I am going to agree with You here. 1gb is enough to store the names of all the people on earth, if you compress it. Why a web browser cannot display a simple page with maybe 1mb of data (images) is a mystery to me. An old ipad 1 is faster than a Cray XMP, the fastest machine in the world in 1990. but it sucks at a webpage.
Why.???
Layers upon layers upon layers of abstraction. It is not called the Turing tarpit for nothing.
You know why Hurricanes are named after women? When they arrive they are all wet and wild and when they leave they take your house, your card and everything else.
OS X was not a rewrite, it was NextStep v2. You take what is there and go on with it. Besides, Objective C is waaaaay better than C++ and God forbid, C.
Just because someone states normal engineering practice which involves momentum of tools used to implement a system, just like happened in Microsoft and pretty much all companies does make not one a cultist. Buying a system in language X and going on with it is not not bad, it is normal.
Besides, Objective C is not that bad. IT is certainly better than programming in C, and the clusterfck that is Qt or Gnome. Have you actually ever used interface builder? It is a brilliant piece of design. Apple took it from Next and developed it further because it is really good, not because they are a cult.
Maybe it was continued to be developed by Apple otherwise they would have had to rewrite their entire damn OS? Microsoft used C++ and developed it because otherwise they would have had to rewrite their entire damn OS?? Maybe? Seriously, languages have something called momentum, and once you started (or bought it, like Apple did) you are stuck.
Prolog failed because the syntax is horrifying and the evaluation method is...weird. I wrote an entire compiler in Prolog once, it worked and worked well, but it was just a functional program with bad syntax. The compiler would have been better if written in Haskell (which, incidentally, the compiler was for, as I did not have a Haskell-like compiler at the time).
Actually, most digital cameras let you plug the CAMERA into the laptop with a USB cable, and the camera itself acts as the card reader. Which is also a problem on the Macbook because the laptop does not have a old USB socket anymore. That is way more stupid than the loss of SD-Card
My Camera still takes fine pictures. It is also 10 year old and has CF Cards, not SD Card and certainly not Wifi.Digital Cameras are more dependent on the lenses than the sensors, my old 10 year old EOS is just fine. Which is why I am not planning on throwing it away anytime soon.
Bingo. Fully agree with you. I refuse to use Windows 7 because the UI sucks donkeyballs. It is really, really, really puke worthy bad. Windows 10 is much nicer. It is like the ugliest dog you have ever seen vs Brigitte Bardot's ass.
Chris Lattner has a wife, I am pretty sure he does not want to fuck you. But if the features are so compelling that you want to have sex with him, they can't be all that bad, no?
Also, ruby, Java, Python and, em, pretty much no other language have direct C++ interop. C, sure. C++, not often.
Swing works in principle, but a Java app always looks loke a Java app, which is a bit...different. That said, have written quite a few Swing apps in my life.
Agreed. The chips do exist, but Intel is gouging the market.
I have a 2 year old 14 Core Broadwell Xeon, giving 28 threads. I got an engineering sample for about 350Euro but usually they go for 2500+. It runs rings around anything else I have worked with. Intel could sell those for much less if they want to. Even the Mobo is not much more expensive than a high-end i7 board, it runs on a straight X99 board, albeit without ECC RAM. The chip can do ECC RAM on a server board. It does not even eat that much power. As a virtualisation workstation it totally kicks any i7's butt into orbit, passmark is about 18000. The chip can also run in dual-CPU config, which would give me a 56 thread 36000 Passmark machine, with a 500 Euro motherboard that can go up to 256 GB DDR4 ECC RAM. If Intel brought down the prices of their high-end Xeons instead of forcing chumps like me to buy their somewhat risky engineering samples they would sell zillions of the things.
And that is the previous generation, the newer v3 chips have even more cores per CPU.

So much for your theory then.
Clojure is used in the browser with a JavaScript implementation and it is not really a toy, but whatever.
I use Ruby for lots of serious things, but whatever.

Where do you people get you hate from?
Brainfuck with a type system. Wow. Now there is an interesting idea.

You are joking, right?
Oh thanks for dumping that word in here. Now the whole thread smells bad!
I have 128 GB of DDR4 ECC RAM in my Desktop and it cost about $400

Good luck with that Linux game thing.

Ok, ill bite. Tell. Me about dynamic relational databases
The price for razer should be less than the bounty. And thy have a target account to track. How hard can it be?
Yay for this. I want macOSX on my 28 core/56 thread dual CPU Xeon workstation, please.
The new version of JavaScript, ES6 also has var and let. Coming to a browser near you, real soon!
As the saying goes, you can't use 9 women to make a baby in a month.

You are way behind the curve son. Elixir is where the cool kids are. Get with the program!
