so when/how would the fix get into some java update?

sorry for the quastion as the reply, i would also ask for some info about the unicode issues in jython, as i lack experience with all python stuff. does it have problems or everything is transparent?

by fedd 16y ago
yes. i write my java-based matrix to be code-points aware so that no-one in Japan and China using it would face any problems.

did you mean the situation when for example "ä" can be transmitted as 00e4 alone or as 0061 "a" + 0308 "umlaut"?

i guess utf-8 requires more computations while processing strings. if you work with just 2 bytes chars, it (might) work faster // upvoted all replies, you're right
279.
by fedd 16y ago
if you want to deal with characters with high numbers you should know code points stuff. for example, the String.length() would return a number of two-bytes chars, not real four bytes characters, which may confuse someone //edit: this is ab

and i find it fair that American characters require 2 bytes in Java as everybody else, not 1 as in utf-8! :)

asking a prototype helps to understand how the team can execute. as far as i understand, the point is that the costs of having a prototype have reduced dramatically with all opensource and cloud hostings, and that's why investors gave money

interesting article. i have similar thoughts. Seedcamp team is awesome and visionary selecting finalists. but when it comes to selecting winners, they have voting, and only the minority would vote for a non-consumer web startup that they ca

there must be a poll 'where are you from', i'd like to know how much people here are from Russia like i am. couldn't google it.. ?

lacking experience, i'd think that to say 'yes' is much more scary than to say 'no'! :) that would be the courage. i mean i am not offended when someone doesn't reply. the deal is not done until it's done, so it is always 'no' until you sig

edit: i mean: normalize(!), check if it is textually the bad magic number, then either use builtin conversion or use your solution. a? :)

maybe its okay to lose some precision as everybody knows that doubles are already inaccurate? :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point#Accuracy_problem...

by fedd 16y ago
as people wrote that getting this double from integer part and then applying scale doesn't cause problems, i assumed that the problem in parsing that specific string, but not in that particular double value, which can be represented differe

i didn't think much about this, but couldn't we just check whether we have a string "2.2250738585072012e-308" to parse, and then decide, call the builtin function or not. at least, just check the input hash against a hashcode[1] of "2.22507

imho, the second, except that some consistency is present ib document dbs: like in the order example, all order items will be within the document and wont be lost without losing the whole order. no-one would ever use 'eventually consistent'

do all of them have some uniformed api? that would be great, ideally. query and cache all of them on demand from your own app without additional programming. bookmarked and shared this thread.

i wonder, how many people would confess that they want to be someone (i.e., businessmen, or a vc) to have a boatload of money, a home on tropical island and fly business class / private jet? if i were a vc, i probably would not like this co
