I wasn't talking generally but I'm interested to hear about any purported benefits of conflated responsibilities.

Where do you see behavior mixing with presentation in wxnim's GenUI? The only thing that the macro is used for, besides saying what to draw and how, is to define events that the elements emit.

TL;DR: Contribute to "open source" >[code review feedback] is like getting a free-of-cost personal guidance about how to write good code It's not free for the reviewer who's trying to safeguard project quality. If the

Clever. By "built-in" I didn't mean just "available" as through an API to a third party library (which is a full blown DBMS in your first suggestion), I meant "integrated" as common types are (and lightwei

So Firefox, Safari and now Chrome. Provided image hosting sites start accepting APNG this may finally mean the end of GIF. Why now though?

I don't think any forum would allow you to post the location index simply because it would take too much space to store it.

I asked why anyone would think that vmklinux (the linux derivative) and vmkernel were independent. Please refer to the quote from the license I've provided, and belorn's thought experiment here.

I didn't study the busybox connection, but why would anyone think vmkernel and vmklinux could be "reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves" especially considering the source from the sfconservancy si

If anything, NULL's opacity is another argument for doing the comparison. NULL is guaranteed not to equal any pointer to an object/function, and the result of the comparison will be an int 0 or 1.

To paraphrase the comment above that line, they say its purpose is to avoid accidental assignment. That's not an issue with "not equals" though, but that may just be their point. As for whether it's more readable, I&#x27

I'm all for building tools to explore CS. However I believe the question they responded to expected a replacement for what I understand to be a very "pragmatic" development environment.

The world is big; you can find a few people doing whichever thing, even if weird. But unlike free software developers, companies are still mostly local (as opposed to remote). That's why I'm guessing you're indulging your int

Don't know how to put this... The tech/tools you enumerate give me the impression that your problems are not directly related to (commercial) software development.

I like snappy as much as the next guy. But then I switch to another UI and find myself delighting in animations (the very ones the author deprecates). Animation disguise loading times or make them more bearable. They're useful for conv

I recognize that we can have different goals, and you may value flexibility over safety. However, it is not a matter of opinion whether software safety (and therefor availability) benefits from checks performed before run-time. Conversely,

I mean no offense to people who like dynamic typing. However, dynamic typing itself may just deserve to be dissed. But I'm not sure. So tell me if I'm wrong. I probably shouldn't have used the word bubble, sorry. See my respo

by paxcoder 10y ago
The popularity of dynamic typing, I think, was at its peak around 2010, mostly due to the purported rediscovery of the "good parts" of the only client-side language for the web, the unprecedented acceptance of Python by academia,
