as an interesting note, Lua actually started out as a data entry language (actually called DEL), that eventually morphed into Lua due to demand for more complex logic and such.

Commandeer: Verb: take possession of (something) without authority. Sounds like you'd get arrested for that....

Can't say about NodeMCU or whatever, but Lua has had bytecode and all since Lua 1.1, back in 1994

If you are talking about this service: http://he.net/web_hosting.html , then it's supported SSL since 2013, at least, with a simple admin panel to set it up... If it's an actual VPS, then SSL is fully on you, and

Lua is perfectly capable of compiling to bytecode and running that as well...

wait, wait, wait, are you saying a "trusted ip address" out on the web? or requiring every office to set up their own https proxy? Cause a "trusted IP address" out on the web would just be insane... "Oh, let'

Then really, Google's done you a solid. Now everyone using your site will know it's not as secure as their bank, and therefore, when their creds for your sites are stolen, and they get their identity stolen as a result, you can

Of course, there's also the "drop your average blue collar worker into my job and they'd be fired within the week, if not the day"... Not to say I wouldn't be fired within the day at their job, just saying that bot

Well, for one thing, the Go compiler itself already only compiles things that have changed, at least as long as you are doing `go build -i` and such. Only test what you had to compile seems like a pretty easy thing to do.

Go's nils aren't typed, it's just that an interface value can have a type and point at nil. Also, I've never run into this "problem" in all my time of using Go...

no, there's a bug in the game, I've encountered it too. Clearing the move queue clears all the orders, but they won't follow even a single move order. The arrow appears and then nothing happens.

Generally, everyone has a "hold in your hand" showerhead, except for hotels and rentals, cause the fixed ones are cheaper. I've got a "hold in your hand" one that I took from apartment to apartment, and is now sitt

If they are using different data sets, then I'd say it's an invalid benchmark.

Well, you have to remember that this isn't like DO is selling a stolen car or something, this is a bunch of third parties all deciding to reduce the value of that IP address. There's nothing inherently "wrong" with the

Then both versions should get that "happy day"? If you are using distinct random data for each version, then you aren't really benchmarking properly.

You should always be comparing best case for this kind of thing. Slower cases are most likely "your thread got switched out by the OS to let something else run", and that's not really a fair test.

Or, the manufacturer of the batteries could recall them. Also, plenty of phones have replaceable batteries, including new models, so I'll just keep buying them. Means I won't be buying Samsung, but that's just an extra bonus

by Vendan 10y ago
So your solution is to say "no, only large companies are allowed to pick batteries". Well, the Note 7 seems to show how good an idea that is. Plenty of devices have replaceable batteries without them exploding, and if anything,

Then the question becomes "why is he talking about turing completeness, something that is either irrelevant, or that he knows nothing about?"

Hah, you picked a rather odd example, cause "Italian sausage", in the US at least, isn't "sausage from Italy", it's a specific kind of seasoning.

Yeah, but now you swung in the opposite direction. Look at Debian Linux's 2016 code exec vulns and you'll see it's got a like Firefox and Chrome and Drupal and Mercurial... not exactly OS components... whereas the windows 10

I've run into "security software" for domain computers that required every computer to have the same local admin password... and for it to be enabled on every computer.

Well, there's also how serious the vulnerabilities are. Linux kernel had 4 code execution vulns, Windows 10 had 44. Linux had 44 gain privilege vulns, Windows 10 had 79. Linux seemed to have mostly DoS vulns, which is admittedly not

My parents specifically had a metal roof installed cause they like the sound of rain on it.

Sounds similar to the level of support I've gotten out of Samsung. My primary consideration on phones is now: either cheap enough to chuck in the trash and buy a new one, or completely user repairable. So far I've been using $30

Forth has a minimal set of primitives as well, and an even simpler parser (it's literally "read until next space" and "search a linked list to see if this matches an existing word, otherwise, is this a number?, otherwise

How would you possibly do that? Part of Go is that there are no warnings, only errors. If you want it to just error a build if you've "deprecated" a thing, just delete the thing...
