It would seem that you could implement that abstraction within the language def int int_indexing(int values[])[] { int i = 0 int result[] = list_create(list_length(values)) foreach (values as dummy) {

This sentiment is an artifact of javascript being used to add functionality to an existing document, which is still a very useful case for javascript, and it seems people are dismissing it, which is a shame. When you're building an app

This is usually achieved using distributed hash tables. Almost certainly the most prominent use of this is magnet links in bittorrent. Freenet has also been doing this for a long time, and ipfs is a relatively new player. The internals of d

I don't know how you can apply human attitudes toward sex and consent to other animals so biologically distinct. I'm not going to argue that cows are naturally "consent" to sex at any time in any form, but there's a

Consider the documentaries about the livestock industry that present these operations as they are supposed to operate, and the disgust that they evoke in viewers. Now consider if that footage was much more available. I see two possible outc

It's worth noting that there are definitely exceptions where loop unrolling is a good practice for optimization. When writing code that will run on obscure old architectures, and even some common ones, the CPU doesn't have things

Well the "⊂" symbol is actually somewhat ambiguous. Different mathematical pedigrees define it to either mean either loose subset or strict subset and its usage has never been completely standardised. The "⊆" symbol alwa

Doesn't libcurl encourage allocating linked lists on the stack for passing options to functions? IIRC a lot of functions take too many options to be practically specified as arguments so they have a datatype something like struct

Microsoft offers prizes at almost every one of these events for teams using Azure. If the team isn't especially invested in one platform or another, the prize availability will decide for them.

Both of your points are right, but I'd like to point out that regarding: How does new browser feature X prevent a developer from doing any of these things? A moratorium on new features probably wouldn't help, but the reality is

You're right, there's no native-feeling cross-platform UI library for native apps, and the browser isn't poised to be an exception to that. Apps made in the browser don't feel native. The closest to native-feeling app bu

The cross platform experience will never match the native experience. Think about on the desktop. The only cross platform apps that behave natively on Mac, Windows, GNOME (and derivatives) and KDE are apps tha have completely separate front

Maybe what skwosh means is a moratorium on new features in javascript so that we can refocus on the features that are useful, and actually improve rather than complect the language.

Isn't ANTLR only for java, or at lest primarily supported on the jvm platform?

I find it highly unlikely that java would adopt the implicit lambdas using underscores from Scala. The rules regarding precedence themselves are quite simple, but they're not always what new users expect, and cause too much confusion t

"It just is"? Seriously? You can't explain anything with "it just is", let alone a controversial subject. I don't know what other kinds of vapid reasons the parent was referring to, but many are just as bad a

I don't really use chrome. If the widgets don't look native that's fine, but do they behave natively? If they're not drawn by gtk, do the standard keybindings work if they've been changed from gtk's defaults. I

A complete general implementation requires some kind of static notion of an "inverse", which is hard in turing complete languages. But really this is quite a bit like RAII for a lot of practical applications.

It can also be used by a parent process to limit the functionality of a child process, by calling tame() after fork() and before exec(). I can imagine this being used with some a "tame" command in the shell to run untrusted progra

It is, psychedelic induced hallucinations (as opposed to hallucinations as a result of delerium) are produced in much the same way as deepdream. And the results are strikingly similar.

Wow that's rude. No need to insult someone's upbringing on a thread based on their musings about a snippet of code. Also you're wrong. Critique is useful in and of itself, not just as a direct means to getting something fixed

I'm sure the Android ecosystem has many equivalents, but they'll never be very high profile. The cellular hardware inside phones doesn't add too much to the cost, so customers are better off just buying a phone and not puttin
