If you think you can do asyncMap in Google Go, without casts and without manually collecting multiple return values, by all means show us the code. I would find that really interesting.

by 0xABADC0DA 14y ago
Even so why would you write that boilerplate code out each time? Something like this would work even better: result = src.asyncMap { |e| dowork(e) }; Except Google Go returns several values instead of tuples, so you can't just coll

In IE10 the JavaScript is multithreaded... there's a separate thread for JS parsing, compiling, and garbage collection. As far as I know this is the only browser with a threaded JavaScript VM. So the skipping frames is probably because th

The real problem is the software libraries are just as hard . Take OpenSSL for example... it's almost easier to learn the crypto than to figure out the API. Here's a good one: an SSL read/write operation can fail with more than one error,

The only actual proper thing in this whole affair was Apple's lawsuit. As Samsung was copying them right down to the shape of the charger Apple felt they had a real case. They lost, but disputes are supposed to be settled in court when th

Thanks for the help. I see now you can get the URL by using the source browser then clicking 'checkout' to get the svn checkout URL. I just wanted to check out the source, but setting up an Ubuntu VM to isolate gclient and that other nonse

I don't get it why they make it so difficult to get the source code. TypeScript: typescript.org click "Get the source code" click "Download" Dart: dartlang.org click "Download now" click "Check out" the source

Yes. Your filter bubble won't let you know that anybody else finds it creepy. "If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included."

How would this be different in a different concurrency model? That was actually the point. You have the same space considerations. Being coroutine instead of native thread is just a small constant factor... if this factor is important t

But remember that this is in contrast to C threads, where 64 kB is a tiny stack and 1-4MB is more common. Yeah not really. C threads normally have a fixed-size contiguous virtual memory space allocated to them, but the space they don't u

Why do you think this is Apple's fight? The iOS 6 comes out 5 years after the original iPhone. That's a nice round number and it's highly likely that there was a 5 year contract and Google simply refused to license Maps to Apple at any re

I think this is exactly the point. You have to read the comment to get the error types (isn't compiler accessible), it doesn't list what all the possible error types are (doesn't say the ones documented are exhaustive), and the code return

It's actually worse than that. The blog has error handling code like: if err := datastore.Get(c, key, record); err != nil { return &appError{err, "Record not found", 404} } This is pretty typical Google Go error ha

Apple's maps will never reach Google's. There is one way Apple's maps already surpass Google's: no advertising. For instance the iOS 5 Youtube app never showed ads, whereas the new app store one shows tons of them. Sometimes 1/4th of the

So when somebody says a language is "slow" ... he picks arbitrary and unspecified parameters fitting what he wants the result to be, and then declares he was right? That's natural language for you, but if you try to understand what the as

Languages are not fast (or slow), implementations are. Actually implementations are not fast (or slow) either, hardware is. Not like that matters. When somebody says a language is 'slow' they mean on typical hardware, under some common

The 'defer file.Close()' ignoring errors is used throughout the examples for golang so I assumed it was the same here. My bad. you insist on making the wrong choice up front, which is to use defer for something which is non-trivial. Clos

I think you pretty much proved my point. NaCL is a sandbox, the very thing that should have the cleanest, clearest delineated lines. But there's no standalone version, no stub version. And you seemingly need a PhD in Chromium to even fin

Your "source" link doesn't have source, see: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/native_client/trunk/src/nativ... The other is a link to a build of pnacl sdk that also doesn't include source (src/ folder is empty). Am I being dense here? Wher

I see hundreds of APIs and beta APIs. There's no source code repository. The python scripts to download a SDK refer to Google "private_svn". So Google spends 6 months working on the next version and Firefox and Opera don't even get access
