*<style = "david attenborough" quality = "poor">* Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is an extraordinary example of homo sapiens linuxus internetus. You must be very carefull not to disturb him in his natural habitat because he might attack you with a [strawman argument](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man). In this example it might be laced with bitter insults and profanity that act as enhancement to his aggressive posturing. It's best to not disturb him further... *</style>*

>Quake2 was the first engine to ship with native support for hardware accelerated rendition. It demonstrated the undeniable gain through bilinear texture filtering, multitexturing increase and 24bits color blending. Don't agree that the bilinear filtering was an "undeniable gain". I deny it. I really like the Q1 article. I don't like this one as much: It doesn't cover the interesting bits, such as the actual architecture of the engine, especially the networking and game logic. It mainly deals with the rendering paths (but that's cool as well)

No I don't. I put the large plates on the bottom and the smaller ones on top of them. The ones on the bottom get used for serving and are removed often. The stack of plates in my kitchen is a better analogy for inserting an item in the middle of a linked list IMO. I suggest a better teaching aid: writing numbers on Pringles chips and pulling them in and out of a Pringles can. <joke about popping and not stopping>

How is Clojure a joke compared to a traditional language like Common Lisp or Scheme. It is way more functional than Scheme, has a macro system similar to Common Lisp, solid immutable data structures and really handy control structures that come as part of the library rather to have the reinvent the wheel.

Yeah I find the problem with understanding pointers, is really a problem with understanding memory. Honestly, I'm still not entirely sure how memory works. I mean, all I really *know* is that you get an address space, basically a giant array, and all your variables are in there somewhere. The following is roughly a guess, but it's what programming books *should begin with*! (if true): Each program gets an address space, which is like a giant array of bytes. It is as large as allowed on the architecture, i.e. 2^32 bytes on x86, 2^64 on amd64. When the program starts, the machine code (which is just bytes) is copied into a fixed (right?) point near the start (or at the start?) of the address space, and it starts to be read and executed by the CPU. At the end of the space (i.e. the bit before 0xFFFFFFFFF) is the stack, which stores scoped variables and return addresses of functions, so that "return;" goes back to where you came from. Somewhere else (I honestly have no idea), is the "heap" which is where all the dynamically allocated variables are stored. Because you don't physically have 2^64 bytes of memory, the address space is split up into segments perhaps (or 'pages'? I'm guessing here), and each segment is transparently mapped to a physical segment of memory by the MMU. Say this, draw a picture, and *then* you can easily explain pointers.

I got tom's point fine. And I disagreed with it. You just didn't get mine. Silverlight on the browser is a dying platform regardless of Microsoft's actions. Because of this, Silverlight developers have to chose between becoming irrelevant, and moving on. Microsoft gave both alternatives to Silverlight developers in the best way possible. For those that want to continue to develop on Silverlight, Microsoft is building a new version that will work on Windows classic just like 13 year old VB 6 works on Windows 7. For those that want to move on to current technology Microsoft created a new platform that is so ridiculously similar to Silverlight that any competent Silverlight developer will be able to get up and running with it in a day or two without having to dump most of his old code. The death of Silverlight on the browser was an inevitability. Everyone with an ounce of foresight knew that. And Microsoft handled the situation in the best way possible without burning anyone in the process. Every developer who used Silverlight knew that he was doomed on a sinking ship. With Metro Microsoft just gave them a brand new lifeboat that works almost exactly like the ship that they were already in.

This reply doesn't deserve a response, but I'll explain anyway. The point of Lisp, arguably, is that programs are data. This holds true in Clojure as well. The program above is composed of lists (the parentheses), vectors (the square brackets), maps (the braces), symbols (the colon-prefixed names), metadata (the carrot), numbers, and strings. If you quoted the whole thing you'd have a data structure that contained all of those various data types. One could argue that Clojure is actually taking programs-as-data further than Scheme does. Whereas a map in Scheme is either just an association list or the result of calling some primitive function provided by the implementation, Clojure gives non-list data structures the same "first class" status that Lisp only gives to lists. To say the above code is full of "random syntactic sugar" is ignorance: It doesn't just evaluate down to a bunch of lists. There is, I believe, no sugar at all in the above code. That's the AST.

I tend to agree with the author. Whenever TDD comes up, I always wonder if the proponent truly understands the implications of what they're suggesting. I work with Spring/J2EE, and if you apply the notion that Use-cases->Tests->Code, what's really being implied is an integration test framework. These types of tests are hideously sensitive and complicated to setup, requiring a lot of time, which is something rarely afforded in the real world. Thankfully I work with pragmatic people that understand TDD doesn't really work, and integration tests aren't worth the time when you have formal QA groups. The consequence of this is I get by with good code design, a mocking framework, and regular unit tests.

