I'll readily admit the languages were marketed that way, but would argue inheritance was a functional, but poor, imitation of dynamic message dispatch. Interfaces, structural typing, or even simply swapping out object types in a langua

inheritance isn't required for object oriented programming. the primary facet of oop is hiding implementation details behind functions that manipulate that data. adding values to a dict via add() and removing them via remove() should n

It's a bad point. Forcing companies to maintain internet forums just because third parties may want the data in them isn't a reasonable thing to legislate.

No, I don't know what you intended to say there if not what I initially read it as. It seems a straightforward reading to me.

You've had multiple people "misunderstand" your comment. I suggest reconsidering how you express whatever it is you are trying to say, as I and the others are responding to what you managed to actually communicate, whether th

I disagree entirely, and I have personally witnessed people lose themselves to drug use. Anyone with a relative dying of addiction has no doubt been long exhausted in watching them circle the pit of their addiction. They are going to be und

Routing in progress connections to a new module seems a rather different thing to me than merely routing new ones.

erlang has a code_change function in the otp that allows the gen_server to update its current state and start using new code. No connections need be broken with clients, no long running processes need be stopped. Just updated in place. It&#

for an English example, I just mentioned in another comment that while brown is merely a shade of orange, we instead treat them as separate colors, culturally.

brown is just dark orange, but is treated as separate culturally.

If the universe is just the universe, it needs only the number of particles in the universe.

I don't have references, just bits of notion from reading various accounts of things online over the years. Most of the software that was distributed as an image would also run as an image and stop by saving that image down to the disk

While not serialized to a database, memory-dump/snapshot based distribution was done with smalltalk and various lisps. Basically dump the gc and the executable just reloads it right into RAM. Wasn't the best from what I've re

Linq uses a bunch of iterators functions that accept lambdas. C# allows them to capture the lambdas as an expression so it can convert the expression into SQL or whatever. it also has an SQL-like syntax you can use that is compiled into tho

this just makes me wonder if there could be a good way to publicly track tendency towards such malignancy. reputation tracking for the mostly anonymous relationships we have with businesses these days can be difficult.

I don't think anyone is questioning the strategy, just the naming. Polling, as a term, already generally means asking if there is anything ready. The library might instead have had a poll() to indicate readiness and an unsafeTakeReadyB

this is why you build to a specific version of a library. drop your build script into a container with the versions of software it expects and it should do fine. containerization is the admittance that versioning environments is needed for

it always surprises me when people have this takeaway, as "first actual case" clearly indicates prior not-actual cases, where the term was merely used as a metaphor for errors.

>I can't think of any language where networking (or graphics for that matter) is built into the language. Erlang has cluster aware message passing built in as a fundamental aspect of the language.

the original definition is likely tossing shell commands in a file to run later. chaining commands together. since perl and python supplanted this, they get lumped in as 'scripting languages'. both certainly can be used to write l

by knome 2y ago
'scripting' is an ill-defined term with many interpretations, certainly.

by knome 2y ago
generally they aren't, as scripting usually implies an interpreter, though no one is stopping you from using a wrapping script that quietly compiles on first run and caches a bunch of executables somewhere. not much different than pyth

Unless there are two languages called Objective-S, here's a site for the language: https://objective.st/ I'll have to look closer at this later, but it doesn't give me a good feeling on first skim.
