* Do you mean exceptions as in the programming construct or hardware/software exceptions as in program halt, segment push, address push, load IDT selector, call exception handler? Unhandled exception as a programming construct means a kernel bug, unhandled hardware exceptions are always a program in kernel development and have no bearing on the language being used.
* More specifically you don't have access to sbrk() or HeapAlloc(). The first thing all kernel programmers do is implement sbrk() and malloc() so I did know that already, thanks.
* No, most kernel programmers are perfectly happy with using existing implementations of malloc(). The hard part related to memory is handling page faults and doing disk paging. The true hard part in kernel development is getting hardware companies to release their specifications so you can write drivers for it.
In summary, how did that post get moded up +4 insightful? It was completely inaccurate and retarded.
Development is a very small part of time invested in a project, you're trying to optimize the already fast part of the development cycle.
I've never heard of the term REPL before. Can you explain how this is different than a step-through debugger?
Python and Ruby? More like PHP and C#.
This is what happens when you write large procedural code programs with no Design by Contract. You spend more time rechecking old things than writing new things.
Maybe you shouldn't have hinged so much time an effort on a piece of hardware you could have easily gotten 1 week later. It's people like you that cause the problem, who do you think you are to complain about it?
If you tally up every government intervention in the internet as positive or negative, you'll see a huge skewing toward negative. What makes people think 'net neutrality', a huge misnomer, will be any different? Regulation will not make the internet more free.
Replace *alloc with a garbage collection library and forget manual memory management.
Arguing manual memory management versus garbage collection is like arguing 2^n versus 128*n
Yes in a small area and for a period of time you can manage memory collection manually, the problem comes after your application has matured and you're a year down the road(n = 11) Now it's more complex to manage from a human standpoint and often slower in terms of CPU and memory footprint to manage reference counts.
First rule of optimization, find a better algorithm.
People don't want configurability, they want something that works out of the box. That's why despite being free, people will pay 200$ for a copy of Windows. They don't want to compile things, they want it to work out of the box. They don't want to edit config files, they want it to self discover out of the box.
I see little reason to fight the global warming alarmists that exist today.
In 10 years when there is 10 more years of global mean temperature at a.99 correlation with solar output and a.2 correlation with human C02 emmisions, as it already does, it will be undeniable to all except the most extreme proponents that human CO2 emmisions don't affect climate.
Global warming has become a religion of graph endpoint bias and using computer models as empirical evidence in order to wag a finger at corporations. It's a shame people can't work on getting doctorate degrees in order to help cure AIDS or carcer, instead of becoming uneducated pundits of politicians.
"Net neutrality(laf)": Government forces uniform internet pricing -> ISPs have a few websites that most traffic goes to -> They need money to pay for operating costs -> Since they can't target the people using the most resources they need to raise everyone's access costs -> Grandma and public hotspots end up paying for Google's bandwidth, whether they're using Google or not.
Free market: ISPs have a few websites that most traffic goes to -> They need morey to pay for operating costs -> They target Google, Microsoft, Download.com, Slashdot and charge them more for their high usage -> Google, Microsoft, Download.com, and Slashdot find a way to increase payments or decrease usage -> Grandma can continue to pay 9$ a month for accessing email once every 2 days.
Net Neutrality(laf) is roughly equivalent to government forced subsidization of high-use websites. There is nothing open or free about it, it's forcing people who don't use the service to pay for it anyway.
If you program a simulation to lower the earth's temp when you put smog in the air, the program will tell you that when you put smog in the air the earth will get cooler. This is the same with global warming. When you program a computer model to raise the temp when you increase CO2, the computer program will tell you the temp will go up when you raise CO2.
We can't predict weather 5 days out with our current computer models, how could they possibly predict these other trends?
Because submitters hade AIDS when it comes to submitting patent articles. One pillar of journalism is investigating the story you report on. Either the submitter failed journalism or they are purposly omitting the fact that patent abstracts don't define what is patented, only the claims section does. Purposly slanting a story neither convinces nor reassures so I see very little reason to lie to your readers.
I'll bite that troll. I find irony in a statement, by a government, encouraging removal of a piece of software in order to promote a democratic society. Unless there is a law requiring Microsoft to be installed on certain computers, everyone is submitting a vote for the operating system they like, one system at a time. A government suggesting a brand of products to use reeks of political corruption and insider trading.
Anyone with even a basic understanding of macroeconomics would have. Build the economy in a country and they'll demand a higher standard of living. This is what economists have been saying forever why free markets are better.

Calling Moore's films documentaries is about as accurate as calling Slashdot "news". They're both opinionated editorials.

Linux users are bitches. No wonder you get no respect.
No question.
This has always been the case with verizon and it's written right in the agreement you sign.
Organic particles between nano metals? How about a Stirling engine invented 200 years ago?