The M is in LAMP is because there is an easy installation approach. Building databases from source is understandable if there is a price-performance ratio that is worth it for businesses. And when I consider price, I'd like to include the cost of having two 9's of reliability and the several hours of downtime because the folks on the support forum cannot figure out what is wrong with a custom build. Besides, DBAs have more fruitful activities to work, considering what a business pays them for - a sane datamodel, tuned SQL queries, and high uptime.

I broadly agree that many of 0xABADC0DA's downvotes are unwarranted, and that many of the downvoters are simply blinded by Google-love as much as he's blinded by Google-hate. However, HTTP pipelining has been a part of the standard for over a decade and nobody uses it. This makes me think there are fundamental issues involved. Also, web developers and sysadmins need a compelling reason to have HTTPS Everywhere, and if SPDY provides the marketing kick to do that, then that's great by me. It's naive when programmers think it's enough to win on technical merits alone. Even if HTTPS Everywhere and pipelining no longer have the problems they once did, they need some inertia behind them. In a thread above, 0xABADC0DA has gotten himself into a situation where he's arguing over details of the USB standardization process, as if this will prove that design-by-committee can produce clean, fast results. I hardly think the problems of design-by-committee need to be strongly argued, and he's mostly ignored two other examples and latching onto the one where he has some leeway. So yeah, the downvotes are not *always* called for, but the guy has issues.

Well, I had thought there was a Clojure reader macro that would evaluate a form at compile time, in which case one could do without all data structure literals except for the list. In such a case, the vector, map and set literals could be classed as syntax sugar (even if, in the compiler, they're directly parsed into literals). However, either this reader macro is well hidden, or I somehow imagined it, because I cannot find any reference to it online. Without such a reader macro, they probably can't be considered sugar, because you'd need at least a literal vector to define a macro.

> Without a CS degree you are not able to write efficent and correct programs Yes, college programmers often believe this. When you get out into the real world, start actually acting like a scientist, and measure it, you find out that actually college programmers make quite a few more mistakes than self-taught programmers, typically because they're rushing to make extremely complex systems that someone somewhere once told them was The Right Way. It's usually the case that college-educated programmers haven't even begun to consider the possibility of behaving like a modern person and measuring the things they believe before reciting them as imagined fact. Really, the only other people who aren't humiliated by this revelation are practicioners of fraud, such as homeopaths and osteopaths. RAND data is publically available for tens of thousands of developers; please don't waste my time telling me about the half-dozen dudes you know and how they're sufficient reason for you to continue spouting anecdotal bullshit as fact without ever measuring. College trained developers generate significantly larger code to accomplish the same goal, and it is significantly more full of error. But enjoy believing The One True College Faith (tm). > All you get is UML crap I've only ever gotten UML from recent college graduates except when a customer required it. I've *never* *once* gotten UML from a self trained programmer. > bloaty software, OOP Oh look, he's a style zealot, what a surprise. > But with degree you're not interested in boring everday problems of a typical programmer job Yeah. That's exactly how that works out. If you have a degree, you aren't interested in jobs. > "Large swe projects" often just get large, because most people never learnt to divide their problems. This is really just a bunch of handwaving about how you imagine your tribe is superior and always produces superior results. Until you have actual data in hand, it's a bunch of religious garbage.

I don't understand how that's relevant. The end result is the same. There is the open source version and a commercial version with more features. The only reason EnterpriseDB can do this without buying the copyrights is that Postgres uses a licence which lets them do it. If the code was under the GPL the only way EnterpriseDB could add these add ons would be by purchasing the copyrights.

configure make make install What step is giving you so much trouble? Binary compatible upgrades are a matter of taking down service down and starting up a new service from a different path. You would have to configure the database but you had to do that anyway with a package install (RPM/DEB). You can copy the database files and load them into a separate instance to test to your heart's desire without impacting the production database. Binary incompatible upgrades are a whole different beast and both install methods will require you to follow an upgrade path for transforming the database files. The work will be the same. You are making this out to be WAAAY more complicated than it is. These are not insanely complicated Oracle style updates. I seriously question your ability to speak on this matter. Edit: In fact, performing custom installs will prepare you for software/hardware upgrades better than blind faith RPM installs. If you're really serious about 2 nine up times, you do it this way. You also hire an actual DBA. Throwing a programmer at this kind of work guarantees you won't have 2 nine up times.

