Yes, but that wouldn't be dynamic (unless, of course, you run LaTeX and Inkscape in JavaScript, which would be cool but a bit wasteful).

Three years ago I was amazed by the versatility of SVG when I discovered it through D3 and it inspired our graphical designer to ask us designs never before seen in SaaS applications. Once you're willing to dive into the specifications

Java as a language is producing more value to actual businesses than most other popular languages. Where you see an over engineered mess, others see valuable abstractions, extensibility, compatibility and self documentation. Unfortunately,

That's the ideal, given infinitely long and infinitely bendable strings. Reality is that a tuner works from a certain key and tunes in equal temperament the other keys. Since the piano and the tuning is a compromise and there is limite

No, the security came much later, by then the ship was already abandoned. Also, in many ways, the security of Java Applets was actually better than ActionScript. For example, it could actually contain security contexts within one Applet. In

What's required now is just to scale out! It seems at the workplace they already have a critical mass, so it's just a matter of time. First the user-base, then the revenue.

I am really wondering why this is on HN front-page. It does not provide any good, in-depth analysis of FP in Java 8. In the contrary, the writing seems to be incoherent and assuming knowledge of a certain Java stack.

True, it was heavily inspired by the book 'The Grammar of Graphics', which is a truly worthwhile read.

4. Please use graphs which highlight the distribution of the write/read latencies. This points to possible outliers and reduces the reliability on averages. Possible example graphs are a violin plot[1] or a scatterplot with jitter [2].

Not necessarily. You might want to create an algorithm that iterates in a sequential fashion through memory, since your memory controller will see the iteration and prefetch the next block of memory. This is a huge performance win on larger

That's not what the article is about nayuki. The author of the article makes and proves a claim that arrays are faster than linked lists regardless of the insertion point. The metrics presented clearly show this. The reason for this ab

Some might argue that many similarly behaving structures without structural connectivity (also known as, DRY principle) is the very essence of complexity.

wrt the XProc pipelining: it's been some time, but I recall various possible transforming and matching steps, such as a conditional stream, transformers, reduction steps of multiple streams and others. This could then be combined with

I've never really subscribed to the mindset of XML for it has many disadvantages (the verbosity, the complexity of DTD, the tendency for documents which are too large). However, I do subscribe to namespaces, since it allows global refe

I'll add some more reasons to the flamebait: - JSON doesn't have namespaces, making integration of different data-sources quite hard. - XML allows me to do versioning within documents. - An extremely large corpus of well-tested li

If it is true that most designers are not aware of the accessibility issues caused by their designs in various environments, how can we still call them designers? It has always been my deep understanding that the artist is trying to communi

Certainly the requirements change and we modify the foundations of our systems all the time to reflect this. However, there are those useful abstractions which seems to survive a certain amount of time so as to allow us to study them, and t

There are languages which are both expressive and Turing incomplete, for example Coq. In the Coq language, Turing incompleteness is actually needed to be able to make complete proofs. Maybe Solidity would have been better implemented within

I've always felt that the meta space is too exponential or hyper to mentally represent or communicate. Perhaps we need different lenses to project the effects of the meta space on our mental model. Do you think this is why Gregor decid
