   Go was obviously created in response to the problems with C; I was stating that this exercise in particular isn't demonstrative of those problems.

   These are not the problem with C. Things like a lack of support for functional programming constructs and more powerful manipulation of structs (e.g. iterating over fields and inspecting variable types) would be much more improvement to C t

   You're completely right. I don't understand why everyone thinks we need to standardize on the web browser as the one true computing platform either. The sheer overhead involved is so upsetting when you see simple canvas/etc. demos that just

   WebkitGTK 1.6.3 on Linux. It's deep within a size recalculation callback, so my guess is that scrollbars appearing/disappearing cause a "feedback" loop where there is no stable size to choose for the given window size.

   After a significant amount of window-resizing this ended up throwing webkit into an infinite loop. Impressive.

    I'm apprehensive about the same things. Toolkit cooperation on Linux is bad enough now and I see no indication that any work is being done to even mitigate worsening as these changes give toolkits more control over user experience. Google C

    This is because the new wave of developers doesn't have any connection to the old scene to see how absurd this state is. What would be trite and unimpressive in the context of what was done decades ago on far less powerful hardware with far

    CP437 is such a classic indeed. I still find it more effective for viewing large amounts of raw data than hex.

    Ubuntu fails to showcase many of the best aspects of Linux as a system. Linux (and other open-source OSes, obviously) is an environment in which users are able to exercise more freedom in their usage of their computers than virtually anywhe

    This library is described as "Insanely Fast", and performance feats on various connection types are described. Is the implication that it performs some optimization that regular sockets could not do? Or is it merely faster than some alterna

    The biggest issue I have with the text-manipulation capabilities of the CLI is the inability to select text in the prompt with the keyboard. Shift+navigation buttons is standard to do this in GUI text boxes, but the CLI's slightly different

    It's also occasionally useful in the construction of #define macros, where readability is often sacrificed for proper semantics regarding side effects and part-of-speech.

    As it's a linux distro, it supports most everything except Windows- or Mac OS-specific programs. And even those have a chance with various compatibility projects.

    This seems like it's a lot of overhead for what amounts, in terms of capability, to a reimplementation of greasemonkey. It also makes you implement finer controls on execution by url yourself, whereas greasemonkey has them in its syntax. Th

    It seems like this is useful in generating critiques of CSS for web pages in development, but user-style CSS (the primary sort I work with) has a different set of priorities that lead to selectors that seem to be considered poor style and w

    What part of it is painful? I've found gobject to be quite effective. It's not the most enjoyable to extend (there's marshalling and other boilerplate that's not difficult but not interesting either), but in the majority of cases when using
