You're very right. History, Philosophy and Civics are still in their pristine condition. However, psychology, sociology, economics, anthropology and especially communication have been systematically taken over, and have demanded self-c

Let me virtually shake your hand. I've always been successful teaching first from the concrete and then slowly abstracting - literally "pulling away" in Latin - as that's how I understand abstraction - it is the common

The original WTC towers were already over-engineered. They could not be brought down by a plane hitting them, just like previously a plane hit the Empire State Building and it also did not collapse. That's why they needed the planes pl

I don't think any "majority" even cares about REST let alone know it exists. I also don't see jargon as something that may or may not "catch on", I see it as a way to organize ideas in a professional area so as

Unfortunately that's not it - I'm aware of sequential logic and its dependency on past signals - just like the `foldp` function in functional-reactive programming allows one to depend on past signals. If you think that's stat

A native GUI? Believe or not people will still pay a premium for that, myself included. There's a lot of money that web app makers are leaving on the table by not making "non cross platform pieces of software".

If I wanted to take an idea that someone else named X and bastardize it and still call it X, I would use that same excuse you just used.

Unsurprisingly, from the point of view of a C++ programmer, JS doesn't look bad at all.

Great! I love being incorrect, it's always a good opportunity to learn. Could you please show me a C program live-diagrammed like the following CPU: http://www.visual6502.org/JSSim/index.html Since they are basica

by innguest 11y ago
Thanks for the informative reply. A CPU might not be functional as in Haskell with recursion and types, but it is a weaker kind of functional in the sense that given the same inputs it will return the same outputs - it has no state, and eve

The way a strong type system solves this SQL injection problem (despite your saying it's impossible and ignoring my having shown your wrong) is by automatically escaping arguments before binding them to parameters. Well guess what, you

So one way you can interpret that is to think "oh yeah he's saying 'it's getting there!' with the wag of the finger as if to say it's moving towards a more communist approach". Which seems fair to me, give

I've programmed for a while now. I think I've heard vaguely of parameterized statements. :) Just to be pedantic, I'll point out that maybe your C and C++ "type" system wouldn't change how SQL injects currentl

Ah yes, that's the problem. It must be, otherwise how could you be right and not have counter-arguments? ;)

That's the Stroustrup argument - it's everywhere so it must be good! Like dust, or herpes. Your argument is its own counter-argument. Why is everyone running away from C so badly that they are even willing to put up with PHP? That
