This is exactly what the author recommends in the article.

Thanks for the explanation. I am fairly familiar with the Java internals, but I haven't used Python much, and was just using it as an example. I didn't realise that it was compiled to bytecode before interpreting. I suppose it doe

It's funny; that's how I feel a lot of the time. It seems like so much of my life is reacting to whatever is next on my "priority list". I miss the days when I was younger and had the afternoon with nothin to do. I feel

OK, so are you saying that compiling the language's runtime environment, including the GC, to asm.js would not be efficient enough? That makes sense. I guess I was hoping that there may be some way to compile the runtime such that the

So what is a feature of asm.js that is not in JS?

YT was bought for $1.65bn in shares which is an order of magnitude less.

by fractalsea 13y ago
Care to explain why? To my understanding asm.js is a restricted subset of JS that allows for optimisations to be performed that would not otherwise be possible. In a similar way to how Java bytecode can be interpreted more efficiently compa

I agree that that would be more awesome. That doesn't take away from this cool story though. Also, we're getting there. I recently saw this clip of a woman hearing for the first time. Powerful stuff. http://www.youtube.

In my family I could imagine this being pretty ruinous. Being in the software field, it's a lot easier for me to get a job, and one that pays more, than my sisters. I can tell there is already resentment towards this, but if it also me

Using the word "nasty" to describe nudity makes me very sad. I can imagine a very small niche of sexual practices that I would label in this way, but to regard sexuality in general as "nasty" seems ludicrous to me.

Source on air travel being better than cars please. I'm genuinely curious because I've always been told that flying is worse, and it would be nice to feel less guilty about flying. Coming to think of it maybe planes are worse beca

This is so true. News sites tend to be so "busy" and messy. I love the clean look of the mobile version. I really get what people mean by "mobile first design" now...

I remember Sale to the Moon, also by Radiohead, as being particularly strange. It changes from bar to bar.

As someone who is quite familiar with abstract algebra, but who has not used much Haskell, I'm curious about why you think of monoids as simply concatenation? Is this the only, or primary, way they are used in Haskell? A monoid could a

I think the point is is that even if you don't use mainstream services, than there's nothing stopping Facebook buying up whatever you were using at some point in the future.

I second the group chat feature. my family had a constant group chat going on it. It works very well. I see that, and the easy way of sharing of voice, photos and videos as a big advantage over SMS.

I found this which seems good. http://mikemcbrearty.com/climate/ One feature I would like would be the ability to filter results by continent (or even more fine grained filters).

That site is a brilliant resource. Thanks for sharing. One of my main considerations when moving somewhere is the climate. It would be cool if the site had links to places with similar climates (could be calculated with some kind of distanc

I can understand why this would benefit the jobs market, but in what way you this help prevent "diminishing resources"? It's my understanding that quality products tend to be more resource and energy intensive to create, unle

Comparable countries in terms of size and number of states are Russia, China, India etc., yet I would imagine that most people in the West would know only handful of states within these countries, if you're lucky.

Yes it is a terrible word to use, but these pardons have been issued to innocent people in the past and I suppose it has just stuck over time.

My initial reaction was "it's about time", but I'm unsure what to make of it after reading: "Unfortunately, I cannot feel that such a 'pardon' embodies any good legal principle. If anything, it suggests th

Amazing site. Bookmarked, and I will go through it properly when I get the chance. As someone who has a poor grounding in many areas of maths in general, but deep understanding of specific areas, this resource seems excellent for catching u

So no one would buy anything if there was no advertising? Or maybe you are worried they would buy less? In that case, would the world really be a worse place? People only buying what they need...

I find it odd that you feel put off by the single choice of database, while also arguing that users shouldn't mind being tied to databases in general. Surely using SQLite when your setup is better suited to PostgreSQL is a less harmful

Out of curiosity, can you explain why you created the community edition for PyCharm, but not others?

Yes I cannot wait. I recently started trying to learn some basic C/C++. My usual initial step in setting up an environment for a new language is to google "intellij plugin for X", so I was very disappointed to find that C&#x2
