I worked on a language once (now dead) which even had a syntactically valid form for parse errors, which allowed a structured editor to record a valid AST at all times. The "parse error" expression just raised a "parse error" exception at r

I don't know where you get "less functionality and worse performance in the same or half as much space"- the point of the link was to show that 256 byte demos actually demonstrate more functionality. What makes you think you have more fun

That would require these various teams at Microsoft to act as if they were a single organization. This has historically been difficult for teams at Microsoft.

This doesn't look much simpler to me, and I suspect the problem with this approach will wind up being incomplete or overconstrained specifications, rather than incorrect programs. To use the language of the op, it will be composed of many d

Interesting. It's easy to pattern match this against the old "media company wants control and doesn't get the modern world" chestnut. On the other hand, try pattern matching this against the "band decides to put work directly on internet ra

Sure I can. The argument was challenging the merits of the statement based on some quality of the entity that made the statement, not based on the statement itself. It's the very definition of "ad hominem". You can argue that the sentiment

It's an interesting and eloquent statement, and worth thinking about. There's no need to resort to ad-hominem attacks against whoever said it, no matter how fictional they might be.

If you happen to have wget, sure. Windows doesn't, by default. It is far more likely that the machine will have powershell, and if it does, it has the .net frameworks. But, with wget, the line is iex (wget -qO- http://bit.ly/psChocInsta

It gets better, not worse. At steady state you just account for the depreciation cost, though, right? So that's $1.94/TB/MO/Drive, or $0.0019/GB/MO/Drive or $0.01/GB/MO for 3-way redundancy.

I think you missed a point in the post: the designers are NOT using git. When the designers make a change, the designers are not doing a git add. Dropbox is just about getting the assets from the designers to the developers, so that the dev

No, it wouldn't. At the highest levels of play, all players know most answers, and are prepared to ring in as soon as the capability to ring in is given to them. In other words, at this level of play, all humans are racing for the buzzer. T

Of course, the impressive thing is that Watson can answer the questions at all. The point being that at the highest levels of play, all of the contestants know most of the answers. This is a very important thing to remember. It means that e

Let's be more specific with our arguments. You can't argue that Microsoft didn't respond quickly, because there has been a change in Bing's results. The original comment asked "how long until Microsoft addressed this problem?", and it appea

It's opinion, of course; I use MS's web-based editors quite a lot, and they work well for me. I almost always have access to the local client software, too, so most of the time it doesn't even really matter; skydrive is just a great cloud-s
