>A lot of the advantage of Go is what it doesn't have. It's a much simpler system, so it's easier to design around, especially as one needs to get closer to the metal. Go doesn't have a REPL and that is objectively a

Even though it's still hip, this is why Go works in capable hands. As a new programming language / platform, it's academically quite boring. In fact, that's the number one criticism of its detractors.

Does it allow a current device with hardware keys and which stays alive for a week without a recharge?

Well, seems like most of the answers here are repeating pretty much the same mantra of this CTO being a douchebag and the champion founder being obviously correct. Please allow me to offer an alternative viewpoint. I've seen some foun

I'm having more and more doubts about mobile operating systems, or perhaps mobile UI paradigms where the user has unlimited freedom. I just tried, for experiment's sake, a dumbphone (Nokia 515) instead of my high-end large screen

Isn't it then marvellous that Rust is (also) a low-level language?

Unfortunately this library can only be used in Go, right?

Piece by piece, Linux is becoming an OS that we don't constantly have to defend for its small deficiencies. Loving it.

This is awesome on so many different levels. Check out the implementation: https://github.com/antirez/redis/blob/unstable/src/hyperlogl...

>The ports selection in FreeBSD is second to none. Linux has nothing close. Well... I don't know about that. The Debian repositories seem quite close to that offering, at least by their breadth. Arch Linux's core repositories o

As a long time Linux user, I have loved Nvidia for nearly a decade and continue to do so. They were the pioneers of serious 3D gaming in Linux and still the guys with the best driver. Thanks guys, you rock! Keep it up!

So always choose PHP?

It's not really cabal but libraries that are broken. They tend to define dependencies too liberally with >=, which obviously breaks things when the depended library makes non-backwards compatible changes. Also, the primary language

He's right, though.

They almost went to python but then added weird inconsistencies with how colon works. Why is it omitted in the else clause? Why isn't it used in all blocks like with python?

I also get a bit (not terribly, just a bit) insulted if somebody says "Beethoven sucks", because the person who said it is technically the same species as I am.

Perhaps you are not aware that actually settling credit card payments, i.e. the time it takes for the money to actually end up in the merchant's bank account may take several days, even weeks. As for bitcoin, to my knowledge this is pr

True, but a lot of PHP's ... design also reflects C, only that they warped it.
111.
by dscrd 13y ago
I'm appalled and little bit insulted that you group PHP in the same group with COBOL, C and C++ in terms of their foundation. COBOL and C were designed by some of the greatest pioneers of the field, and indeed PHP is built on C.

Don't know how smart I am... but I often find that the pain of getting screwed over is worth the knowledge of whom to trust.

Even better.

by dscrd 13y ago
Moreover, these things should be built upon the certainty that somebody smarter than you, the coder, might be interested in free money, and that the software will be broken. Only with that mindset can one build a system that doesn't

Looks good, but here's the practical question: Can I enter this REPL with all the libraries and models of my web framework loaded so that I can query a model through it, modify the object and save?
116.
by dscrd 13y ago
Here's what would make me accept PHP as passable practical web programming language: A good REPL, with good support for it over all frameworks. That's all it would take. Given that it doesn't have one, python beats it easily.

Is it really built-in to the language or just a library? Or is that boundary fuzzy with PHP?

Interesting. My experience with PA ever since version 2.0 has been that sound just magically works. Like it has been on Windows and OS X for years now. Another embarrasment for a Linux user is finally over. I think the last one to go is X11

This is how defensive (even cognitive dissonant) some PHP coders are.