Again I fail to see the relevance of your post. Oracle isn't trying to kill MySql open source. They have no reason to and they could not even if they wanted to. The GPL guarantees that. So far all I have gotten from your posts is that you hate Oracle and you haven't addressed my point at all. Stop bringing up irrelevant things and don't make up stuff.

> People seem to forget that you're also relying on an active and available data connection when making HTML5/JS mobile websites, if you don't have those on your device you don't have that application. Not correct. You can build offline web applications using the offline cache manifest, and the various local storage methods (iOS has had this since version 1: tap the center button in the task bar, and select "Add to Home Screen", if the page has a manifest it will be used to create an offline web application on the phone). Not saying it's perfect, there are many issues with that, but it's 100% incorrect that you *need* an active and available data connection for HTML5/JS applications.

From what I understand, since Oracle controlls both the open source and closed source development they can choke one product while feeding the other, putting all the good new features into the closed version. And to be honest that's the only logical move left after changing the project into open core model, you got to differentiate the product line up somehow. While in PostgreSQL's case the entities are separate, you can even say they compete against each other, the paid version need to work many times as hard to make a much better product people are willing to pay for. This is healthy open source vs. closed source competition, while the other is not.

Refcounting is not that great, even when it can work correctly: * Increases object sizes (and for small objects, this can be a 100% increase in size) which leads to more cache misses * Requires lots of incref/decref calls which incur even more expensive cache misses, and in many cases amount to nothing * Does not actually give nice latency guarantees (a decref can cause unbounded amounts of work, similarly to a GC collection) The one single benefit is more predictable finalization. But for that, we can use explicit finalization as in Python's "with", Haskell's "bracket" function, etc.

It not only worked for Zynga, it's worked for many other companies. Involver and Buddy Media to name two more. Look at the success of Angry Birds. It had a killer start exclusively on Apple's mobile platform, and it grew its success outside of Apple to Android, board games, plush toys, browsers, and more. Instagram also initially grew from the Apple store, and used Twitter and Facebook to help grow its own platform. It is risky to build a company that relies on another platform, but it isn't wrong. A smart entrepreneur (or team of entrepreneurs) will figure out how to scale from that one platform and onto multiple other ones in order to minimize risk. The example in this post failed because they didn't have a backup plan. Yes, they did solely rely on Facebook to get some initial headway and that ended up fucking them in the end. But they didn't have to fail at that point; if they had a good team, they'd have pivoted quickly and have had a plan to scale off of Facebook. They knew for a while that their idea was in turmoil, Sean Parker told them himself. "The hundreds of other companies that didn't make the Facebook lottery" failed, not because they were unlucky, but because they didn't build their company in a smart way, or because they didn't know how to scale it. tl;dr Nothing wrong with starting off on one platform, just be ready in case you do get fucked.

Because it's easier to understand and use. BTW, even Scala changed its self-description from 'multi-paradigm' (still on Wikipedia) to 'general purpose' (on scala-lang.org).

This is what happens when people only learn javascript and refuse to learn anything else, they use it for things it was never designed to do. An engine originally built for fancy dynamic menus and forms is now being used by "developers" writing applicationa that need 32GB memory minimum when the max is 1-1.9GB.

From my experience with JQM, styling dynamic content (actually using your own css in conjunction with JQM) is an absolute hack-riddled pain in the ass. Dynamic content is a cornerstone of AJAX-enabled web applications is it not? So it boggles my mind how something this important requires so many hacks and workarounds in JQM

PMs at Microsoft aren't actually part of the management food chain, it's a common misconception. A PM is mostly responsible for designing features and writing specs.

>Semantically correct fix for this would be to replace int with size_t in appropriate places. Unfortunately this requires serious refactoring of V8 source code So what? Do what needs to be done! >currently it consistently uses int to store sizes of various objects and changing some of this declarations to use size_t will cause to numerous "signed compared to unsigned", "signed stored to unsigned" errors. That's why you don't use unsigned integer for these variables.

A V8 engine limit like this has nothing to do with the language design. If you want to make the case that a high level language like Javascript is not suitable for general purpose/server side computing in a way that other high level languages such as Ruby or Python are not, then you will have to actually present some facts.

I think this is pretty much it. Microsoft has been burned in the past for announcing or leaking features before a final decision about that feature had actually been made, so it tends to err on the side of saying too little these days.

If you are doing server-side programming in Javascript... ...Then you have bigger problems than a 1Gb heap. Like a mental illness, or a brain tumor. You should get yourself checked out a doctor.
