This is wrong. The fact is we take our humans back, but leave our robots in space. It's harder and more expensive to prepare a return voyage, and the robots can ultimately spend more time in space and for some applications that means i

In principle your dotfiles shouldn't contain any sensitive data. It's not burying the lede, it's just that you read the article and decided that some important warning was so important that it was the purpose of the whole pie

Great, but now what do I do when my hands are covered in tree sap and normal soap isn't working? I guess we'll just have to settle for a more environmentally friendly alternative like acetone.

Ok, well that's funny. You pick "novel type system" apparently because you find it especially absurd, but I find that that's the only accurate on on the list. Go isn't expressive, nor concise, nor does it have a fle

Any language that has continuations, or at least thread-safe coroutines, can implement goroutines and channels. This includes scheme and lua. Also any language where the stack can be directly manipulated can implement those thread-safe coro

That's assuming they still have it. Perhaps the reason none of the bitcoin created in the genesis block has ever moved is because Satoshi thought there would be some value in having it be static and never expected bitcoin to have actua

Apple doesn't let custom browsers use anything other than their WebView component for rendering, and WebViews are pretty limited when it comes to modifying page content.

The best argument is that the compiler doing it add complexity to the language. One might say adding complexity to the language is justified if it means removing complexity from the programmer's workload, but in many languages that att

IoT is an open opportunity in general, but it doesn't really mesh with what Mozialla has done in the past. Mozilla very well could change their focus and compete in that space, but a newcomer without any entrenched ideas would be bette

Significant-whitespace languages don't introduce any additional whitespace changes because most people keep their code in whitespace-agnostic languages neatly indented anyway.

I'll echo netheril96, but it's perhaps worth mentioning that for very large projects, especially if they are likely to be compiled on a weak machine, it can reduce compilation times by limiting the size of the symbol table.

If only there was something like a universal package manager, that provides a generic but powerful package-management platform. OK, I like where you're going... Something where package specifications look just like expressions in a

Many people experience no effects at all the first or second time they consume it, but then when they finally are affected by it, that experience will be the most effective.

If your bank sends you a credit card contract and you don't sign it but their broken system lets you use their service anyway, are you liable for the terms of that contract?

That is not true freedom, because it still works within the confines of the law. No, true freedom would mean it it impossible to have anything be anything other than public domain because there would be no one to enforce IP. The free softwa

This is simply not what Uber does. Uber has never actually been a ride sharing service. A carpooling service is a ride sharing service. A real ride sharing service doesn't have drivers and riders where the riders pay the drivers. Don

And so we see that the legal infrastructure they put in place as an escape hatch from free software was the very reason they received few contributions and needed to use it. There are other factors, but a medieval CLA definitely didn't

5 3 is pronounced "5 times 3", synonymous with "3, 5 times in sequence". So if the problem given had been presented as "5 times 3" I would agree that that means "3+3+3+3+3". However, just becuase 5 3

I doubt that Apple's primary concern is people breaking their screens. It would actually be quite difficult to break your screen by putting heavy weights onto a spoon . No, Apple's concern is supporting this app to the future. Th

Scalajs is reasonably good, but it is retrofitted; it's a javascript backend for a language that wasn't specifically designed for a javascript backent. Ceylon was designed to compile to javascript. I haven't used either so

I figured I'd share a relevant anecdote: throughout most of my school (at least by seventh grade) I did virtually no homework. Not with the blessing of my teacher, nor of my parents. But I knew that my parents wanted to shut their eyes

Well in a way, yes, it's a marketing ploy. In order to actually see it to fruition, they probably analyzed it from a marketing standpoint and found that this would buy them goodwill in their demographic. Corporations are cold soulless

They do have a shared subset of features defined by POSIX. It's limiting and takes discipline, but it's not really impractical.
