I would guess the problem with sockets is in the whole creation process. Instead of just calling open() on a magic pathname (like how you deal with devices in Unix), you call socket(), then bind()/listen()/accept() on the server side, or co

The same issue for the text input occurs in more mature markets like Japan and Taiwan as well. As I remember, the iPhone had crappy Japanese input when it was first introduced. I am told it has gotten better but I don't really know. Anyway

Yeah, I have a minimum font size set on my browser (necessary because my eyesight is bad and virtually every site wants to use font sizes that I simply can't read) and this site looks like crap as a result.

Anyone who has written an extension to a garbage-collected language in C will have run into this issue. Personally I've written extensions for Guile, OCaml, Ruby, MLton, and Java, and all of them have tricky rules for making your C code saf

This reminds me of how Microsoft used to get royalties from OS/2 sales.

Yes, which makes it basically impossible. The House has voted more than once to end the diversity visa entirely.

Well... it is a horrible thing to do, but... I've had girlfriends I wish I did that to.

If you don't already have a job offer, this is kind of moot. It would probably be easier just to go to school and then do some internships.

Because of the purity and laziness in Haskell, it is difficult to reason about the performance of what you're writing in Haskell. Fundamentally, a computer is not functional - it does everything via side effect - and I think Haskell goes to

I have basically switched to SML from OCaml over the past year, and to be honest there aren't huge differences between the languages. Objects, classes, polymorphic variants, and labels are all missing from SML, but none of them are a big de

My guess is because of petroleum exports. Presumably Norway would not be able to have a tariff on exports to other EU countries if they joined the EU.

I find it more than a little disturbing that the first time you really used C was to figure out the PHP interpreter. It's among the worst C code I've ever seen (aside from code I've seen on dailywtf). After I had to debug something in the P

In third world countries a similar dynamic is common for government jobs. For a job where you can collect a lot of bribes, you will usually have to pay to get the job in the first place, and also kick back a certain portion of your income t

Maybe CL looks at Padmapper and thinks "oh great, somebody else did it and now we don't have to".

Few schools teach C at all anymore, let alone as a first language.

The transition isn't going to happen until the cost of IPv4 addresses is much higher than the cost of switching to IPv6. I would say that the cost definitely has to be higher than $11.25 per host.

The best in my opinion is Linode. Their service is just outstanding and they don't oversell. They are not the cheapest though.

Deodorant. Japanese deodorant sucks. I've heard of people bringing toothpaste, but I didn't think there was anything wrong with Japanese toothpaste. Enough shoes and clothes to last you until you come back - they don't really carry American

I agree with most of this but I just wanted to emphasize: kanji is where most people fail. A lot of people think listening/speaking is the hard part (and it can be if you're learning a language with the same writing system as English, like

Just one city or one metro area? And if the latter, do you count Silicon Valley in the same area as San Francisco?

There was a major power outage in much of the northeastern North America, affecting tens of millions of people, and almost no looting (aside from isolated incidents in Ottawa and Brooklyn) there either. There was a major terrorist attack in

Facebook doesn't seem to be dying to me. But personally I've never used used it, and neither do any of my friends (who all grew up with BBSes and IRC in the 90s and still use the latter). Looking at how quickly Myspace seemed to die though,

If you are able to read random parts of a book on an as-needed basis, then it's probably a reference book. Of course you don't usually read something like that straight through. Most books are difficult to read in random order, though. Mayb

I haven't used Scheme in a while now, but I remember that in practice every implementation provided CL-style macros. I think the only reason it never became part of the standard, given that it's dead simple to implement compared to hygienic

Setting aside the difference between taking a tangible thing and copying an intangible thing, BitTorrent is more like a pickup truck than bolt-cutters. It's useful for transferring large files, like a pickup truck is useful for carting arou
