It's not about shared hosts (at least if I'm understanding the topic correctly) but about /etc/hosts entries on your local machine for your local machine. As in: my-test-thing-a.dev 127.0.0.1 my-test-thing-b.de

Because you might want to have multiple vhosts running on localhost, separated by hostname.

I personally enjoy games for characters & stories. I don't need to "fight the game" for a sense of accomplishment. Not sure why that's "worse" than playing games that are hard to master. I played hard games

One major difference: It's a native app, so it will use less resources, be snappier, and able to handle bigger files.

Except real, contemporary C++ compilers do not implement templates as turing complete: error: template instantiation depth exceeds maximum of 500 (use -ftemplate-depth-NN to increase the maximum) instantiating ‘struct a<500>’

This is not string interpolation. ES6 template strings can be used for multiline strings and string interpolation but that's just the basic case. What this article uses is "tagged template strings" - template strings where

Yes, but what's your point? That version numbers aren't the best indicator for production readiness?

It's only lazy when using the chaining syntax - and that one was never a standard replacement since `_.map(arr, fn)` returns a wrapper around a value and not a value.

As I said: there's no guarantee it affects you. But messing with timeouts during startup (where stuff might be failing and prevent server processes from recovering correctly) can be an issue. Even when the process is long-running in ge

If the audience of your library is literally just one version of iojs and nothing else - then yes. But that seems pretty restrictive. Especially since we just reached the point where reusing libraries in different contexts (browser/nod

by jkrems 12y ago
With a lot of files app startup can be delayed and the event loop be blocked. Which messes with timeouts among other things. The problem is that each file is loaded from disk and parsed in series without any level of parallelism (no real wa

Please don't rely on require hooks in libraries. They are kind of evil in applications already (because they amplify the "synchronous require" problem). Test your library against a version of 6to5, compile, publish, and remov

Good point. But my assumption would be that backslash was chosen because it's a reserved sequence that didn't have a meaning yet. E.g. they could have started suddenly treating "It costs $x, where x is the number of rides&quo

I would make a strong cut between "application code" and "library code". For the former compilation to ES5 is overkill because the author of the code controls the runtime. For the latter the library either has to contain

My example was from shell string interpolation/`sh`, which predates TCL by more than a decade. Not sure where your "I'd like people to study PL design history" comes from. It sounds kind of pretentious tbh. We were looki

The actual "discussion" was not about who invented string interpolation (I was talking about shell/`sh` string interpolation btw. which predates Python, Perl, and Ruby). It was about who they "copied" the syntax fro

...not to mention the habit of triggering assertion errors when combined with let-scopes.

> es5 is a dinosaur as of today I don't think so. People publishing libraries in ES6 are asking for trouble. There are far too many half-complete ES6 implementations out there and compiling to ES5 definitely is the way to go (for li

Syntax like `${x}` inside of string literals has been around a lot longer than Swift and is about as close to `\{p}`. I would be surprised if Swift has anything to do with it.

Yeah, sorry. I took a lazy shortcut there. What I meant was "they targeted the URL of rust's package manager and took a link to it down". It was less about the impact and more about how they couldn't claim that they hone

by jkrems 12y ago
Well, they just took down rust's package manager on Github. That's an obviously wrong takedown. If I understand the system correctly, it actually is designed for "shoot first, ask questions later".

You are not blocking other users - the CPU is busy and couldn't do other stuff even if it tried. With using one process per core (plus a spare core for "other stuff") you get full CPU utilization. You are right that node is n

If they aren't just syntactic sugar - how to you think regenerator works? Show me a generator and I show you perfectly fine, synchronous (though verbose) ES5 code doing the exact same thing.
147.
by jkrems 12y ago
Generators can definitely be used as a tool for control flow - just like arrays. But the thing that actually provides the control flow part is not the generator - just like `async.series` is providing control flow and not the array you pass

I'm not claiming they are like arrays as in "they have the same properties as arrays". I'm not talking about complexity of operations or even availability of operations. In the very beginning I name 3 categories. One of
