Yup, lazy, functionnal, imperative, object : for each problem there is a better solution. However maybe there would be at then end a language where :
1) syntax could be made a little less strange so that people knowing C (like python by example and then adding its own concepts) could make simple things, simply 2) different paradigms should be coexisting peacefully - fast, simple inner loops in C, structured, object in ($dynamic language), algorithms needing such kind of concurrency or metaprogramming, possible also.
nope, features (portability, simplicity, stereo, 3D,...) always (often) beat Quality.
Think Tapes vs cassette, Cinemascope vs VHS, DVD Audio (and HiFi even) vs MP3, LCDs vs. CRT (much better image vs flat screens )...
Maybe SHD is better for you : there will be Audiophiles for 2D (maybe they will be called Pictophiles), but if (and there are many good reasons it might not) 3D catches on, Super ultra 2D high def will be a niche.
Why "before" ? I think 512Mb RAM / 1 or 2 GHz + decent speedy harddrive IS enough for most consumers, playing (moderately recent) games (maybe upgrading to a newer $50 video card), playing (moderate) HD, MP3, browsing sites, any office work usings lots of ajax/ on FF3.
You know what ? you could even (gasp) code on it (maybe not compile eclipse every 5 minutes, OK), run a small server on it, or transcoding videos (maybe 4x more slowly, so you'll end up letting it run for the night instead of 2 hours from time to time. big deal)
Of course, SOME people might need more. For most of us, 512Mb/1x2GHz is perfectly enough (see eeePC).
It does seem ridiculous when any form of security is built around proprietary software telling you what you can and can't do. Isn't that the definition of DRM ?
The python version reads from an iterable, so it can be a request from a DB or an XML file sending its result one by one. In the case of the Db, the filtering will however be done by python and not in the DB.
However, there are alternative ORM python syntax to DB mappings, such as django syntax
AnimalCollection.filter(type='monkey')[:10].order_by('age') (talking about simple orms, not full sqlalchemy table declaraions)
Being able to customize filtering of container classes for iterators definition would be cool anyway.
why pay for ram in your HD that only can be useful for it when you could buy multi purpose normal ram which is user extensible, cheap, and used by the OS when it is useful for caching and used by apps when they need it ?
[OT]Sir, I'm not a native speaker, but would you explain what carpflooding means and how it relates to slashdot/code ? Google returned three incomprehensible references (incl this citation). well, four, now that I posted this.[/OT]
There's very little point having specialized cores when you've only got two. Like, say, a CPU and a GPU ? I would have thought it was pretty efficient.
I think it all breaks down to how much specialized-but-still-generic-being-computationnaly-intensive tasks we define and then implement in hardware.
Well, I guess if it is any good, and the target audience being what it is, a random guy will use the "PrtScrn+paint" rendering technology and post it somewhere, so I'll avoid installing Silverlight for this, thanks.
the French have their guy on an 'incentive' program. The more manifesto promises he makes, the more 'rewards'. Mitterand had four mistresses. What complete BS ; I really hope you're not french (I am) and actually trolling.
The thing is, people talk about supposed (or not) mistresses of the president, sure, for fun, of course we do. Then we talk politics, in a completely unrelated talk.
The point of this is not "let's mix sex and politics", but the contrary : he's a grownup, and as long as his private life stays private, he can do what the fuck he wants to.
This is a really good "game" for a younger (starting from three), I let my son play with it. It doesn't focus on 'winning', 'baddies', killing people or whatever, it is just an introduction to music, sounds,... He LOVES it.
Of course, he likes also me playing with him to it, and making mario boucing into walls at super mario world really makes him laugh.
the one that's shared by Safari (and OmniWeb) on the desktop And Konqueror, damnit! IIRC, They wrote this code in the first place, please credit them at least here !

Hey ! This code is mine ! I'll sue, I'll sue !
in fact, the tab bar really belong to the window manager, not the apps.

Double Cisco(tm) router purchases per year.
uuuhhh, maybe some site some of us know about can be labelled as an online community and was there before 3-5 years ago ?
OK then what are the interesting technologies currently happening in large systems ?

So, are you saying they'll migrate their codebase to Whitespace ?

And, finally, it's the same specialized vs generic hardware wheel of reincarnation (see http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/W/wheel-of-reincarnation.html)
well, I guess it lowers significantly the probability of your death by cancer...

No, no, you're wrong.
Cue long line of Bender look-a-likes heading for the scrap heap saying "Bite my shiny metal ass !".
