Have you considered trying to build Swift from source? It's a bit time-consuming the first time, but subsequent updates less so - and you'd have Swift 4 at your disposal.

Is this a common misconception? Personally, I assume KB in the context given.

...and feeling good about it because DDG protects their privacy. I’m not particularly concerned with the backing engine as long as they’re not tracking me and I’m getting acceptable results.

Not exactly. As long as YT acts the way the DMCA specifies (receive takedown notice, take down content, notify account owner), YT maintains safe harbor protection. The problem is that Big Media doesn’t like the idea of safe harbor. It also

They've always forced native apps to use IAP (or no purchase on the device at all; go buy an eBook on Amazon's web site, and you can read it fine in Kindle on iOS) for digital goods. Forcing web app IAP? I don't see them pull

IOW, opening a socket from the routing HTTP server to an application HTTP server. That’s pretty much how FCGI works.

I mentioned Apache modules in my comment. Write a module, add it to Apache’s config, your code loads with the web server. Looks like one can also write nginx modules, but I’m not familiar with nginx licensing to know if a purchase is requir

Ok, lemme spell it out: bundling the app and the server together; that’s what’s implied.

by delinka 8y ago
If you’re using CGI or FCGI, then you’re using a general web server that is probably serving lots of different applications. These days, folks often write the app to contain a web server. Write your app in JavaScript, pull in a dependency

Because the headline says “cartoon.”

Two graphs, with hand-drawn style. Not the cartoon intro I was hoping for.

I read that as "rejected by the candidate." Hey said "no," they offered, he said "no" a second time.

And if the candidate will be writing a new DOM traversal API, this is a valid exercise. As it stands, any of the libraries that do DOM manipulation for me also traverse the tree for me ... so, again, why do I need to implement a toy BFS in

That's fine. It just makes the distribution system that much more efficient - the same amount for everyone. Then we could afford a flat tax rate for everyone simplifying taxation as well.

How's that any different from: compiling from source with malicious modifications and then branding the resulting binaries with "RedHat"?

Answer: Clarence Leonidas “Leo” Fender and a friend named Clayton “Doc” Kaufman had taken a solid plank of oak, painted it glossy black, attached a pickup at one end, and strung its length with steel strings.

by delinka 8y ago
I'd assume that we would eventually make that distribution as efficient as possible with automation. I'd further assume that any money you make gets channeled through this system so that you have to earn past $30K to see any more

This seems to be ingrained deeper than targeted ads. Orders give me the option to "buy it again" for things that I only ever need one of.

For scripts, you're not compiling an executable that you'll run later, you're having Swift execute the code "now" so "available at runtime" becomes "immadiately after you parse the code."
235.
by delinka 8y ago
You make a good point wrt complexity. A project to convert shell scripts into (even naïve) Swift code (form compiling) might be useful.
236.
by delinka 8y ago
For the plumbing, maybe a library (of operator overloads) is all that's needed. For calling out to executables like a script (i.e. just put the exe name inline as if it were another symbol), you'd need first-class language support
237.
by delinka 8y ago
Swift as a (shell) scripting language has been terrible for me. To get us to Swift shell scripting, I think what's needed is the "syntax" for calling out to other executables directly instead of wrapping it in a task. Of cour

It's all in the timing. And some forethought. The cheese should not be cold when the meat starts to cook. If you can judge the cook of the burger at all, you can judge when to add the cheese: before it's reached the final cook, bu

Tokenized? One-way digest: SHA-512 the card number, iterate SHA-512 on the results 100 times, store that as your tracking code.
