Really, a complaint about somebody going through the effort of avoiding these complaints?

Not really. The program can define the stored procedures on startup.

You would prefer to wait a month for a security update rather than get it as soon as possible, is what you're saying? Even when the update process is as non-tedious as Linux's?

As long as we don't expect Linux to exist for another 85 years ;)

Ironically the disk IO probably far outweighs any decoding overhead. Also, from what I understand: Not only did they include raw audio, they included raw audio for every single language, even in the download version.

Nonsense. Net neutrality doesn't factor in at all. Bad infrastructure problems are not solved by net neutrality. Net neutrality regulation prohibits telcos from actively throttling certain types of content, traffic to certain sites, et

Sorry, but that sounds to me like anti-regulation/anti-government mumbo-jumbo. You're insinuating Google won't be able to compete because it's going to be illegal for carriers to actively become worse than they already a

What, why? Google Fiber, municipal fiber, etc. will continue to exist and grow regardless of how broadband is classified. Title II doesn't mean "no competition."

But it's a useful exercise to limit the discussion to TVs exactly because most TVs don't need any Internet connectivity at all! They just need to display input from other devices that are connected to the Internet. The trend for

They recently changed their name. Could be that they wanted to use the domain for something else initially.

To a lot of programmers who maintain code, those two are the same.

It's widespread because they can be used to store values (ephemerally.) For things like session tokens that need to be accessed quickly and often, but change rarely, using a cache (e.g. in front of an RDBMS) is often a decent choice.

Right, but there's nothing wrong with being a good programmer who needs to refer to the library docs more often. What's "oh please" is the notion that you can never be good at programming unless you've been using Pe

Languages aren't all that different from each other. Most of the knowledge is shared between them (with a few exceptions like imperative vs. functional.)

But that's a pretty silly complaint if that's really his argument. Nobody except kernel devs cares if the kernel needs to do case folding when it's 98% a UX issue.

I guess his complaint is that lower(str) == lower(ostr) is more code than str == ostr...? :)

Oh, come on. Don't take things so seriously. There are tons of Haskell programmers who don't know C, too, and Rust is just as much of a way for them to reap the benefits of C as it is anything else.

Sure -- basically what you said: http://science.raphael.poss.name/rust-for-functional-program... Of course it's not exactly Haskell, but it's arguably closer to FP than it is to C, yet manages to be approachable t

by thirsteh 12y ago
You could say that Go is Python and Rust is Haskell, because, well, Rust is basically Haskell cleverly disguised as a C-style language so as to not scare away imperative programmers.
