IRC If you are using JDBC (which is pretty much the only choice on Java) HStore is a pain to use since its query operators conflict with JDBC's parameter syntax ("?").

I find there are roughly two categories of languages that are worthwhile (based on my opinion of course). 1. Easy to write/produce: Languages/Framework that are easy to write because they are highly expressive (Haskell/Scala)

I have wondered if there is a VPN in China so that you can see what China actually sees (the opposite is easy to find). I would imagine such a service not to be very public. I suppose you could buy hosting service in China and do it yoursel

It would be nice if it supported the ASCII text shortcuts like :poop: (see http://www.emoji-cheat-sheet.com/ ). You could also make the URL route based on the ascii shortcut as well (as previously mentioned by another user).

How is that possibly if Hamcrest isn't going to be put in? I think you misread that bug report. >Closing this issue since there are no plans to include direct dependencies on third-party assertion libraries within JUnit 5.

I am not. That is exactly why I did not file a bug and instead posted here. The OP shows examples assertions using JUnit 4 and hamcrest assertThat. The OP could use the builtin assert for all I care but I sort of got the gist they were tryi

For the Java version I would seriously consider not using JUnit 4's assertThat and instead rely on AssertJ [1]. Besides AssertJ being easier to use and IMO more elegant than Hamcrest, JUnit 5 will be removin `assertThat`. I contemplate

I know duck is all about the trust but couldn't they have picked some non encryption/security OSS projects. It sort of reminds of the brief period where all these sustainability/eco startups where picked for awards or help.

I think Racket comes close but is still a little more adult. I remember going to GaTech early 2000 and there was a teacher named Guzdial pushing Squeek like it was gods gift to children and humanity. There is nothing wrong with the language

The problem is that it is a Facade/API that is initializing and printing to STDERR. I completely disagree with the idea of making slf4j-nop a required exclusion dependency (that is a I agree with @paulmd and not the OP) but a facade&#x

My feeling is that SLF4J and in general the boot strap initialization is fundamentally flawed in Java because of the plethora of libraries that do static initialization. I have been meaning to blog about this for sometime. The reason is sim

Wait which curl are we talking about because I'm not sure Daniel worked on Haxe. There is also Curl the programming [1] language (which reminds me of Haxe's goals) but I don't think the creator of that worked on Haxe either.

Ahh that is right. I was going to double check that and I'm annoyed that I didn't. For some reason I thought some of them were hit directly. Regardless the ships that did survive I don't think any humans would have survived o

I sort of agree with your point but your analogy with Chess is not a good one. Chess is played with another person. Not that it is possible but reading spoilers and looking at source code is sort of like cracking open the persons brain to f

Yes vim keys frequently trip me up. One of the major reasons I keep vim in my repertoire is that it is on every machine I have to SSH into and it can handle monstrous files. Vim is also better at editing config files (SSH ops stuff) in gene

That is what I'm saying (I think we agree). It seems like a focus of Go's simplicity is to improve compilation speed and yet there are languages like Ocaml that do have generics (and a whole lot more) that seem to compile faster.

I have some biased doubts (come from the JVM world) about needing really fast compiling and is often cited as the reason Go does things the way it does (or is). Is binary dependency management just not an option ever? I have a friend that w
