Free Pascal & Lazarus has already solved this problem, but no one cares because Pascal is outdated & therefore we need to reinvent the wheel over & over but doing it worse for every iteration.

HN is public forum, a phone is not, but yes they could share my IP, browser etc, if they do store it somewhere it will be leaked anyway. Always assume that. We do actually know that a lot of Android phones leak user data, especially ones ow

One language that was not on the presenters list is SQL, very popular, but not OO nor functional. One thing lot of programmers do is to abstract SQL to OO style, even though SQL describes a relation that can be computed to a result, in some

Differences in naming & parameter order for the PHP standard library functions are because they are usually just a thin layer above a C library, therefore are consistent for that C library (e.g. string functions), but not between libra

Article begins with stating it is bad to have white christian males in a group and the article concludes in the end it is better to have immigrants. Of course it is a praise to migration. Don't be naive. And your comparison doesn'

Wrong. The article clearly states "Immigrants account for 13% of the American population but 27.5% of those who start a new business. By their nature, migrants have more get-up-and-go than the average person—otherwise they wouldn’t mov

False. Ground work for the Swedish economic growth was set in the middle of 19th century by the work of Prime minister Louis De Geer and his finance minister Johan August Gripenstedt. By 1920 Swedish economy was in top ten of richest countr

PHP is a beginner friendly language, thus a lot of beginner mistakes are done in PHP, therefore a lot of programmers think that PHP is bad language. Common fallacy. PHP is also a web language, very closely connected to HTML & related te

Few exceptions to the general rule then. Ok.

You don’t seem understand at all. Biologically males are supposed to make contact with females, that is how every species works, but we as humans has now created an environment where that is either frowned upon or ridiculed.

Long incoherent thread about herself, almost nothing about Stallman and the information that is given is just her reaction & speculative conclusion about Stallmans intention. There are many out there who want to get fame on the behalf o

Just love Stallmans criteria for nontrivial JavaScript programs, basically every JavaScript program is nontrivial. And it is okay to enable JavaScript temporarily so you can send a complaint to the website operators that they should remove

Yes, a new state is unfortunate, however a lot of PHP code uses classes as pure data classes without any constructor & with only public properties, i.e the class functions more like a struct where you assign property values from outside

Can’t you make the argument that that part of Rust is OOP even though the rest of the language isn’t? Java has added more & more FP style constructs, does it make Java a FP language?

This article is just someone’s frustrated rant, poorly written. Definition of OOP has changed over the years, early on it was a lot of focus on inheritance & polymorphism, but today it is mostly about composition, which is basically wha

I still find Opera Mail works best, even though it is unmaintained. It has superfast search and not as sluggish as Thunderbird.

Correct, every spying bureau, organization or company runs open source & that probably takes away freedom.

Why shouldn’t Go have a place i new code? You talk about Rust, but why does that make Go a bad choice? Is it technical reasons or politics?

Agree on the premise that the superrich can be a threat to democracy, however this article argues a fallacy, the superrich has a lot of lobbying power because the political system has en-massed a lot of political power in a few entities,

VB is de facto dead, declared legacy in 2008 & latest major release was in 1998. VB.NET is a new incompatible language, everyone invested in VB needed to retrain skills & rewrite existing software. It was a huge uproar in the commun

Visual Basic was basically(!) killed by Microsoft albeit large protest, so no, putting your trust in one company does not always work. PHP has been developed very well the past few years as community project, there is an open RFC process wi

For community driven programming languages I would say PHP, large user base, mature & very active.

WSL1 yes, but not WSL2, this is the what this article is about. Constantly people are bringing up that MS should switch to the Linux kernel. It makes zero sense. You lose the ABI to run all the old Windows binaries out there when you can ke
