.Net has done such a thing with Application Domains since its very early days on Windows. Recently they've decided it's not worth the trouble to move over to .Net Core. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet

Agree but these came from DOS days, and were just always brought along for compatibility. I think it could be argued that there's such a thing as too much attention to compatibility... Edit: MOST of the no-no file names come from DOS,

I think you're right, it's not exactly rare to have these kinds of problems on Amazon. Here's an interesting example: Stroustrup's "A Tour of C++". A purchaser warns: "Buyer beware: Amazon is selling count

I'm guessing that the buyers will decide for themselves what it will be "about", lacking any privisos about allowed usage in the fine print.

I'd probably be more willing to dive in with Kotlin if there were a reliable way of translating back to passable Java. In other words, an escape hatch in case it doesn't work out, or the use of a not-Java language causes too much

Why limit focus to shootings, simply dissuading the intruder is far preferable and probably much more frequent. In my experience most gun owners don't want to shoot anybody.

No OO style interfaces here, Ierator and IntoIterator are traits, which are more akin to a type class from Haskell than an interface as seen in OO languages

Kudos to the team. Anybody know if we can we train in languages other than Python yet (or do I have that wrong)?

For the few std lib calls that I make in web apps, I just use Bluebird to promisify() node style callbacks into promise style code, always worked fine for me.

Just to add one thing because it's neato: the core collapses the moment when the star begins doing fusion on iron , which is the first fusion in the chain of successive fusions to absorb energy instead of produce it.

by sixbrx 10y ago
As discussed in the thread, that doesn't work given that we're trying to avoid extra storage, it adds an extra tuple member to the class. It's still true as of the latest compiler just like it was in 2009: $ scalac -ve

I shouldn't have included nominal typing - it seems the instanceof operator actually works, e.g. see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24705631/typescript-myobj... . But in TS itself structural typing is used

by sixbrx 10y ago
One thing you might miss in TS is the ability to just try to check or cast an object at run-time to check that it's really of some nominal type, or structurally compatible with some type/interface. TS can't do that because i

Which post # in the discussion did you have in mind? There's some misdirections in that thread with ideas that didn't survive the javap test (which I think rather makes my point). I may do Scala again in the future and would like

Is the excessive virtual dispatch still really slowing down simple for loops in Scala? I thought Paul Phillips did a special-case fix for that. That's very disappointing if that's still a problem. When I programmed in Scala, I fe

I thought the comments aboout Typescript were misguided (not familiar enough with Angular to judge those parts). The whole point of using the any type in Typescript is to dodge the typechecker. By declaring the parameter in the example

Ditch the returns and semicolons in the latter, then if is your ternary op, just more readable in cases where a and b are expressions more complex than in this example.

Hell I'd be happy if it were used to describe sequences with more than just two values. I hear it constantly used in comparisons of just two quantities where the intended meaning is just "a lot more".
