More so considering the city might want to close down the bridge (eh... open it? lift it?!) remotely in case of an emergency. They might also want to throw in some traffic condensation sensors and cameras for security and/or tickets an

Python can do it. As I'm sure every interpreted language can. e.g. ./data.py: me = "RamiK" EOF ./code.py import data print(data.me) EOF

Really a shame for them to resort to such unscrupulous tactics. I quite like 1&1 too. Their mail.com mobile interface ( https://m.mail.com/int/ ) works with NoScript and is perfect as far as my needs are concerned.

Java (Vs. Visual C++) had the industry and Academia trying to break free from Microsoft's grip by going cross-platform and later in-browser. Dart just doesn't have that kind of driving force going for it.

Was mentioned in the article, but often overlooked. Drakon is an old school FOSS diagrams-based visual-editor that outputs C (and Java, C#, Erlang...): http://drakon-editor.sourceforge.net/

Seems decent enough to me. If I can park a non-tech staffer on an Excel course for an hour instead of having to hold his/hers hand and explain how a spreadsheet works I call that a win.

Great. More windows azure ads, goggle apps for business, board development kits, development ides and car insurance ads for me to click on just to screw with marketeers. Makes you miss all the porn\antivirus popups...

Why should the opposite be any truer? Without any evidence to prove otherwise, calling the cops is equally wrong.

by RamiK 13y ago
Extensions don't break standard compliance so I didn't bring them up. Note that both C++ and GNU C have similar extensions but under different semantics which don't make them any less ANSI compliant. BTW, be careful around th

I'm thinking about the pre-processor not supporting #if and the requirement for function prototypes. I suppose the extension you have in mind are the extra libraries for dealing with buffered io, unicode and concurrency. But I don&#x27

That's incorrect. Plan 9's C is a restricted ANSI C variety.

Before Generics, the Garbage Collector needs to be sorted out since that's what dictates the optimizations and abstractions in the rest of the safe code in a very significant way. e.g. Simple scope issues like "Do I allocate this

Businesses never had the stomach for basic research. It's why progress is traditionally done in one form or another of a governmentally sanctioned monopoly.

For this discussion's sake, there are two forms of communication: (1) The public forum you can meet up with new people and talk. (2) And the direct message sending kind like phones and emails. Though the NSA is actively monitoring both

Agreed. Even more so, essays, like the serial novels, are antiquated formats from the time of letter-writing and paper publishing. At least the Victorian novels gave way to their readership's desires and moved to a more concise format.

Fix the GIL. Python 3 isn't getting used because it breaks backwards compatibility without offering many meaningful benefits. Sure, the syntax clean ups and the new sugar are nice and all. But you don't rewrite a working code base

There is a simple and very fitting solution to this problem: mandatory minimum sentences for white-collar crimes.
