While it might seem like things are shifting back towards static typing, I think that is primarily happening in the development of technology now but not the use of that technology yet. I think these predictions will probably appear to be t

singlequotes for strings is very much a standard thing in JS. And two space indentation is fairly common as well. The no semicolons and space after function name are really the weird things here.

spoiler alert I wouldn't say this necessarily points to the "main" character, as its just one measure of a character's significance. Littlefinger (Petyr on this diagram) is rather small and on the edge - but he's

I have a hard time thinking of people making 6 figure salaries as being an instance of capital exploiting labor. Part of why the average length of employment is only around a year is probably that employees are choosing to go elsewhere for

There's a lot of comments related to the legality of this and whether or not it violates either the GPL or at least the Linux trademark. Even if it wasn't technically legal, I don't think the right parties have anything to ga

I don't think they can do it with Generics because of an architectural problem. And while var is probably the best approach to having type inference, I don't even think that's a particularly important feature if you're c

I'd have to disagree with code quality in regards to PHP. While the way it's traditionally done can have code quality problems, that isn't something which is inherent in the language. I've had great results working with

The issue is that politicians also need to appease their donors, which is why they just generally protect the elites. But that doesn't make what Dotcom did any less criminal. In my opinion, they're two entirely separate issues. An

Crime which costs U.S. companies directly leads to a variety of issues. But basically, it means America has less wealth, and the government has less tax revenue. It makes plenty of sense for them to enforce copyright laws. It's a net p

I've found it hardly happens at all if you avoid wrapping the cable. I just toss mine in my bag, and it's hardly worn at all.

It actually uses the MacRuby stuff to compile to native. But the compiler can't optimize nearly as well as it can for statically typed languages, so there's a pretty significant performance hit on the ruby code itself, though once

Not all microkernels. There are many newer ones which have much better performance characteristics of their predecessors. Mach, however, has rather slow IPC, which would be a problem for Hurd.

Exactly. However, it looks like their IntelliJ based IDE is still included in Solo, which I missed initially because they put it at the top of the chart. That's a considerable improvement over MonoDevelop

Some components are open source. So as long as you don't need the Interface Builder or Eclipse/IntelliJ support, it'll still be free. They did raise prices though.
165.
by jsmith0295 11y ago
And they've already raised the prices. Edit: Actually, they've just changed their "startup" pricing and it isn't publicly available anymore. It might actually be better, if they allow you to have more than 3 devs.

I haven't for any real projects, I've only played around with it. But it seems like there's a decent number of people using it today, so my guess would be that waiting isn't necessary. If I were working on a cross platfo

From my understanding it isn't that great. But Kotlin works well and it's far better at those things than Java. Theres also Clojure but I don't know how well supported it is. Running both of those on iOS is also possible via

You already can (sort of): http://RoboVM.com It also works with other JVM languages such as Kotlin which is somewhat similar to Swift.

Well the MacBook Pro's are ultra portable and super thin now. The laptop would probably have to be at least 20% thicker to make for enough room for an ethernet port. And since 90% of MBP Retina owners probably rarely if ever use ethe

They shouldn't comply with this. Better to lose the entire French market than to set a precedent of allowing themselves to bullied by governments. I would imagine people would vote to get rid of this once they're unable to use Goo

I can also confirm that this is extremely common and basically standard practice. I frequently emulate my users when doing tech support. Even if this wasn't the case, unless everything in the database were encrypted per user, I could j

Why did they have to tear all of these innocent burritos open? Savages...hopefully they at least let someone eat the remains...

I think they really love it because they have plenty of time to take courses online while they wait for their Scala code to build.

"the global supply chain that exploits workers" can we please stop perpetuating that ridiculous myth, in the countries in which sweat shops exist, they are generally far better options for laborers than the alternatives.

You can't use the amd64 build as the raspberry pi is ARM based. There is likely a raspberry pi build available somewhere though.

The solution is simple: websites just need to start detecting adblock and refusing let someone use the site with it enabled. If you don't like it...go pay for an ad free service. Nobody deserves to get something for nothing. Edit: Addi
