You might think of it that way, but it doesn't reflect reality at all.

Nah, I took it as an opportunity to educate him. He learned that I am not a linux guy, and that there's actually lots of unix operating systems. And then he learned that mysql isn't the linux database, it is just a database

>MySQL is fantastic for probably 90% of what you'd ever think to use it for No, it is tolerable if you don't know any better. That's like saying a gremlin is fantastic for 90% of what you'd ever think to use it for.

This is just someone who doesn't appear to have much experience with any of the three, repeating "common knowledge" opinions that are largely misguided and/or outdated. If you want to say X is faster or Y has more &quot

Innodb doesn't have fulltext search, it has "fulltext search*". Big difference.

Postgresql seems more popular from reading blogs, news sites, etc because it is moving up in popularity while mysql is moving down. So there is more talk about it, even though there is still less usage. All the people switching to postg

Odd that they think they outgrew postgresql, while only dealing with a tiny 30k tps.

It won't though. Because it'll still be a decade behind haskell. People want more than just "ok, you can use multiple OS threads now". They want a concurrent IO manager, painless and seemless multiplexing of low cost

You are acknowledging that you are wrong without even noticing. No, haskell is not an "ivory tower". It is a very practical, useful language. That is precisely the reason it has gained so much momentum and usage. Ocaml had mor

by copergi 13y ago
But "someday we'll only be a decade behind haskell" isn't much of a reason to choose ocaml over haskell.

I think fay uses its own FFI, but with haste you just use the normal FFI to call normal javascript functions the same way you would interface with C code from haskell. There's no need for special bindings or anything. You could certa

I think you misread something. He asked how to do it without manipulating the DOM.

by copergi 13y ago
Is that a trick question? I don't know how or why you would try to do that.

by copergi 13y ago
I write all my javascript in haskell, and haven't had any problems. What do you need/want "DOM bindings" for?

It isn't the purpose of the contract, that's a complete non-sequitur.

I am fully aware of what they are, we stopped building them for a reason. They are hell to live in. You get the bare minimum air exchange as required by code. Try being in such a building for a day. Properly constructed passive building

Violating the law doesn't automatically violate any random contracts you have entered into.

That strategy is successful everywhere. You already insulate anyways, you still need thermal mass. It isn't just about capturing heat during the day to release at night, it is about heating the house instead of the air inside the hou

No thermal mass makes for a horrible passive house.
