It used to be amazing - a pretty full featured mail application, snappy in 2005 on much less sophisticated browser runtimes. It’s relatively a piece of shit now.

The whole point of generics is to avoid this - why do you think you would have to use reflection?
244.
by danachow 5y ago
Why not? You later seem to think that this would require reflection - but that makes it apparent you don't understand how generics work in a language. They're used at compile time - to avoid runtime checking.

This is a joke, right? Your trivial implementation isn't even correct.

It hasn’t been out for 10+ years. Even if you count the prototype FaxJS predecessor it’s barely 10 years old, and that was only a Facebook internal project.

It didn’t compete with 68k which is much older traditional CISC processor which was never scaled up. The 68k died out with Apple switching to PPC except for embedded use where it lived on primarily with the Motorola Dragonball line. Freesca

You got a cite for that? I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, but that seems horribly overengineered for what has been traditionally accomplished with tracking the average speed of vehicles using radar or vehicle detectors - they have had these

Our bodies include our brains - the same ones that evolved for us to be social, develop language and then the technology and logistics to develop modern food production. This is all part of evolution.

Glucose is produced constantly by numerous cells in the body, and that is an essential function - regardless of diet. > I know of at least one T1 diabetic that is OFF INSULIN on a ketogenic (carnivore) diet. No, you do not. Fully progres

Absolutely not. A virtualenv is typically a pointer to a systemwide python, or something managed by yet another piece of crap - chpy, asdf, whatever - they are not self contained. Upgrading the system python will typically break the virtual

I said the body runs on glucose (ie it is essential for survival) - you claimed that was misinformation (which it isn’t) - I said nothing about dietary carbohydrates. Blood glucose levels for those on even the extreme keto diets will be reg

Because it’s not misinformation - the body absolutely needs glucose homeostasis to survive - if you don’t eat carbs it will make it out of protein. The body has numerous mechanisms and basically dedicated organs for the conversion, metaboli

Lol "sometimes is enough, sometimes not" is a bit of a backpedal from definitively putting cancer into remission. If it's an area of legitimate research for cancer treatment, then why do you lead with a reference to an indivi

Lord jesus what a strawman. You have any good evidence that math word problems in elementary ed are systematically biased in this way - and the plural of anecdote is not data, so don't waste our time.

Yes, this is what it means. Why does everybody here assume everyone outside the software profession is an idiot. Obviously if it only attacked 30% of tumor cells it would be useless. I'm not going to go over the physiology of cancer he

The main argument is that it’s not in the right ballpark though - which has no universal correct answer. However at this point 80 is not arbitrary - It’s primarily used as a default because of ancient history when 4k let alone 640k was enou

> The 8088/8086 had a MMU that provided only addressing space extension, from 16-bit to 20-bit. In hardware this is literally an add. Calling a single add (with aliasing) an MMU is quite a reach. The 80286 is not merely an extension

It bothers you? Then don’t buy it. I doubt they’re making very much money on something like this - at these prices the volumes are obviously going to be small and the custom keycaps and machining for a short run are not cheap. If someone is

There are quite a few “Mediateks” - Intel never had any interest in them - and they willingly sold off just about every embedded asset they had. Maybe look into the history of StrongARM and xscale to start.
