Because for loops are special forms to the compiler and don't require general parametric polymorphism to be implemented in the language. Parametric polymorphism adds a lot of complexity to the language, so I guess the go team has decid

The be vendors that offer the buttons for their products are probably financing the whole thing. They'll also be the ones paying for the buttons, as opposed to customers. Imagine how great it would be for a paper towel company to make

Actually I have no problem with CC0, as matt4077 explained in a sibling comment, it seems pretty solid. I'm just concerned that people who aren't that interested in licensing but want to make their work as available as possible wi

I don't like it. There might be appropriate circumstances for public domain designations, but I think it seems much more attractive to laypeople than it should. Most people should probably stick to licensing their artistic work with so

It's in blatant violation of kickstarters rules, and was probably set up as the result of a partnership with kickstarter. Kickstarter knew that the return of pebble would be lucrative for them, and pebble knew that by using kickstarter

How is that cheating? That's just how you program without allocations.

That's why it wasn't included in the ecmascript 6 draft. In es6, "async" and "await" are future-reserved keywords. It's kind of a process of marking variables named "async" as deprecated. The spe

It's only valid as a keyword within the `function*` block, so the parser can treat it as an identifier elsewhere. I haven't read the detailed spec, so I'm not sure that this is the standard behavior, but this would be a way t

Keycaps are somewhat standardized, so unfortunately that would make the keyboard incompatible with third party keycaps.

That wouldn't be appropriate as a specialized component of make. You could write a script that sends a command off to a cluster and just set CC=script/send_to_cluster gcc Then specify the number of jobs you'd like to

But you need a larger medium for technical books that are filled with diagrams, or if you ever want to read a pdf. Really you'd want a device in the shape of an A4 or US letter paper. Phones, especially 5"+ phones, are great for r

Its an old concept. It describes the same code running on both the client and the server. Its been called isomorphism for at lest 20 years, when it was first used in networked video games.

The pattern-based illusions are actually quite interesting, almost artistic. Half of them are recognizable to humans, the other half at least make sense when identified. I wonder if we can automate the production of postmodern art :)

Because sometimes there are scrollable areas on the page that you want to pan, not scroll, but there's no panning built into HTML. Yes, mouse drivers should make it possible to pan any scrollable area, but most don't, and websites

Yeah. But this isn't what most "Hackathon Hackers" mean by "We are not criminals". It's also not what OP was referring to when he criticize lack of regard for civil liberties and tolerance of "unfair busin

It's just one part of a larger educational campaign. The goal is to not let there be a time when people "forget", or more accurately choose to ignore, the health risks. The warnings on the packaging are mostly targeted at non

Oh, I was at that hackathon. The hack that transfered data between phones using sound was cool for sure, but there were some other cool ones. The first place won because they created a custom piece of hardware, but really it was just a coup

Because physical addiction comes with tolerance. Opiates also have a high overdose potential, and when you combine tolerance-forming with high toxicity, people die. Yes, addicts can continue to get positive effects from the drug, but only b

Drugs like analgesics are especially dangerous though. There will always be people who turn to analgesics to relieve the pain of everyday life. People will turn to heroin or oxycodone to escape from the sorrow following the loss of a loved

It seems to me, based on this article, that providing support to major game studios and releasing driver updates to accommodate their games is a major revenue source for GPU manufacturers. I guess that's why only Intel releases open so

The reason people like to buy Chromebooks to run Linux is that chromeos uses the Linux kernel, so all the hardware has to have Linux drivers available. Most laptops have at least some issues with Linux. Even my thinkpad, a line known for Li
