  1. Re:Instant SETI on Smarter Clients Via ReverseHTTP and WebSockets · · Score: 1

    The parent's point was to get inter-node communication, which plain AJAX can't do. Though some Javascript libs can change that.

  2. Re:FTP anyone on Smarter Clients Via ReverseHTTP and WebSockets · · Score: 1

    Uhhh, I'm starting to regret that the TCP/IP stack is... well, a stack. Aspect-oriented programming with message passing FTW!

    So, all you'd need is a server-side $Programming_language_du_jure-to-Javascript compiler.

    I'd really like to see a driver written in javascript. Honestly, I'm curious, I see no reason for that not to exist, I just want to see it.

    Can't people just use a single lower level AJAX toolkit that's always in cache?

  6. Re:FAT CLIENT is NOT the right FIX on Smarter Clients Via ReverseHTTP and WebSockets · · Score: 1

    Those lines of code need to be executed, and since the major OS vendor(s) can't be arsed to standardize, everything is DIY. You can avoid resending with a persistent ( [browser] || {cache)[ing proxy}.

    Try making compilers for a procedural, and a functional language, and call me.

    Mod parent up.

  9. Re:The web-application-forever-trend? on Smarter Clients Via ReverseHTTP and WebSockets · · Score: 1

    Flash is orthogonal, out of stack, if you will. GWT is a development tool, AJAX is an interface standard (to the XMLHTTPRequest object). So, web apps boil down to UI and persistence (HTML 5), a method of communicating (HTTP (those layers on top of it are gonna be implemented one way or the other) (I'm a Lisp fan BTW)) and basic UI manipulations and control (JavaScript). Seems a reasonable stack to me. The browser is just taking X11's place, and I don't think that is an issue. The protocol is simplified, and with better compactness (mod_gzip, anyone?), better performance on UI interface manipulations when dealing with WAN type latency, and JS interpreters are scary fast and getting faster.

  10. Re:Consistent and Manditory Ruleset. on Smarter Clients Via ReverseHTTP and WebSockets · · Score: 1

    How about just a standardized protocol for querying the router? From the application layer, of course. Something XML based right under a POST targeted at 192.168.1.1 ought to do it.

    What's the issue of a having a simpler point and click interface for configuring port forwarding?

    Dude, I'm a 15 y.o. who's written less C in his lifetime than most /.ers in a day, and even I "get" Lisp, though I'm too lazy to write any. Then again, I'm in to weed, so that may explain some things...

    Makes a world's difference when making a compiler.

    If you're going to spill serious money on computers, get a Thinkpad, do some research for Linux compat, throw Ubuntu with Etoile on it, and you'll get something at least equal to a Macbook. Sure, app compatibility with mac apps won't be there, neither can you use I/O Kit drivers, but Linux is mature enough to make them a non-issue for general usage.
    BTW, did you consider trying QEMU instead?

  15. Re:Type erasure on Scala, a Statically Typed, Functional, O-O Language · · Score: 1
    In order:
    • Strings -valid complaint here, nothing to say.
    • Information passing - Java support templates,IIRC, for that object array,and if templates don't solve the casting problem, subclass core types extending them with appropriate get() and set() methods, and box the variables.
    • Null checks - See above.
    • Inheritance. Java has an Aspect oriented extension, if not several. and if combined with interfaces give you a simplified form of multiple inheritance, which is what you are looking for.
    • Cases. Isn't polymorphism a key trait of OOP? Can't you implement an int interface for those data types, possibly on top of templates?
    • If I understand Java philosophy, everything is an object, can't you make a namespace wide override of the exception class to suit your needs? If not, then it is a valid complaint.
    • XML. Isn't that supposed to be a function of the preprocessor?

    Actually the name was supposed to be a throw away account, since buggy slashcode took 10 min to register my comment, and I posted it again, promptly getting modded redundant.

    Don't bother with Geek Squad. I don't think that a hard drive upgrade would be hard. PATA-SATA converters are dirt cheap. Though I'm not sure about the rest.

    Yeah, but you can put as big a turbo as you can find on a diesel. Try that on a gas engine and you'll have some piston shaped wholes on your bonnet in short order.

    Actually, PCP would actually have him acting schizo, since dissociative anesthetics are used for clinical modeling of schizophrenia. It would either cause that, or make him phase out, in both cases, weird, but not in a useful way.
