel like you, though. I just don’t want to maintain their effluent.

   How does this compare to package managers such as Maven (Java) or CPAN (Perl)? What is the vetting process for other package managers?

   Thanks for links to accurate information, those who posted TL;DR - most of what is added in 2019 I can already do with Ramda.js, and it works in IE11, as well. Pity about the Ruby / Groovy style dot-condition-chaining NOT being in the

   Some of us consider “class” a bad thing. I would rather work in a language/style that draws its inspiration from Scheme than Simula 67. Too bad more places are picking up TypeScript rather than ClosureScript.

   My brother likes his job making truck parts. Anecdata, but in line with what you said.

    Predicate builder type stuff is probably the reference. Whether or not parallel arrays of template and value pairs to be anded together is better or worse is debatable.

    Alas, so true. I tolerate an ORM at work. Secretly loathing it. Like much of industrial programming.

    I know, this is a recurring discussion. Both sides continue to distrust the other, though.

    Yep. I’m an ORM-hater, too. Feels like “leaky obstruction”, to me. But there’s got to be some reason people keep embracing it, even if I’m not one of them. Possible reasons, which you can rephrase as productivity virtues, if you are so in

    Have they given up Bin Laden yet? Isn’t it just a little ironic that one of our “allies” was harboring OBL? Lesson learned: nukes are a VERY effective deterrent to foreign invasion. That’s what we’re teaching countries in the Middle East.

    I believe it was about 4 degrees C warmer than now two interglacial periods ago Most critters got through it, even hominids. The opportunity is slowing global warming down enough to match the upcoming ice age, not too soon, not too late.

    Reading the data structure within the string is rather a nuisance, I think. It’s worth noting the caveat that there is a minimum size where this trick has a noticeable effect, though. I understand the original comment’s fear of abuse. Nice

    I guess somebody needed to do that, but I am totally with you that this sounds like a follow up request or read for metadata to me.

    Thanks, gotcha. Half byte for on/off header, half for channel, byte for the note/pitch, byte for the velocity. This snippet probably xmits even faster at higher bps.

    To clarify, I mean for audio. For MIDI it works well enough most of the time. I think note-on/off messages are 3 or 4 bytes, though, which is quite a bit less of a chunk to buffer and verify or whatever Bluetooth does

    I don’t always want to carry around an audio interface, though I do have several.

    If you do any kind of music creation on your mobile device, Bluetooth is completely unacceptable. When you push a key/knob, you want to hear the sound NOW, clearly. One of iOS selling points is music production, otherwise, save the mon

    If they had done a bit earlier (than 2003?) they would have made Java redundant :-) XML : JCL Bean : Copybook Service : COB file View/page : 3270 form Etc.

    Did later versions of COBOL ever get parameters and local variables? Obviously that implies having stack allocation and not just setting the data division size at startup...

    As an example of the “OOP according to Java (and C++)” culture that is making JavaScript tedious to work in. I want move past the “bad OOP” stuff shoved down my throat 30 years ago, into a style that is more FP oriented.

    Method implies use of this, which implies they are probably not first class - such would be functions cannot be passed or returned, as the this reference won’t be bound if called as a function.

    Well, I myself am certainly interested in going down that route, eventually (vs AngularJS, or, yikes, Angular 2+), BUT, it appears that’s not a popular opinion on a post about Typescript and React. I don’t seem to encounter many type and na

    I don’t know how common it is. All I know is that I had a short gig last year to do a code review on a potential acquisition, so this can happen at least sometime. This was for a much smaller product, though.
