That is very true. Then again the US electoral system is *ahem* interesting and quite unlike any other country in the world. It is quite normal to have close first turns in Europe.
This had to be said: how Macron will perform as a president is a giant question mark. This is the first public office the guy will hold.
What makes his win refreshing is that the alternative was Marine fucking Le Pen. In that sense this campaign was reminiscent to the Clinton-Trump election, i.e., a decision between a mediocre candidate and an unfathomable one. Guess the French were wiser this time around.
I know there are newer languages like Go and Rust that don't do real OO, either, but that's rarely looked upon as a benefit of them. In fact, it's one of the biggest complaints about Go, along with its lack of generics. Go is what happens when folks who are more familiar with 1970s procedural C and Pascal try to bolt on something resembling OO. They screw up the type system, and they screw up the OO, too.
Complaints by who? There's a lot to like about Go and one the standout items is how it is not overly obsessed with OO.
You don't need to replicate anything. If an alternative appears, in time, it will just happen - the nature of the web is being constantly rewritten or abandoned altogether.
Don't buy it. If WA takes off and saner languages can be compiled to run on the web it will inevitably end up happening. Give it DOM access and wait a while.
It's the world's most popular programming language, so yeah, it's a lingua franca.
Not likely - Java and C++ would still contend that podium. It is one of the most popular languages in the world though but, again, only because there's no other choice when developing for the web.
Speaking of which, i've just tuned into the entire episode. Turns out after the Hitler comment Spicer apologized, and then came out and explained he only apologized because he didn't want to distract from Trump's attempt to destabilize the region (sic).
The guy is a walking Monty Python sketch. How the hell does he still have his job?
I suggest two things.. 1. You are making more out of this than their really is.. 2. IF you don't like the rules, you don't need to come here.. And don't give me some sob story about it being your job because what that is saying to me is you are being PAID to endure all this pain you claim, which makes it doubly shallow if you ask me.
I am not. I'm not comparing life on PRNK to the US, but the fact that getting your electronic devices searched on the border is a true concern when traveling to both. I don't honestly know how common this is, but i can tell you for a fact that it is happening right now. And it sucks.
Also, sorry but the "if you don't like the rules..." argument is utter bullshit. Of course i don't like the rules; they make no sense at all. There is no reason whatsoever for a borders officer to ask for your laptop/cellphone password - never mind the security concerns involved.
PS: Incidentally, i've been considering the option of relocating to the US for a while now. Stuff like this doesn't help.
Doesn't work that way. I travel to the US regularly for business and the current recommendation is not to carry smartphones or computers with you; i'd normally dismiss horror stories on US borders as bullshit except i have a number of coworkers who were asked for their laptop passwords by customs officers in the past few months.
It hasn't been my experience (yet), but it is incredible that we have to follow the same considerations as if we were traveling to North Korea in that regard.
C'mon now. HRC was a terrible candidate, but against Trump? She was Churchill. I honestly can't believe the later was a viable option for half the country.
Slashdot Mirror
I know. Check the GP.
I would, but it would be mildly insulting to the US population. What the fuck you guys were thinking is beyond me.
Is your entire comment satire?
I concur with his statement, as long as we're talking about Western Europe.
I currently live in Europe and been considering moving to the US for work reasons. Just decided to extend my stay here for at least another year.
That is very true. Then again the US electoral system is *ahem* interesting and quite unlike any other country in the world. It is quite normal to have close first turns in Europe.
"Islamic state"? France?
What in the name of the good fuck are you talking about?

As much as drive-by shootings are the national past time in the US.
Wait, sorry. I said something really stupid.
Yeah, i'm pretty sure those account for the 65-35 lead Macron has right now.
I guess you didn't visit Europe much?
Congratulations to the French people.

Lack of generics, on the other hand...
Well, for web frontends it is not "the most popular language". It is the only language available.
You don't need to replicate anything. If an alternative appears, in time, it will just happen - the nature of the web is being constantly rewritten or abandoned altogether.
Only if your one source is Stack Overflow. TIOBE and PYPL still have other languages ranking higher.
Again: i don't want to underplay how popular JS is nowadays. But "world's most popular programming languages" is highly debatable.

Doubt it. COBOL was used for banking enterprise applications, the type that will run and be supported for years.
The main use of JS is web sites - they're either constantly being rewritten or abandoned after a few years.
This. The only reason JS is a thing is because browsers run it natively.
I'm dying for something like WebAssembly to take over.
"Common Carrier"?!

Something doesn't compute for me with that argument. Isn't the current unemployment level ~4%?
