Which is fine if you're using Haskell. I'm not sure I see the case for something like this if you're not using Haskell. Adding another package management system (cabal) into the mix seems like a lot of work. Of course I don

The Manual[0] contains an intro that isn't particularly compelling. It contains things like: phony "clean" $ do putNormal "Cleaning files in _build" removeFilesAfter "_build" ["&

Goal The user is supposed to be never needing to call clean goal. Does this track build tools also? If you upgrade a compiler and some intermediate binary format changes, will it automatically clean up those stale files?

It's less of an issue now than it was a few years ago. But again context is key. Try "go observer" vs "golang observer". If your go app is having issues with a firewall you might search "go firewall" whic

The whole "Fast Lanes" argument is really just imposing "Slow Lanes." It feels like the ISP claiming its not their fault they don't have the capacity to provide the service they already sold to the customer. I thin

So it appears you're right. For things for which you don't care about any value returned this is the case. The reason I haven't run into this is for the most part things that can error, they also return a value that matters

fmt.Fprint(os.Stdout, "Something\n") By itself isn't a valid statement. You try to compile that and you'll get an error saying unused return value. So you'll try: err := fmt.Fprint(os.Stdout, "Something\n&quo

Yeah. The only caveat I'd give is a bit of a stretch. Not explicitly error handling, but you can lookup maps as: j := m["root"] or j, ok := m["root"] Again, this tangential to the subject at hand. But this is the

Panic is not exit. http://golang.org/pkg/os/#Exit is exit Panic is throw. Recover is an isomorphism for catch. For the most part. You have to explicitly ignore error codes in go. (Not that you can't handle

Nobody claimed that mobile apps were all part of the web. The argument was in the context of cdixon argument (more people using the native versions of webby things on mobile than browser versions), maybe we should consider those native app

It makes sense that it wasn't covered. Its really specific to a non-CS domain (Business). You probably learned image-processing techniques, but not how to use photoshop. You might have learned how to use acid-compliant databases, no

So I wouldn't confuse invariants w/ type assertions. Clojure does have separate type assert/checking in core.typed. Yes one thing you might use :pre/:post for is type checking, but it can do more than just that.
139.
by Tobani 13y ago
I believe :pre and :post conditions only get run when assertions are enabled. There are other languages that have this feature (Eiffel touts it pretty heavily), but I haven't seen the AHA! example where this is the long lost feature

I'm not sure I follow where THEY introduced the SPOF. Having a central repo is convenient for many people's workflow so there would probably be a SPOF (In that sense) for the people using github anyway. The difference becomes wo

I don't quite follow the whole hypertext problem. I mean URIs can be encoded as strings, there's no problem there. HTML doesn't handle URIs any differently. They're just string attributes on elements(generally). Is the

There is certainly a debate on where a text-editor ends and IDE begins. I think we can all agree we'd rather not use notepad or pico for most things.

by Tobani 13y ago
Not true. I want still want the IDE compile, type check, and add type-safe completions (When using statically typed languages). I want the IDE to assist me in writing the code. I want my IDE to launch/attach to processes for debuggi

The thing that I could use most is a way to automate setting up a reverse-proxy on a given path. I've figured out the steps to make it happen in the GUI. But that is tedious and error prone. Where would you suggest I go to find the b

That is certainly the case. But I guess my point is both ecosystems are so completely divergent that it makes sense that .NET would be an uphill battle for shops not running it elsewhere. I remember looking into MSBuild, but I couldn&#x27

I'm just saying it doesn't have to be that way. They could keep the core os component running the old version and have the newer standalone version of the browser running next to it. There may be some minor technical hurdles with
