Hoping to tide you over until a better answer comes along... Generally when complex programs (like an entire programming language) are made, there is usually a "specification" of its behaviors. This way, you can communicate to peo

Even though it's single-threaded (not with web threads maybe?), it can still be asynchronous, which is where the issues really lie.

I was planning to write a guide on this... you know, some day... From what I understand, Jekyll (the web site builder) automatically runs on their end. And, as the other poster mentioned, you can simulate the result of this by running a loc

I think the best ideas start with dog fooding, if at all possible. Notice a trend in the software that FogCreek makes? All easily dog foodable.

Love the idea. A maybe tangential question for you or sites like yours... So this might be all "tyranny of choice". But what is the difference between certain parts? Like if there are two motherboards and both of them cost ballpar

Though I agree with you, where is the stick in the ground? The OSS community's theme song has always been "you can do it yourself", even though that has long been not realistic for many people. So, nothing here is different a

You have no idea how excited this project makes me. I have a total nerd boner for AI and Hearthstone, so... I'm hyperventilating right now. Hopefully I can grok your work and maybe I can contribute!

Every time image editing comes up on forums, so does mentions of GIMP. To me, there seems to be no shortage of "GIMP has UX problems" claims. So what gives? Do they not believe that this is a legitimate problem hurting their adopt

I am not a scientific programmer, but I'm going to attempt to provide an example anyway until someone else does one better. I think there are certain mathematical operations that operate over what would be implemented as complex object

Does it strike anyone else as odd that garbage collection is used in such a resource constrained environment? Also tangent question, what is it about languages like Python and Ruby that make it more amenable to reimplementation than Perl?

But at least with Square we have relatively more transparency about their activities and intentions with such data. So while it may not literally be more, it's like functionally more?

Try Scala. It's a very expressive language that does not sacrifice on power (JVM/type safety). As a long time professional Perl programmer, I've given up on it. The heartache it has caused on enterprise teams I've been o

Final Fantasy for the NES seems to be designed the same way. A lot of the spells are actually "call function A with strength N, call function B with strength M and flag X". And with a large enough vocabulary of functions and flags

As I currently understand it, any commit you push to the main branch (so not wip/feature branches) will count towards your activity graph being filled out. This includes projects in your own repo. So I'm assuming you were referrin

I guess this matters less and less as old phones get phased out, but I think there is some memory overhead in having two apps rather than one. Like if you switch apps and then the reaper elects to kill your first app, the switch back isn&#x

Having the DDL be described relationally is only incidental. I would imagine rollback support to be highly dependent on how the storage engine works. It seems non-trivial to me, short of copying the entire table across the ALTER. And that d

I don't agree with you and I'd like some clarification from anyone who knows for sure. If the database is small, then sure, schema changes are harmless. But if a database is in production with data shuttling in and out of it and h
