Please do not do this. Please. Build up your commit with git add -p (which requires an editor), then git commit -v and check what you are committing again.

Well the first part isn't true, but what if I do? Everyone has shitty days at work where all they want to do is leave, go home and have a glass of wine and crash. If I'm frustrated with some task, can I not say so? If I've been stuck on som

surely you could just run lljvm on the llvm IR that ghc emits and have haskell code on your JVM?

The idea of an employer needing to judge me based on what I say/do on Facebook makes me really uncomfortable. Facebook is my social life, not the company's time or anything, and if I'm a decent worker + programmer just let me be? For ex

most 50 KLOC projects were not written by one person, but rather by lots and lots of them. For example the scala compiler + standard library: find src -name "*.scala" | xargs cat | wc -l = 244,601 git log --format="%an" | sort | uniq | wc -

This is definitely a good way to explain the appeal of vim, but this is exactly what IDEs let you do. In intelliJ: oh I need to introduce a new parameter here, cmd-f6 -> add a new parameter, set a default and it does it across the ent

syntax is not the only thing behind language design. at all. the semantics of a language are equally (if not more) important. you also need to recognise the importance of a good compiler, one which gives good error messages and optimise

Auto-generated code ftw! Pretty sure twitter also used to have the same thing for time conversions as well.

Can ICC compile the Linux Kernel yet?
401.
by octo_t 14y ago
ICC is (in terms of basically all optimisations) leagues ahead of the open-source compilers. The vectorised code the compiler produces is also a lot better. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/11227902/1346405

Is there a better C++ IDE than XCode? Serious question, works well with cmake and all the other tooling people use with amazing autocompletion (given how hard parsing C++ is)

Imperial College London, I believe the Oxford also teach Haskell to first year CS students.

At university the very first language we are taught is Haskell. Lots of people had never programmed before, in anything and everyone managed fine. Nothing scary at all, no need for an understanding of category theory or anything. Monads a

Parsing S-expressions is easy: Dijkstra solved it in a really nice way with the Shunting Yard Algorithm.

Well seeing as Chrome is also webkit based (and is used for the spider), you'd imagine google would make a lot of contributions it :p

antlr is great for rapid prototyping and testing of a new language/grammar, and will check whether or not your grammar is LL(1) or LL(*) etc.

How much development time did this cost though, when you could have been adding new features and improving the user experience?

Is Maven too complicated for you or something? Those are just the latest version of the various libs.

Sorry, in task based parallelism I meant in terms of no need explicit threading, which is both good and bad. Disclaimer: my thesis is on a very similar system for a different programming language (before this paper was released), with some

This is task-based parallelism and does require significant (and verbose) annotations of the source code.

Yes: https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr Clojure can run in the CLR, so if you have .net/mono you can (presumably, untested) run clojurescript onto top of the CLR If you could port clojure to emitting LLVM bytecode or similar then it w
