They are public employees. Wouldn't it be a bit weirder to expect people to pay taxes without knowing what they were spent on?

AT&T MVNOs other than the two owned by AT&T do not seem to get to use LTE. That said, non-LTE 4G is fine.

Does idiomatic C++ do heap allocations with malloc then?

I certainly hope you don't give me an Object. That would mean I still haven't escaped the JVM! Just give me HM and I can write type safe code without typing types.

I've never heard of languages being synchronous or asynchronous before. It looks like PHP ships with asynchronous DB APIs.
2588.
by anonymoushn 13y ago
Is this really a worthwhile distinction? Using the first example from the Wikipedia article on duck typing, I have a choice between exploding when given invalid values: def calculate(a,b,c): return (a+b)*c or failing silently wh

Is it actually impossible to query the DB asynchronously in PHP?

I've come to think of it as a plus that the entire semantics of a language can fit in working memory. What features do you find to be missing from languages like Lua and Scheme?
2591.
by anonymoushn 13y ago
Scala lets you spend lots of time typing incomprehensible type signatures and gives you less type safety than ML-family languages in exchange. Truly it is the pinnacle of PL design!

It looks like this text is about the section slightly above: [2-1, 2, 2+1] === [1,2,3] [1,2,3] === [1, 2, 3] [1, 2, 3] === [1, 2, 3]

Your gun permit is in the bill of rights. Why do you need a web site for that?

I'm not sure. It seems like a big waste if you're going to run an interpreter for a decent language and use it exclusively as a compile target for an awful language.

It's a bit rude to suppose that I want to commit murder, drink and drive, steal, rob banks, and set fire to things. Calling paying legally authorized taxes coercion is abusing language to make a stupid political point. Sorry, could y

You don't have to use immutable collections. If you want to use them, you should probably consider the cost of the operations you are using. Which particular operations are you worried about? Most updates to an immutable hash table
2599.
by anonymoushn 13y ago
That should do it. I would probably go for def foo(s: List[String]): List[String] = s match { case l: List[String] => l.filter(_ match { case str: String => str.length > 5; case _ => false}); case _ => List[String]()}

If you ask me, "Are you willing to pay for generational theft, subsidies for the health insurance industry, and killing brown people on the other side of the planet?" I will probably say something like "No." It looks li

> Null check, synchronized, new ArrayList, for(s in sList), that kind of thing, right? > In Scala, it's this. Some would argue you don't even need a separate method. It seems a bit unfair to force null checks on the Java cod

I am also posting to disagree. In general, I have been pretty rough on Scala, but the long and short of it is something like this: Scala trades being a usable FP language for being good at Java interop. Everything you could want to do in
2603.
by anonymoushn 13y ago
If you want to use Scala without ever calling or being called from Java, you probably picked the wrong FP language. If you want to use Scala to call and be called by Java, you will need to know Java to debug anything.

The previous one seems less deceptive - it makes the user check a box that mentions the VIP program.

If you actually use most of the 5GB each month, $60/mo is competitive with what you would get from any MVNO. The MVNO plan would include tethering, but I'm told that people just use tethering on AT&T plans without paying for

I meant in particular, it is not okay to have a one hour round trip time between the legs of a single position. If I want to enter a large hedged position using the same "send some orders, wait for the fills, send more orders to tweak

Currently you can implement "Enter this position in an amount proportional to the portion of that order/those orders that get filled/do not get filled" yourself. You send the first order, you receive the response in a s
