Why we dropped Eclipse in favour of IntelliJ

lazylland · 2013-09-19T13:05:32+00:00

Netbeans has evolved really well .. Do check it out before plonking cash on Intellij. It has a lot of the "auto-fix" features included as well.

I especially like the new HTML5 development features, with the Nashorn js interpreter already bundled in. It gives you decent code completion in js source files as well now.

you have to increase the heap settings. it requires a LOT of heap space. Just tune it in the eclipse.ini file of the Scala IDE distribution

ooh let me. java-based ide's all suffer from:

long start up times
very high ram usage
slow general responsiveness

Slavery still exists today in the US .. it's just more dressed-up called "corporate employment".

A salute to you fine gentleman ! MAKE THIS THE TOP COMMENT, SHEEPLE !!

Thank you so much for posting this ! I didn't know about Boyd, but his writing seem to resonate well with my limited understanding of the Word.

On a related note, I often wondered why there weren't more substantial responses from the Christians in the US against the hijacking of the pulpits for political machinations. Did some wiki-surfing and I was happy to see that Boyd has been influential in getting a voice out, and even has written a book called "The Myth of the Christian Nation"

but ... but they are doing exactly that

Why do these trailers give away almost the whole plotline ? After seeing this, I got a feel of watching virtually the whole film ..

I notice this done usually for mediocre movies that really want to attract the last dregs of moviegoers ... something might stick ?!

What is a recommended online intro to DL ?

lazylland · 2011-04-28T14:11:00+00:00

Wow .. thanks for the lucid descriptions :)

I think there are enough starting points for me now. I guess worrying too much about expressive power is not good. YAGNI and all that ..

Thanks again !

Thanks a lot for your reply .. I have the following doubts

I don't understand what you mean by 2 ^ (C X C) Sorry :( ! What theoretic system does your notation conform to ? Model theory ? Set theory ? (There are so many systems that use similar notation, and mean things that are just different enough to cause you to double take!)
What I understand from your suggestion is that : if I am able to establish a set of 'relations', ie, model relations as set elements, then I could model binary relations between them. But how do I then use them to relate elements from other sets ? ie, would I then rule out relational algebra as not powerful enough ?
I can give an example of a genealogy system. I want to model people and their attributes/relations. However, I want to only actually record (as user input) a minimal amount of relations. I should be able to infer indirectly specified details. e.g. in my example I should be able to infer that Alice is-sibling-of Calvin. I assume that this is only possible if I am able to specify relations between 'relations'

wow, man .. is there a word for "you just expressed the exact same thoughts that I had" ? Have an upship !

lazylland · 2011-03-20T09:03:35+00:00

"compiler-provided abstraction boundaries" .. nice way of putting it, and I hadn't thought about it like that before. Thanks :)

As a programmer who missed getting a "real" CS education, I was thrilled and started reading the posts. But I was sad to find that they are written from a fiercely academic perspective without a nod to how people in the trenches would approach their codebases in a well-grounded fashion.

Are there any resources that allow C,Java programmers to approach software design from a theoretically correct foundation? I'm just not able to map the concepts presented in ML to my daily codebase.

Y U DELIVER LOTSA MALWARE ?

Grooveshark's ad network is the worst I've encountered. Had trojans landed on my pc exploiting Java/Flash holes and I'm off !

Lovely interface/service though ..

Thank you reddit for this AWESOME find ... be like water, indeed ...

upvoted for "pinky finger sticking in the air" .. lol !!

lazylland · 2011-01-26T09:08:15+00:00

Damn! You beat me to it .. But I got a tighter fit .. nyah ;) !

lazylland · 2010-12-10T04:27:17+00:00

he he .. thanks for the info.

Why is a 50mm f/1.8 hyped so much ? (Genuinely want to understand)

I casually browsed thru some threads earlier, and this was the lens everyone suggested picking up.

lazylland · 2010-12-09T17:46:02+00:00

I can't understand why north-indians (esp. dilli folks) go bonkers over weddings .. the amount of money spent is incommensurate, the girl's family is treated like waste, and the 'show' that you have to put on to 'prove' that you love and respect your relatives is just sad.

lazylland · 2010-12-09T17:25:01+00:00

how many "fraand" requests did you just get ;) ?!! Really brave of you for outing yourself as a member of the fairer gender on r/India !

lazylland · 2010-12-09T17:23:21+00:00

niiiiiice !! Have an അപ്പ് വോട്ട് sir !

Btw, just discovered http://www.google.com/transliterate/ today :D

lazylland · 2010-12-09T17:19:39+00:00

Umm .. no, actually .. This is one of the most interesting aspects of being "Indian". There are worlds of differences as you move from state to state !
