Here's the thing: Japan keeps whaling, because whalers are popular. Whalers are popular because they are standing up to outside pressure, and standing up to bullies, and nobody likes a bully. Sea Shepherd are bullies, and they keep whaling in the news, building more and more support for whaling in Japan.
It doesn't matter one bit what people outside of Japan think about whaling, because they have no say in whether or not whaling in Japan should continue or not. The only people whose opinion matters is that of Japanese politicians, and Japanese voters. And whaling would likely be forgotten and dying out if Sea Shepherd didn't keep it in the news, and keep building support for it.
Currently I am bogged down with projects, and Cocotron does already support native exceptions on Windows, so I am pretty much set. I'd like to move to GNUstep so I could build on Windows itself, but that's obviously low priority.
Don't bother, it will just make your head hurt. The short version is, an angry internet guy wanted to cash in on the bitcoin boom so he created his own version by making random arbitrary changes and tilting the whole thing in his own favor, and got some people fooled into following him. Then there was drama, and hacking, and a re-launch, and more drama and hacking, and lots and lots of angry internet people yelling at each other.
It is not something sane people should subject themselves to.
Regular wallets can not be stolen with a computer program. Stealing money from a bank account is possible for a program, but there are ways to recover it after the fact, unlike with bitcoin.
Well, I kind of have a pretty large codebase full of @try and I am not about to rewrite it, so as long as they are not supported GNUstep is useless to me.
Well, it was a year or so since I last tried GNUstep on Windows, but back then it didn't even support native exceptions, and I got the impression after asking around that nobody was in the least interested in doing anything about it. Hopefully that has changed since.
Anyway, ideally I don't want to build anything, I want something to install and get going. It's not like I can't get it built if I really need to, but if I have to keep building things myself, any increase in convenience is going to evaporate pretty quickly. (And I'd really like to have something I can tell other people to install, too, when they need a compiler.)
And if there's one thing I've learned after all these years, it's that the bigger the project, the less I want to try and build it, because something will break.
(I'd also like to build Objective-C on Windows, but that is probably a taller order. Getting GNUstep to play nice with it might take some doing, I suspect, especially since GNUstep on Windows seems to be pretty neglected.)
I'd really like to set up a stand-alone clang for building Windows C applications, but apparently there are no binaries of 3.0, and all the instructions assume you want to build on mingw and then install it in the mingw environment.
Do you have any pointers to how to go about ditching mingw entirely?
It sure would be nice if someone would take the time to package it up for standalone use on Windows...
Oh god is that true? If there is one thing I want in this world, it's to ditch Mingw once and for all.
It used to be a good and simple C compiler for Windows. It was actually "minimalist". Now it's trying to replace cygwin, and it spews DLLs everywhere, and it can not even be normally downloaded with a reasonable amount of effort, you have to use their custom downloader.
Google's relationship to Mozilla is basically, "We like what you're doing, but we think we can do better". They have no reason to want Firefox gone, at least not as long as it uses them as the default search engine.

That's not true. An air conditioner is a heat pump, it moves heat from one place to the other, doesn't create it.
It does both, by necessity.
No, politicians support the whaling program because it makes them look good to their voters, who support the whalers.
You really want whaling to continue that much?

Miners create the blockchain, without which there is no bitcoin.

Miners dont make the network;
Actually, it is the miners that literally make the network.

I didn't mean Win64 exceptions, I meant Objective-C exceptions like @try/@catch, on any version of Windows.

Even for a function of a handful of lines, it is much more readable if variables are declared where they are used.
Maybe it isn't.

Declaring variables at the beginning of their scope makes the code more readable and easier to debug.
Not even a little! It does the absolute exact opposite!
Why on earth would it make code more readable to declare a variable away from the place where it is actually used? That makes no sense whatsoever.

Well, you heard wrong.

You are not supposed to implement Dart now, it is nowhere near finished.

Chrome is proprietary, dart, NACL, SPDY, and special javascript extensions,
All of these things are entirely open and unencumbered, and free for use by anyone.
Yes, it's just so hard to find someone who hates Sony on Slashdot!
