In no way. If you read the B.S. writings (and I recommend he favor the world with a middle initial) he is always concerned with teachability of a feature, which is pretty understandable when you consider he's an academic.
Now, what an academic is doing having a successful programming language with real-world applications is another question...
We combat diseases that are supposed to be effective as population-control (yes, yes I know, I'm a sinister/twisted person).
That Darwinian view tends to be OK for others. It's when we ourselves are hit thereby that we seek work-arounds.
Necessity mothers both invention and unintended consequences.
I think Jeremiah Cornelius's response in this thread that human beings are a 'cancer' in the 'cell' of the world misses some of the more obvious feedback loops in play, like war and falling birthrates.
You wouldn't be hinting at some convergence of business, law, politics and media, would you?
Fidel, Fidel, Fidel, the world is not Cuba; elsewhere, real freedoms exist, and people both think and vote critically for leadership featuring impeccable integrity. Oh, wait...
What percentage of languages are either:
a) have at least one major implementation in C, e.g. CPython
b) have a syntax borrowed heavily from C, e.g. JavaScript, or
c) ensure that C extensions are readily integrated with them (a lot)
No, Netcraft isn't confirming the death of C anytime soon.
I did not know until almost crunch time that it was on the limit of what non specialist printers can handle, in terms of number of pages
When you consider that all both of the likely purchasers probably live in the same basement, AW's decision might be seen as a bow to reality.
Less smart-assly, there is always Wikipedia.
I, for one, would be interested in reading it, in all 1600 pages, ~8MB of its glory. But that much information begs to be introduced in smaller chunks, and I'm currently savoring Knuth's TAoCP, which might offer some ideas about how to instantiate hardcopies.
you still aren't getting the fact that just because a title on a slashdot article says something, it doesn't mean it's true.
I bet you don't believe in the Easter Bunny or Iraqi WMD either, do you?;)
The fact that the title, itself, draws the Luddites out from under their rocks is really at the heart of the issue; music or/. title, there is communication going on, and the audience reaction is difficult to gague.
Perhaps the title riff was a little too heavy on this one?
Oh no, I do quite get it. There is reality, and the engineering challenge of modeling reality in hardware/software.
However, a certain Luddism gets evoked. Part of what makes Joe Satriani the Tower of Power is that he has a) programmed his own brain to play like teh shiznit, and b) creates his material wholly from scratch (notwithstanding "Sleep Walk" on Strange Beautiful Music and some live cuts with G3).
The intense humanity of Keb' Mo' playing "Am I Wrong?" shan't be touched by hardware, or, if, in fact, it is someday, I simply don't care to hear it.
In spite of my reactionary attitude about computerized music, I think superb engineering is an art in its own right.
Of that tripe? I sounded like 3km of booty. My piping is sufficient to reproduce some modest material in a tolerable way, but I would be quick to point you to anything on the Lismor label, the 78th Frasier Highlanders in particular.
While not modern enough for a full-on web site, you can see a museum of such in Germany
The pneumatic piano with the drum holding four violins, in particular, was interesting, if only from a mechanical engineering perspective.
At any rate, when your gadget can move Mt. Fuji, you shall have accomplished something.
I broke my pipe down to pieces (the chanter, believe it or not, is the longest segment) and put the four-reeded monster in a tote.
Ascended Fuji. I was #2 in the group to reach summit.
Assembled the instrument. Splitting headache from the ascent.
I played "Amazing Grace" and "Morag of Dunvegan" looking down into the crater.
The mountain was moved.
For 500 yen, a fellow lit off a blowtorch and stamped the foot of the chanter (a hard-plastic Dunbar-Eller) with some Kanji that say "Top of the Hill, 3220m" IIRC.
Trying to play the instrument at that elevation qualifies as full-on stupid, but WTF, it's braggin' rights on/., so I got that goin' for me.
tell us something about the complete destruction of Buddhism in Afghanistan, of Zoroastranism in Persia, of Christianity in Iraq
The bolded parts, at least, are not factual.
When ranting,
a) have enough sack to attach your name
b) get the facts straight
Rants need to be bulletproof to do anything other than bolster the position of the attacked party.
Well, in Kirkudbright, Scotland, stands a building which has served just about every conceivable function the last few hundred years, including jail. This lists none other than the Father of the US Navy, John Paul Jones himself, as having cooled his heels therein.
The fishwrapper I got at the building allowed Jones was an "intense bass-player^W^W infamous pirate", which was amusing to me, a US Naval Academy grad, where Jones' body currently resides, swimming in brandy under the chapel.
So, there was a little raiding going on, and we certainly didn't lack intent to commit mayhem. Note that I haven't researched it; the piracy for which Jones was imprisoned might have pre-dated the Revolution.
Aside--bad week for USNA. We lost two SEALs in the helo in Afghanistan, and VADM Stockdale.
The Almighty rest their souls.
Beyond fake, one would suspect a percentage of the information is of the honeypot variety, and will lead to a knock on the door at an unreasonably early hour by some nondescript fellows with a subpoena.
Ah, but training and quality products can shift the operating point of the system towards the company.
As the baby eventually gives up the bottle, so the workforce can wean itself from the help desk.
Unless we're talking about one of those bottom-feeder outfits that just wants to bring in entry-level fodder, chew them up, and spit them in the direction of better companies.
The patent system is borken. Whatever noble effect of encouraging innovation it might have arguably once had, it is far from that lofty height today.
Or, maybe it's just a lawyer welfare system.
That, and setting the UI back to 'classic' mode, so that stuff is where you remember.
But, hey, as long as the market mistakes 'tarting up the UI' for actual development, this is what we'll see.
Thanks for screwing up peer to peer connections for legitimate things like videoconferencing and file transfers.
This is often called Quality of Service.
IPv4 has no clue about packet priority.
But let's get cynical; whenever we need to keep the economy going, someone will sneak into law the requirement to make new US government projects implement IPv6, which will drive hardware/software sales, which will create an installed base, which will take us to a tipping point.
And that, amigos, is how the sausage is made.
Take a random computer and peripherals[1], to include an 802.11x network, and set up WinXP with the default Admin and a Limited account, and make it all work smoothly for the Limited account.
Still haven't unkinked it all, even with O'Reilly's WinXP Hacks book, 2th Edition.
And my other partition is a source-based GNU/Linux distro, so, while I may be an idiot, I lay claim to being a clever idiot.
Back on topic, the problem is the amount of MSFT in the portfolios of decision makers.
The stock market is a vast, perfectly legal, source of conflict-of-interest. Sorry, no realistic remedy.
