Like Php and other languages, Ruby has one severe sickness: “One thing Perl’s my() gives you is a guarantee that you aren’t stomping on a given variable. For example, if I’m in a block of code in Perl and want to use a private variable I ca

A github issue (#34) was opened, and you released a changed version soon after, but it remained unusable for me (in the meantime I upgraded to 12.04 and did not test drip since then).

by olaf 14y ago
My experiences with drip were very mixed (on Ubuntu 10.04), it did not make a stable, reliable impression on me. I wouldn't recommend it for professional use.

I think, OOP-polymorphism added some value to programming languages, people who criticise OOP (and not its more or less useful application), have mostly not understood it. One can use it where it's useful, elsewhere one can use better techn

I think the purpose of Go is to solve some of Googles very specific problems (e.g. easiness feeling comparable to Python, short compile teams, ease construction of concurrent internet server apps), not to enthuse anybody. If I see it as an

On Ubuntu 10.04 compared to Open Office Writer 3.2, storage of a 209 pages document with Libre Office Writer 3.5.4.2 is even slower. Program startup of Libre Office Writer is also slower. Minor detail: after unpacking "LibO_3.5.4_Linux_x86_

Is that the language with `pass`?

I think, the question is wrong, because of Browsers/Javascript. Not much C++ in sight there, for scripting Browsers/DOM. Even Stroustrup mentioned JS as one of the programming languages programmers should know.

It's not very effective to hate. I would prefer "fight/act effectively against the people who make/are responsible for the rules of the (dirty) game."

Yes, I get some 32-bit issues, gfortran and some packages ( -dev) were not installed, still getting an error 139: JULIA sys0.ji Segmentation fault make: [sys0.ji] Fehler 139

AI-Blahblah, some people haven't realized, that AI has not delivered yet, and it is unclear, if it ever will. I wouldn't bet on AI to happen. I suppose, that we humans will have to solve our problems ourselves. No childish waiting on some b

Maybe you want to try the lightweight Windows-GUI-IDE "BlackBox Component Builder" by Oberon microsystems AG, Zurich (Switzerland), based on "Component Pascal" (AFAIK an improved Oberon-2 descendant). Latest downloadable version is 1.6RC6 s

"What are Go's ancestors? Go is mostly in the C family (basic syntax), with significant input from the Pascal/Modula/Oberon family (declarations, packages), plus some ideas from languages inspired by Tony Hoare's CSP, such as Newsqueak and

From my point of view, this is an explanation not a justification. More or less deceiving visitors is not ennobled because everybody else does it.

Just to clarify: I mean the ads (mostly 2 or 3) with light yellow background at the top of the middle-column (search results), not the ads in the right column.

I never knew. How can that justify that they deceive many users?

Do you automatically sanction Google's deeds? I think, they are clearly doing evil in this case.

I think, this is a dangerous illusion, nothing will get easier, there will always be enemies of freedom, fighting hard for their goals (control, exploit, suppress others)! I suppose, this fight is a never ending story.

As an Ubuntu user I think this is just wishful thinking. My estimation is, that if Ubuntu has enough stamina and accelerates in the following years, maybe in 10-15 years they come much closer to where Windows is today.

I never understood any hype around AirBnB, my hunch was and is "stay at a distance, this is somehow dirty". As an afterthought, I think, they sell an illusion, sack in money and let their customers alone take at least one huge risk. For me
