For anyone who checked this thread again, I'd just like to say thanks for all of the replies.

Congrats and a big thank you to the team. My favorite language and compiler just got a lot better with this update.

Can anyone knowledgeable here speak about statistics offer some advice? I'm about to get into a project where, for the first time, I'll need to do some statistics processing and visualization. I haven't started on that component of it yet,

Static compilation via C, C metapogramming/manipulation using Mathematica's symbolic engine, dynamic library linking, GPU use via OpenCL, lots of new statistics and probability processing/visualization...

There is a man whose job is to each day enter my property and deposit garbage into a receptacle, which I am then legally obliged to dispose of. He is the mail man.

Sure. These machines cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, offer no additional security, and take naked pictures of you. There really isn't much to discuss.

I give this the thumbs-up. I'm not particularly fond of X11. In fact, I suspect it has been holding back GUI on GNU/Linux for a while.

Or you could just pay these two dudes to build ladders that have worked for 100 years.

No, I think it does tell us something about the author. He decided to look for confirmation that Apple fanboys are especially egregious. Why? I would guess that he has some problem with Apple or some of the encompassing culture. Whether ran

You get the same chaff from internet dorks if you talk about anything that people are likely to attach their identity to: video game systems, programming languages, bands, whatever. There's nothing special about Apple fanboys. They're just

Looks like Apple's emoji, which they added as a Unicode font in iOS to avoid implementing an extra layer of software just for emoji (relying on the telco to translate the codes sent via text/email from non-iOS devices) made the cut. Might s

This is the second time I've had to post in one of these Squaretrade threads. Please, people -- Squaretrade is a company that makes profits by hedging selling 'warranties' for 3rd party products. If you don't cash in the warranty within a c

Lately, the window of time for which a new Android phone remains the new hotness is one or two weeks. Sometimes no time at all, as a better phone will be released before another has even made it to market.

This doesn't have anything in particular to do with C/C++. It's how IEEE floating point works. Anything that provides access to an IEEE 754-compliant FPU will display this artifact. The author is confused and thinks this is some feature of

Whiny and with no facts to substantiate his claims. Note that the only data he cited is provided by a company that sells exploitative 'extended warranties' for 3rd party products (SquareTrade), and that it's in their best interest to cast t

The real reason media companies are frustrated (no, really) by the iPad and iPhone is that their entire workflow, and often culture, are based around Flash.

My bash configuration is pretty simple. ... It also sets my PS1 which only puts out the current directory. I figured that I already know my username, and hostname. Haven't been using *nix for very long? Just a guess.

The Twitter people continuously surprise me with their incompetence. And yet, we keep using the service. Hrm.

Awesome. Thank you, Apple. Just throwing my comment into this thread in case anyone there is reading. Some of us really appreciate this move.

The same people that own the TV news own the newspapers.

Is it just me, or has 'the news' gotten worse over time? I entirely stopped following news and news media about a year ago. I'm always a little frightened by it when I see any of it poke through in places I still visit, like HN.

Retune speed is not a very relevant control when you aren't using auto-tune (proper name or generic) in fire-and-forget mode. If they're trying to cover up its use, they aren't using it in fire-and-forget mode. They're using it in graph mod

The author of this article makes some naïve assumptions about modern auto-tune systems, including but not limited to Antares Auto-Tune. His primary mistaken assumption is that an auto-tune system will snap a note perfectly into alignment wi

Haskell works fine on Windows. Some of the lead GHC devs use Windows machines. GHC even comes with a Win32 binding that lets you do GUI programming (doesn't come with a GUI kit for any other platform standard.)

Got me on the first and last ones. Cool post! I think the fact that I got the first one wrong made me err too far into thinking GCC was smarter than I had first assumed. And it is, but only for certain things.
