As I said on the other thread... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=755244 It's worth noting that this has already been patched on trunk and the latest stable branch (2.8), so if you run svn update now you'll get this fix. http://core.t

It's not code that does nothing, it's there to support a deprecated public API. Someone misspelled 'retrieve' once upon a time, and it made it into the public API, now they have to support it. It's unfortunate, but this is not the wrong way

No... DF is always quick for me. It's built on Movable Type, so essentially the whole thing is static HTML anyway, which is fast. If you view source, you'll see a time at the foot of the document, which I presume is how long it took to rend

This change was noted in the recent Arc 3.1 release discussion. Based on that comment I think the threshold is now 200 karma. http://arclanguage.org/item?id=10254

I'm generalising here from your particular view on state apologies to a more general one about state responsibility. If that's not an accurate appraisal of your view, my apologies; I hope this post will at least spur you to clarify this poi

Safari's Web Inspector is far, far better than it used to be, and has indeed gone a long way towards catching Firebug. The problem is that it isn't there yet; otherwise, I'd only be dipping into Firefox to test things. The Web Inspector's m

From what I've gleaned from the direction of many recent discussions on haskell-cafe, the good FFI support is a huge reason that Haskell is starting to fail to avoid success.

The trouble is, many people appear to believe that your argument that there are things which one generally shouldn't do with dynamic languages has the corollary that one should not be able to do them, i.e., that these features should no

While it's certainly true, at least in my experience, that Passenger is both easier to set up and demands fewer system resources than a Mongrel cluster, there's a third vital factor: Passenger works just fine with Ruby 1.9, whereas Mongrel

At least for me--someone unsatisfied with the bloatware del.icio.us has become, willing to try something new, and really not too fussed about a signup fee lower than MeFi's--the cost was actually an attraction. It says "We're serious" and "

Good for him. It's perverse for the gatekeepers of an institution supposedly dedicated to increasing human knowledge to attempt to restrain its dissemination in this fashion, and it's cheering to see the university backing the student here.

Do you really think that the study of philosophy in "most universities fall[s] short due to some bad fundamental approach like postmodernism"? I am dubious about this, especially if we drop the 'like'. A couple of (hopefully) enlightening l
