XForms has a bigger scope and is connected to XHTML. Two good reasons why this might succeed where XForms failed.

If you use alphabetically ordered keys (a pretty good practice anyhow), that advantage goes away. If you just develop a habit of adding stuff to the front where semantics do not matter, that advantage goes away.

Yes, that's why you would use F# in .NET if you want something like Scala. And then I heard many people say that .NET wins again.

Maybe I'm crazy/misremembering. But other than the "we're focussed on polishing it first" I thought I also read something reaffirming an interest (not from Apple officially but from one of the devs) to open source.

They have expressed interest in open-sourcing Swift pretty much immediately after announcing it. Both on Twitter and later (?) on the LLVM mailing list. No official Apple announcement and far from a guarantee that it will happen - but &quot

I think the author makes it pretty obvious that he's only speaking about "your writing systems sucks for me while doing my job". Sure, the title is hyperbolic - but with a title like "Your language sucks" nobody sho

I don't know why but for me it seemed like it works on second attempt but then consistently. E.g.: first option-click still goes into fullscreen, go back to windowed, try again and it maximizes. Don't ask me why.

The article was published 5 days before the release of Java 8 - at least if my quick googling was correct. That might explain why it doesn't mention repeating annotations as a solution.

async/await is an upcoming JS feature that actually is kind-of supported by Bluebird when combined with generators. The author just didn't know about it (I guess) and reimplemented it via macros.

But the "real" URL also would have proper CSS etc. and looks slightly less broken.

Ah, thanks. Yes, tested it exactly on OSX and CentOS.

Isn't /bin/sh vulnerable to the same thing? At least it seems for me: sh-3.2$ env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' /bin/sh -c "echo this is a test" vulnerable this is a test

If you think there's no inter-Europe nationalism I'm not sure where you live. There's a bunch of it. In my environment (German) growing up it was mostly about French, Polish, and a bit about British people. Sure, straight rac

It's not about "making a mistake", it's about cases where you'd want to create objects but using `new` would be awkward. E.g. `myListOfRawData.map(MyConstructor)` when you unmarshal data. Sure, you could create an a

The license requires explicit written permission by Gruber before using "Markdown". It's not fuzzy at all about this point. He didn't okay any name like X, he said he might approve of a name similar to X. That's n

Because it takes an enormous amount of work, most of node.js source code (or at least a lot of it) is basically libuv bindings for V8. To make it work on top of SpiderMonkey is a lot of work (though multiple people tried). And the gains fro

Where exactly is the difference between "knowing your place in a hierarchy" and "knowing who is stronger and who is weaker"? Seems to me like two different ways of expressing the exact same thing.

I'm pretty sure they refer to the inability to type ß. Which is a real concern for type writers, less so for most keyboards. I'm writing this using an American keyboard and I don't see why I shouldn't use "ß" j

For me it was just "the thing everyone was talking about". Was amazed when I discovered EventSource and puzzled why it wasn't more widely known. Axed the socket.io complexity immediately. Thanks for putting the word out about

Depending on your concept of time, it very much is. If you choose the same abstraction of time for reasoning about the program state and the real world, the same "reference" might change its properties over time. The speed of a ca

* All modules are automatically in strict mode, so global scope: fixed? * `new StructType({x:uint32, y:uint32, color:Color})` - looks like integers to me..?

Maybe my comment was misleading - the important part is the property read, not the `console.log`. The following code might be an infinite loop in JavaScript: function adder(arr, obj) { for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; ++i) {

JavaScript is complex enough that pretty much any code inside of the loop could end up doing an array push. Even `console.log(myCompletelyUnrelatedObject.x)` (given an evil property descriptor).

I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing: I was talking about runtime state (think: singleton instances). A directory wouldn't solve that problem.

Actually this article points to the reverse happening - they build bridges to be able to connect to each others protocol to work around having to use a common protocol.

That benefit would be a breaking change. Node modules are stateful, so two packages suddenly sharing their dependency could have nasty side effects.

I don't think Java is a good example for OOP best practice. For exactly these reasons. I can't think of a reason this should be allowed. It screams "I'm trying to misuse class hierarchy to do specialization instead of us

Well, derived classes are meant to be drop-in replacement for the base class. In that sense it totally makes sense that you can't have a non-generic child class of a generic base class. Otherwise it encourages design where classes are

Given small releases, patches available, and a very detailed history file - what's the problem? It's enormously easy to construct a repository in your favorite VCS from that information. There's more than one way to keep a de
