Are you kidding us? You cannot compare 'human lives' by comparing dollars. And surely, the site does not "cost" one 50th of "a" human life.

I'd say that's a huge performance hit (return, check, call instead of jump). Plus, your JIT might not like it.

Thanks for the clarification. If I read you correctly, you say, the JVM 'supports tail calls', because it can call other methods. I think, the phrase 'supports tail calls' is as meaningful as 'supports function calls' then. In any case, I d

by lysium 14y ago
If you want to be pedantic, the JVM does not support tail (function) _calls_, but jumps, which may be the result of tail call optimization or elimination. As far as I know, we still cannot efficiently turn mutual recursive calls into a chai

How is this supposed to work given the JVM does not support tail calls?

by lysium 14y ago
I don't think having a single statistics point is enough to make a judgement here. There are many different programs of which compilers are a very small and relatively rarely used subset.

...without running gdb? I think this eases the workflow if you're not always running the application from within gdb. Btw, does gdb expand inline calls in the backtrace?

That's cool! Eases the workflow when developing cpp, no need to fire up gdb to make sense of 'Segmentation fault'. Reminds me of tiny-cc's default output for segfaults.

Does one thing or a few and does it well. I haven't checked, but for starters you possibly could look at the download size.

I agree: doesn't make sense to support versions that run on unmaintained Ruby versions. I didn't see that when I posted.

I'm glad there is Sinatra because it inspired Scalatra, which seems way more lightweight than Play :-). Keep up being lightweight! I don't blame the authors for discontinuing old branches (1.2.x), but it makes me hesitant using Sinatra for

What's the point in 'count up vs. count down'?

While it's sad to see pseudoscience in TED talks, keep in mind that this was on TEDx, a local venue of which there are hundreds, which the author mentions himself. I think, you can't blame TED for not checking every speaker at every local v

I'm all with succinctness. I'm wondering how much this has to do with F# per se than with imperative vs. functional programming language. I think the same applies to Java vs. Scala / Clojure. (For example, in German, http://funktionale-pro

Aren't airlines providing cheap tickets at a discount rate but with extra restrictions (no baggage, etc.)? Or discounted tickets that cannot be turned back, even when you are sick? I mean, if you don't like that, by an unsubsidized phone. I

I'm with you that you could by a non-subsidized phone. However, one of the points of the petition is that unlocking is currently illegal _even after the original contract has expired_. Why should that be allowed? The original contract is ov

Interesting read! I assume, this is all not portable? Or is there similar functionality for other DB, say MySQL (not that I am aware of) or Oracle?

Hm, how is that site supposed to work? Looks like there should be slide, but I can only see the title page.

I'm wondering how they perform the password reset. Surely, you must know more than the username. But they cannot rely on the old password either, because the whole thing was set off by assuming that the old password is hacked. And they advi

Nice scroll-UI! Took some time to see the clickable items. Interesting bits about spam pages.

This article isn't about innovation. It measures 'innovation' by 'quality' of filed patents. It measures 'quality' of filed patents by how often each patent was cited in other patent applications. So, the article actually finds: after going

Nice! Small glitch: shows the visualization twice if enter is pressed twice quick enough.
