I was referring to the original Microsoft basic, not basic itself. I can understand the confusion.

Well gates and Allen wrote the original basic interpreter together.

It often goes under "culture fit", allowing subjective biases to dominate.

Why didn't they use the robot to eg administer Thorazine?

If you have access to /proc, it's not much of an rce threat.

Blocks, maybe? Not standardized but it's cross platform and compiler.

I guess it's a matter of taste—I consider anything requiring jailbreaking inherently broken without something to protect. I have no desire to protect my fitness data, but I do have a desire to have access to my own device without probl

Sorry, I shouldn't have implied you were intentionally misleading. I'm simply pointing out that by describing your language as without dependencies, you're just swapping out the explicit IR layer with a hard wired ISA layer (

Disappointment is not "poopoo"ing.

Don't pitch your software as dependency free if it depends on a certain architecture. There's no need these days with llvm. Otherwise make it clear you actually wrote an arch specific assembler.

...no dependencies but x86-64 linux abi, which is a pretty massive hard dependency.

What is the risk you're envisioning? It can't be worse than being trapped in a hospital.

Why on earth does a fitness band need security? What a waste of time and effort for everyone involved.

Now you have two problems: managing utf-8 encoding (the idea that you won't want constant access into a string is pretty laughable—do you not ever use ranges?), and trying to work with a language that doesn't support unicode first

Even if the answer is "nothing" it still makes sense they're selling on ebay—people don't know that they're buying a brick, and I'd bet that's extremely difficult to contest via ebay/paypal.

Seems pretty niche for a luxury phone.

Haskell is very good at writing correct parsers easily—that's one thing. This is part of the reason it was chosen as an early perl6 test bed via pugs. Rust is getting there (I'm a big fan of the lalrpop library) but the ecosystem

> Yet I think that child pornography is less common in society than illegal ivory This could just as easily be from social stigma than from laws. I can't think of anything more socially repulsive. The point is, restricting legality

Do you have a source? I'm extremely skeptical and you didn't make an argument for it.
772.
by duaneb 10y ago
Yes, the only reason why child pornography is still around is we haven't bothered to make it completely illegal yet.

C++ doesn't improve on I/O (including cache misses).

by duaneb 10y ago
Maybe the bottleneck is I/O (memory or external), not CPU.

If you're rational and you want privacy, I would not use a social network. Certainly not as an identifiable user. Reddit is run well, but they are still a) a privately owned company where their main value is you , the user, and b) beh

by duaneb 10y ago
If you want to be private, don't use a social network where you are the product. Did you seriously expect reddit to NOT track your actions? If you ran the product, you would also want to collect metrics to understand how your users use
