It's very sad to read this. Often you read comparisons from Westerners comparing UK privacy laws to China's and it's easy to brush it off as being sensationalist. But to hear that from someone living in China is really worryi

Only yesterday I was raging at Flash for continually chewing up my CPU and RAM. I hadn't even considered setting limits on the processes. So thank you for the suggestion.

You know, that's entirely possible. I was playing around with different methods of passing data between goroutines for increasing performance and I knew one of the methods I was testing wasn't idiomatic Go. However since I wasn&#x

Whichever you're most competent in. Any of those languages (and many others) would be a suitable option, so it boils down to what you are most proficient in.

I'm interested in more information about why you decided to alter GOMAXPROCS and what your results were from testing. I've had a play with this myself and found that it cause sporadic and unpredictable crashing (very different sty

Exactly. Arguing that one is better than the other is like arguing over which colour the best. Which is why I get so utterly sick of Perl being compared with Python - they are all going to have their strengths and weaknesses so at the end o

You don't need support for complex data types for a shell to be described as "REPL". REPL is just a Turing-complete real time interpreter. Which means even the VBA "Immediate" panel in (as seen in MS Office) is REPL

Perl's pseudo-objects are, in my opinion, one of the weakest aspects of Perl. So I'm not going to disagree with you that many other languages do that one thing better. But it's not always appropriate to nest your objects that

I hear this argument time and time again and it's simply FUD. Bad Perl is no different to bad C++ or any other language with a flexible syntax. But it's also the same visa versa. The problem with Perl is most times people are expo

Thank you for the recommendation. I will definitely schedule a visit some point soon.

I know this is possibly the saddest thing anyone has ever said, but the computing museum is one of my favourite places on earth. It's a joyful place with so much old technology yet a refreshingly hands on attitude. I don't think t

It's not that surprising news. NT has supported ARM for a few years now and the Raspberry Pi 2 is a pretty beefy board - all things considered.

Oh I didn't think it would replace HTML. For me the appeal was because VRML was the closest thing we had to the 3D rendered remote mainframe logins that Hollywood hacker films loved to show off. Running around a VR modelled web page ma

The hardware has been ready for 15 years already (just think of all the 3D multi-player games and Second Life clones out there). What we had to wait for was the technology to be reinvented a dozen times before client side web languages fina

The moment you push any kind of culture underground you automatically make it harder and more expensive to control. So the smarter move would be to legalise the less harmful drugs but create a safe, controlled environment for sale and usage
