"To me this is one methodological weakness of type theory, the commitment of having types for all terms in the language. Why is that? Types are designed to facilitate composition, but the natural unit for program composition is not the

I'm not that familiar with PCRE, but I think that this engine is used in a variety of programming languages -- but not Perl's, as it's used to provide Perl-compatible regex. PHP's Manual for PCRE links to pcre.org, so it

The free Seaside book and also the free Pharo by Example book are great ways to learn MVC. The only downside is that after using Seaside and a Smalltalk environment, you will probably be dissatisfied with not having such awesome features av

Actually, I read an interview with one of the Rust devs recently where he said that one of the meanings behind the name "Rust" is that they purposely chose not to use any ideas from programming language research within the past 10

A remarkable article. I have no real interest in boxing or photography, but this was fascinating and thought provoking.

As my boss, who has built our nearly 20-year old company in Perl, says: "If you wanted fast, why did you choose Perl?" I think that the comment you were responding to implicitly meant "Perl performance vs other dynamic langua

I haven't had problems with AMD drivers on Windows, but on Linux I tried the AMD proprietary driver recently based on hearing good things. The version in Ubuntu 14.04 had noticeable tearing when scrolling, and Team Fortress 2 froze my

Can someone help me understand something? If a VM has no attached floppy drive, is it still vulnerable? The site says that disabling a virtual floppy drive is not enough, but if there's no floppy drive at all is that still a problem? &

I use knockout.js at work and like it quite a bit. But I think that I've found what you're looking for, or something close to it, in Reactive Extensions. It's a free library available for many languages including JS. With it

Yes, rewriting Perl 5 in Perl 6 would be quite an endeavor. However, that's why Inline::Perl5 was invented. It lets you use Perl 5 libraries in Perl 6 code: use Inline::Perl5; use MyProprietaryModule:from<Perl5>; use YAML

I interpreted the comic more as a statement about how important Github is to development than that it actually goes down all the time. So if it were down, that'd be a fine excuse to do nothing. :)

The sad reality is that if Google doesn't patent it, some troll or some other big company will and that will be the end of this tech. It's a horrible game, but the alternatives are pretty bad: 1. Google never develops anything new

I'm curious to find out what problems you ran into in your music library, but I suspect you were downvoted because of your tone. That being said, the reason I'm curious is because there is an entire book about writing a music pars

Something that's kept me from pursuing learning F# is whether I need to know C# and/or Windows development, plus concerns about lacking access to Visual Studio. I'm learning Scala now and found that it's relatively appro

After submitting this, I'm not sure that the author's slides alone really provide enough context about "reactive" in order to understand the criticisms he's making. To understand his criticism requires some familiar

Yes, the flexibility of virutal dom is really nice. I started to use it with rxjs (Reactive Extensions) only to discover that someone else is already doing so: https://github.com/staltz/cycle If you really want a funct

By "tens-of-thousands of threads" I think he means something along the lines of how in Erlang/Elixir an object is often a thread, and a library a program. By giving so many threads "for free" you make blocking cost

I also recommend this book/website. The pacing is good and it gets into some of the really nice parts of Clojure, such as handling concurrency, with clear explanations. Heck, it even has a small intro to Java so you can interact with t

I'd love to use IntelliJ, but no matter what obscure hacks I try, I simply cannot get it to render fonts properly under Ubuntu 14.10. This makes me sad, because it seems awesome for Scala.
