  1. Re:Who needs native code on River Trail — Intel's Parallel JavaScript · · Score: 1

    Try programming a GPU some time. Also - opening up space for kernel level exploits for teh shinyz is stupid. Also, JS should be natively compiled and optimized before being received by the browser, source only as fallback - who is gonna notice some ARM and x86 snippets in the web sever cache?

    Hell, it could be an interpreter.

  3. Re:I thought VisualBASIC was dead... on Microsoft Previews Compiler-as-a-Service Software · · Score: 1

    Matrix operations aren't uncommon - if the compiler can't optimize all that - well, get a better one.

    With color coded syntax highlighting - no.

    *sigh* That's what you get with fashion/electronics designers, pretending to be system integrators, dirtying the names of Cray, Sun Micro, SGI, IBM, et al.

    Ok, don't put three, just one.

    Well located modal buttons has been a mainstay of good phone UI design, something for which Symbian based feature phones have always been good for. The PC approach to phones (one generic UI to rule them all) isn't all it's cracked up to be.

    Tell me one technical weakness of the D programming language that is hindering it's adoption.

    Windows has a very simple convention that deals with that. The Advanced button.

    It's called first mover advantage - look it up.

    All you are gonna do is trigger the creation of share derivatives.

    It's in the nature of any free market to have a first mover advantage. Geek card - you suck at economics.

    The perverse service-based mass-outsourcing infinite growth short-term thinking economy of the USA and other countries is the drain. HFT firms provide a modicum of market stability, and not a too expensive one at that.

    The long term matters - on the decision making level. You need short term as well, to maintain liquidity, and market stability.

    Well, the code generation stage of your compiler could enforce it, using semantics gained from, you guessed it - the type system.

    Qt has database connectors, sqlite compatible. Aqua isn't part of that framework, it's the window manager. Explain to me, what the hell are you quoting the other APIs for, they don't have a use in general purpose software. Oh, and, Qt is a platform framework - it covers more than most OSes do, educate yourself. WTH is fast restore? Per app hibernation?

    The NT kernel handles concurrent user fairly well, thanks for (not) checking.
