Maybe XML could be the right tool for some jobs, it's just that the entire industry have searched for these jobs for the past two decades, and very few have turned up. In other words, it's a solution looking for a problem, and i

Just as I suspected, you did know the history, you were just feigning ignorance. So I suspect you do know the relevant internation laws as well. But allow me to quote myself: > The UK recognizes the PRC as the successor regime of China,

Have you been to, read about, or seen any news about China in the last, oh I don't know, 50 years? Or did you make up your mind about China during the height of the Cold War era and you're never going to change it no matter what?

I can't stand it either. But I think I'm beginning to understand it. It seems that's the way it works for competition in the consumer market. Consumers respond to the coolness factor in a major way. Microsoft probably

I checked it, and the case you linked, out. So there is a similar law in the US, even though it's not named "National Security Law". And you can be prosecuted under that law. How different is it really, from the situatio

> "do" is a terrible keyword. Not at all. "do" helps a lot to make the code read like English and thus more understandable.

There you need the word "each" to convey that it's a loop. I'd certainly agree that "for each" is much better than "for" alone.

There you need the word "every" to convey that it's a loop. I'd certainly agree that "for each" is much better than "for" alone.

by UIZealot 6y ago
It's only natural if you already know that a for-statement is a loop. "while" is no better without the "do".

> "Clean this item and put it away. Then do that for every other piece of cooking equipment." Without the "do" it's nonsensical. And that was exactly my point.

It's kind of sad that "for" is the keyword programming languages settled on for the loop construct. Ever since its counterpart "do" was dropped from the for-statement, it's just been utterly nonsensical. I mea

I'm glad you are so sure. Maybe the new national security law of HK is less than the Platonic ideal of a perfect law. Is it also fair to say that you think the National Security Law of the US is bad too? Since chloerei stated that it

I agree that always sending content-length would be ideal, if it didn't come with the extra work and costs on the server that you mentioned. Chunked encoding is simple enough to implement, avoids all those issues, and would allow a Gem

by UIZealot 6y ago
I share your concern. Since the response body is not encoded, there's no safe end-of-response marker byte(s) to use. So content-length seems like the way to go. But knowing content-length ahead of time is difficult for dynamically gen
