Escaping spaces in every command is not super fun/user friendly.

I obviously also feel you have no idea what you are talking about and so far you have provided no supporting evidence or justification to your argument. Nor did you elaborate on your experience on the topic. I don't care enough about y

I meant faster execution. Browsers don't do that and can't do that because of the dynamic nature of JS. Chrome can do 31bit signed integer computation when it seems it possible, but it still needs to be converted to 64bit doubles

You can skip type checks, avoid unboxing performance hits, avoid changing map deoptimization, use integer for math heavy computation instead of doubles and the list goes on.. The potentials for speedups is significant.

Stress is a damage and mental health is valuable.

Look at the harsh responses that we can already see on HN and you will understand why I usually prefer to remain silent on such topic. A lot JS devs seem to feel very strongly about any kind of change.

Wait. I can't cast Netflix to my TV from my phone anymore? What the f * are they expecting us to do? Surely they can't be that stupid?!

I think our legal systems are just too different. Malpractice is handled by the professional order's Syndic along with all sorts of minor offences such as misrepresentation. It is part of the judicial system. It can impose fine, traini

In Canada it would be illegal. You need to be a member of the professional professional order to be able to call yourself an engineer. I have a BS and a Ph.D. in EE, still can't call myself engineer (nor doctor).

It's not enough. I have a bachelor's degree and Ph.D. in Engineering, but I still cannot call myself either engineer (I'm not a member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec) nor Doctor. And it is fine. Professional orders can

No. It's about public safety. Do you want anybody calling themselves Doctors and making surgery without proper training? How about civil engineers building bridge? How about software engineers that work on medical devices that can kill

You just can't jail everybody that avoid DRM or blocks ads. There would be nobody left to pay for said prisons.

Piracy is still booming. It kind of support my point that ad-blocking laws wouldn't be enforceable, just like anti-DRM laws.

by jpambrun 10y ago
Not sure Anti-ad-blocking laws are practically enforceable. Even with the ad labeling requirements relaxed, unless it is truly deceptive, a CNN could identify it just as well (or better) than we can.

If I have no incentive login again, you should probably not ask my email. This service is a nuisance just like all those sites that require an email for no good reason.

I understand that I easily get annoyed, but it is the first topic of the article. I mean.. why even bother to comment if you don't even read the first few paragraphs?

I had the same issue with a previous patch. The forced update resulted in 4-5 restarts, totalling about 30 minutes, to install and then uninstall the update every two days. Needless to say, that this is a bad user experience. In the end, I

It's fun and scientifically interesting, but the decoder model is 87MB by itself.

That sounds incredibly stupid. Can I just start a spamming operation where I "allege" people owe me money and hope they don't respond within 30 days?

I know that some medical image viewers use server side rendering for segmented volumes. Such tasks are computationally intensive and usually involves very large datasets. With server side rendering, you can easily and efficiently stream vid

And, if so, is it hardware accelerated or a software implementation? Edit: And, how many concurrent context could it support?

Yes, but it raises barrier of entry. Furthermore, the proposed firewall will be trivial to bypass with VPN. So that is not exactly fool-proof either.

They could blacklist payment to those sites with the help of credit card companies. Having a government controlled internet firewall is a Pandora's box that should never be opened.

Next step is those pesky newspapers because they critique the state.

This is the argument of somebody who is profiting or care deeply about somebody who is profiting from this. 1% is less than the inflation (even more so is the real estate is shooting up), this means that city spending will increase by more

I'm pretty sure that the OQLF works on a complaint basis.
