HATEOAS is similar to that, but instead of a "person" browsing a "website", it's "client software" browsing "XML/URIs/Resources" received from a server API. A person browsing a web site is not "like" HATEOAS, it is the canonical example.

Not only does it lack a standard library, it lacks a standard metaobject protocol. The fact that a MOP can be implemented in Lua is very nifty, but not having a standard one makes an ecosystem of shared code very difficult.

True, but if your spec only contains the verification, then it's not helping you estimate the time to a solution.

Clients can't predict specs for the same reason developers can't predict budgets. Both parties are part of the invention process. They don't know what they want until they use it, you don't know how to build it until you try. And when these

Ok, I take it back. There are anti-circumvention exceptions to all the new fair use rights, effectively inverting them. So the bill says "you have the right to use copyright works in such and such a way, unless the rights holder says otherw

You have to give an app whatever memory it asks for, or it will crash. If it doesn't use that memory, the OS will swap it to disk. Apps don't generally change their behavior based on the size of physical RAM, but maybe Chrome does this as a

Just the capability to share memory with other apps is what requires the sacrifice in efficiency. It means that apps can't control what and when parts of themselves are paged out to disk. If they could, they might only page out infrequent

Nearly all my mail ends up at addresses from my past. If it wasn't for e-bills, I would never receive (my own) bills. And I have received mountains of mail from countless former tenants at every place I've lived, mail they will never see. T

Abstraction can be very expensive. You wouldn't have to wait on your Windows app if it didn't have to share memory and storage with other apps. Web sites spend a few orders of magnitude in performance in order to abstract out operating syst

In other words, the general circumstance. There is no reason to say "potential in certain circumstances" other than deception.

If you can live without such luxuries as an operating system, libraries, and drivers then you too can write software as efficient as Defender! But resources are well spent on abstraction, most of the time.

I suppose this only detects intermittent leaks? If a particular class always leaks then this tool would have no frame of reference to detect it, right?

"Embracing and extending" is not a destructive thing in itself. What makes it destructive is when the extensions are difficult for others to implement, because they are coupled to some proprietary thing that can't be reproduced. In Microsof

So far, every answer this thing has given me is a link to the top result on Bing. Are they doing that to reduce load on the servers? If so, that is a really dumb move. Everyone who tries it now is going to think that's all it does.

I can't imagine them defining "Work" so vaguely if they were trying to write a clear contract. More likely Apple wants to wait and let the courts decide how much they can get away with. God knows how that will turn out. I guess either the l

Correcting for clock drift is not tangible in a practical sense though. We (allegedly) have good reasons for changing our schedule twice a year. Changing it because that's how people lived 500 years ago is not any kind of reason, and I thin
