Often they were programmed in machine code. The BASIC listing was just a tiny loader and the actual program in hexdecimal strings. The loader decoded the strings, poked them into memory and then called the start address.

So .net was a deliberate ruse to trick Borland into delivering a sub-par product? It’s weird because a very common complaint towards .net was that it didn’t allow you to build self-contained stand-alone applications the way VB6 and Delphi a

Yes, in practice it is Microsofts Java: A virtual machine, a set of libraries, and a set of languages (C#, VB.net, F#).

Adding emphasis in a text is also editing, even though the letters are the same.

VB was great though. Maybe the syntax was a bit clunky, but the overall developer experience was far ahead of other languages. Integrated debugger, edit-and-continue, code completion etc.

I dont see how .net was more tightly controlled than VB? VB was a closed source proprietary language tightly integrated with the IDE. They had absolute control.

The problem wasn’t they added more advanced features to the language, the problem was they changed the whole development environment in a backwards-incompatible way.

Yes they exist in numerous editions more or less edited and modernized. While some might like a modernized version, some might prefer or need access to the original text - e.g. the editors creating modernized versions!

Yes that is editing. Modifying a text (whether small or large changes) is called editing. I have no opinion on Cuneiform.

So Shakespares works should be edited to acommodate a software bug?

The point is if you have existing JavaScript you want to integrate with TypeScript. You should not need ‘any’ in code written in TypeScript from the beginning.
763.
by bazoom42 4y ago
‘any’ is great for porting javascript into typescript, and integrating with javascript libraries. You can add types gradually, without everything grinding to a halt.

<center> just centered text horizontally. This have been supported by CSS from the beginning. The CSS property display:table gives you the same layout power as tables.

> You certainly wouldn't be the first to hold that view. It is not my view. I happen to disagree with Dijkstra on that point.

by bazoom42 4y ago
Dijkstra is not just arguing all exits should return to the same point, but also that you shouldn’t enter or exit in the middle of a block. Execution should consist of executing blocks zero or more times, but either fully or not at all. Exi

Just be aware that the saturated colors seen on photographs are an artifact of the medium and the vidoes making it look like fireworks are typically sped-up. It can’t really be captured om film - and what you see on film is quite different.

And Java, C#, C++ etc. But whitespace-sensitive languages dot not have the issue.

It is not a problem specific to C. Any language where indents are independt of semantics is prone to this kind of bug.

> Such as trying to avoid it in C for clean error handling, when there's no reason to avoid that. Dijkstra would clearly disaprove of this use of goto. But he would blame the C language for making it necessary. Languages with struct

Interestingly, many seem to want to project their own opinion upon Dijkstra. Dijkstra is clearly arguing for a “single entry single exit” style. But modern consensus seem to uphold single entry but accept multiple exits from a block. Break,

If you read Dijkstras letter it is clear that early returns (ie any return which is not the last statement in a function) is subject to the same criticism as goto. > These retain structure and this are not considered harmful This might b

by bazoom42 4y ago
Returns are also gotos then.

by bazoom42 4y ago
The argument against gotos in Dijkstras article would apply equally to breaks and continue and even to early returns. I dont fully agree with Dijkstras argument. For example I think early returns can often improve the readability of the cod

Methods from the .net framework and other libraries are called with a tuple of argument, since they are not compatible with the native F# was of calling functions.

by bazoom42 4y ago
That error is not due to goto, it was just a goto which was errously executed because of badly formatted code. (It looked like the statement was inside an if-block due to the indent.) Pyhon would have prevented this bug, but so would a form

F# has two ways to invoke functions, ‘f a b’ and ‘f(a,b)’. You need to know when to use what. There is no way this is simpler to beginners compared to having one consistent way. C# is not a simple language, but F# has basically all the comp
