This is one of my pet peeves. Any language can be either compiled or interpreted. I think what you mean is, "No one has written an interpreter for Rust." But that is also nonsense, as all compilers contain an interpreter. The diff

Hahaha. Definitely different in English. Adverbs I can think of in English that don't end in -ly: Fast, slow, quick, well. That's all I've got off the top of my head.

No, "fallout" is not a noun form of "falling out." For one, "falling out" is already a noun phrase. Secondly, "fallout" refers to the lingering effects of some larger event. It doesn't apply here

The missing piece of this for me is: How do we fix X.509 for mobile apps, considering 80%+ of mobile usage is in apps, not browsers?

Haskell is actually a very fast compiled language. Especially for webservers, where its concurrency shines.

According to the article, they spend over $400 million a year on ink . It doesn't matter whether that's inkjet, or laser, or what. If they use 25% less of it, they'll save 25%.

Are you advocating that medical regulations NOT be based on scientific evidence? Or are you simply saying that the FDA's standards for new procedures are too conservative?

Except they explicitly state that they don't do this. They refer to the 50% charge scheme being used in the Chevy Volt and claim they don't do that.

Li-ion batteries are only dead after 2 years if they are abused or their charge/discharge life is used up. Properly cared for real world Li-ion batteries last for 10 years or more (in spite of Isador Buchmann's claim to the contr

Preferring to Respond to Change over Follow a Plan doesn't mean you never follow the plan. It means that when changing circumstances conflict with your plan, then you respond to the change rather than blindly follow your plan.

by nardi 13y ago
I think they worded it correctly. Notice it doesn't say, "Responding to Change over Making a Plan." Your version is horribly ugly. Theirs is succinct and poetic.

In which the author gets really excited about idioms in Clojure that don't seem that exciting.

Isn't that what happens when you convert to grayscale? (Assuming the blue and green end up with the same gray values.)

Pedantic point: A unit test would not have found these. Presumably in a unit test you would mock check_if_ca. Only an integration test would have found this. Sorry for picking on your comment in particular. I could have replied to any num

I love how this proposal "fixes" a bunch of non-issues, while making it much more difficult to write a JSON parser, and then doesn't address the only real problem with JSON: That it doesn't have a date/time type.

Steve Perlman always comes across as a snake oil salesman, but I didn't think he could do OnLive either, and that technology works fantastically. As a result, I'm pretty excited about pCell, even though it's being preceded by

Is there any reason this same technology wouldn't work with light? Wouldn't that be a phased light array?

You need to stop and smell the billiard-ball-shaped roses, my friend. Not every pursuit needs be in the name of industry. Some people enjoy mathematical puzzles for their own sake.

Does anyone know what happened to magneto-resonance? That sounded like the way wireless charging was going to go a few years ago.

Yes, Vladimir Voevodsky says HoTT is based on Martin-Loef type theory, but he discovered HoTT by learning the CoC used in Coq, and is implementing his Univalent Foundations library of proofs in Coq. That implies that HoTT is implementable i

Yeah, that's the problem. Hadeed could just strip out customers that had negative experiences from their list, and then sue those customers for defamation.

I think you misunderstood me. When I said "helps people think/learn", I meant by USING programming, not by being TREATED with programming. This is the same distinction Bret is trying to make.

If you were aware of Bret's previous work, then you would know that he's got nothing against code.org specifically. He's addressing the culture. He's been talking about Mindstorms and programming literacy since before co

Well, yes, it's a functional programming language. But not one like most people here are familiar with, so that's a little misleading. It's also an object-oriented language with polymorphism and inheritance. Specifically, it&
