I'm not saying anything. He is. I think there is a good balance between using third party library (possibly untrusted) and plain C. Kind of an analogy to centralized network vs decentralized.

The problem with #3 (Abstract C with libraries.) is that, while there are less place / code to audit, in case of failure (e.g. a security hole in said library), damages are everywhere. A good exemple is Daniel J. Bernstein. The man doe

There are no such thing as "UDP connections". UDP is datagram based : you send a packet to an address, either it reaches its destination either it not (regardless of the order). A packet can be dropped in case of network congestio

WebGL is just an OpenGL ES 2 binding to JavaScript. OpenGL ES 2/3 is a subset of OpenGL 3/4. Angle translate GLSL shaders and OpenGL calls to DirectX

You always give a transaction you received before in order to spend coins. However, you're supposed to use a fresh (source) address for every new transaction (the wallet software does it for you). You can't (with the default walle

It's a rewrite of the engine from scratch, focused on parallel computing. So yes, it's going to be a massive improvement of speed, security and overall revamping.

You're right, I wasn't saying that it's the only way to write allocation/assignment. I was saying that in that case sdscat() matches with sdsnew() style.

by paraboul 13y ago
To be consistent between allocation and reallocation (like malloc() and realloc()). And you still want to access the old value if reallocation failed.

That's not the point. Thing like this can inspires wannabe game developers. Reading through large source code can be very discouraging for someone that want to start programming. Things like this show that with a little bit of Math and

"cash out" is a wrong word. Bitcoin IS a currency/cash. The goal is to buy actual things with it and not necessary exchange it with another currency

I think you missed my point. I'm not criticising what phobolabs (who is very talented BTW) has done or what any end-developer is doing. It's just crazy how the standard is slow to come up with new basic APIs. I mean, you can make

It's awkward that in 2013 we have to complexify design to this point : "Streaming video through WebSocket (thus over http upgrade) through a plain-tcp-to-websocket-proxy on top of...". It feels over-engineered and like TCP-So

I know MagicalTux since 1999. So when I said "close friend" I meant, I was used to call him "MT" in real life 13 years ago.

IIRC Acid1 only targets basic CSS compliance ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid1 ). I guess that most of the DOM API (end user level) has yet to be done along with the javascript API (binding) controlling it (e.g. XHR,

AIO still "sux" (e.g. doesn't support async open()'ing). What we need is non-blocking flag similar to what BSD socket offers and then use whatever I/O notification API you want (epoll).
