In aggregate, I neither like it nor hate it. But here's what I hate: * It's even flatter than the previous layout, which makes it more difficult to use. In particular, it's easy to miss the branch dropdown. * It no longer sho

Here in PAL land, though you'd already know this, you could get a related effect with some palette swapping. If you flipped between colours with the same luminance (pink and green, for example), you'd get an intermediate colour. M

TBF, it was never announced as such. But I can at least appreciate opening the code up for people to see.

Too "fourth wall" for you, I'm guessing? I mean the whole game was heavily fourth wall from the beginning. (That's as close to a non-spoiler as I can get.)

This is something that unfortunately doesn't have a straightforward answer. Prolog ended up being very influential, but its very nature meant it was never going to become mainstream. Prolog was intended to be a way to program using l

My guess is that GP is referring to WireGuard, not this specifically.

Buddy, you can make all the "logical arguments" you want, but if you can't back up them up with evidence, you're just making guesses.

I would recommend the Consent-O-Matic ( https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic ) plugin. It doesn't get rid of everything, but it does automatically fill in the forms on practically every website, and you can su

This amuses me as it reminds me of the performance issues Mork ( https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mork ) had, and introducing SQLite was originally a way to fix that problem.

by talideon 6y ago
No, I understand. I just think that your comparison with _node.js_ when there are a bunch of confounding variables is nonsense. Get rid of those and then we can look at why "nodejs will beat flask in this same exact benchmark".

No, we're not in agreement. You're confounding a bunch of independent things, and that is what I object to. It's neither fair nor correct to mush together CPython's async/await implementation with the implementati

by talideon 6y ago
You're not completely off. There might be issues with async/await overhead that would be solved by a JIT, but also if you're using asyncio, the first _sensible_ choice to make would be to swap out the default event loop with

by talideon 6y ago
If I/O-bound tasks are the problem, that would tend to indicate an issue with I/O event loop, not with Python and its async/await implementation. If the default asyncio.SelectorEventLoop is too slow for you, you can subclass

by talideon 6y ago
CPython doesn't have a JIT, while node.js does. If you want to compare apples to apples, try looking at Flask running on PyPy.

That is genuinely genius. It's just a pity it didn't occur to anyone back in the day. Edit: OK, not sure why that got a downvote. Did somebody think I was being sarcastic or something?

You appear to have entirely missed the point of the paper. This is an exploration of a mechanism for implementing generics in Go in the future. It's not a proposal for a new programming language. The "Featherweight Go" referr

The population of Iceland is also highly concentrated in one spot on the west of the island. We're talking over 1/3 of the country. If you take in the Greater Reykjavik area, you're talking about 2/3 of the population. P

One hilarious part of all this is that I'm not strongly contemplating getting a mortgage and buying a place _purely_ on the basis that between taxes and repayments, it would cost me 2/3 the amount I currently pay in rent.

I don't think Go was ever really touted as cross-platform, beyond not having to deal with dynamic linking hell. After all, I can't take a random binary built by the Go toolchain for Linux and run it on FreeBSD, MacOS, or Solaris.

You might've been thinking of HotBot, which was part of the Lycos network along with WebMonkey. The '90s were definitely a time!

by talideon 7y ago
Sure, and that's why I wrote 'along with a bunch of other stuff'. Writing something like 'MacOS is based on FreeBSD' implies a situation more like Sony's OrbisOS, which isn't the case with MacOS.

A shared lineage is a very different thing, however.

by talideon 7y ago
The MacOS userland tools were taken from FreeBSD, along with a bunch of other stuff, but saying it was 'based on FreeBSD' is a bit of a stretch.
