Some of my front-end colleagues like to tell me that Safari is the new IE 6. Not in terms of the market domination (that's Crhome for you), but in terms of dragging the front-end back with unimplemented features, quirks, and bugs. Th

For some time, (mostly pirated copies of) Delphi were extremely popular in Russia. The fact that it's (Object) Pascal allowed lots of graduates, whose courses were probably mostly taught in Pascal, to get to work fairly quickly. With

Wirthian languages, and especially Oberon-07, are definitely a topic I want to familiarise myself with, but there is so little information about it on the Web, and even fewer codebases to learn from. And a lot of the compilers and tooling

Neither echo -e nor nc are POSIX. I don't think there is a strictly POSIX one-liner.

You probably meant to point to 7.21.1.3 , not 7.21.3 . I had to look it up myself, and sure enough, that's true[1]. The C Standard is a magical document indeed. [1] http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14&#

I mostly use the well-known distinction: with libraries, you call the library code, but with frameworks, the framework code calls you. Frameworks are often architecture-first and functionality-second, which is vice-versa for libraries. I

by ainar-g 7y ago
I've seen that happening, but there is always a risk of the old “gorilla holding the banana”[1] problem. That is, the library that you use depends on a library you don't really need, which in turn depends on another one, etc. On

Probably mostly off-topic, but every time I see the words “Go” and “framework” together in a sentence, I can't help but chuckle. Go is, idiomatically, a very anti-framework and pro-library language. And I think that that's a goo

Ah, I see. As far as I know it is vendor-directory-aware. At least it always renamed my packages that imported stuff from vendor/ with no problems. I don't deny that you could have issues with the tool, I simply have never encou

I've never had the need to rename anything in vendor/, so I can't really answer here. I've only renamed stuff in my project's internal/. Can I ask you why did you feel the need to rename something in your ven

I don't get it. The number of dependencies is constant. Which means that both of them need to make approximately the same amount of network requests. Where does the I/O difference come from then? Also, since you've mention

I've used gomvpkg several times during refactorings and rewrites of orphaned code and never had an issue with it (in GOPATH mode that is). But oh well, YMMV, I guess.

I was going to say that it looks like an egg, so you should use the Japanese word for “egg”… which turns out to be “tamago”. TIL!

I'm sorry, but I don't see how that answers my question. Oberon-07 has real FOR loops over arrays, so it doesn't need sentinel values. My question was about an idiom like: WHILE True DO (* Stuff. *) IF someCond

Of course, but wouldn't that effectively defeat the purpose of removing BREAK/EXIT in the first place? With something like: WHILE ~(lastIteration) & ~(Found(haystackPart, Needle)) DO (* Advance the haystackPart. *)

You're probably thinking of the original Oberon. Wirth has removed both LOOP and EXIT from Oberon-07. See here: http://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/Oberon/Oberon07.pdf .
