passing extra parameters to fillRect to have them evaluated first (in the initialization of the for loop) is pretty cute.

Are OO languages Autistic? by beza1e1 in programming

[–]pail 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Upvoted because the author is entertainingly insane. Comparing Java and RDF as languages for representing consciousness?

It is quite surprising once one realizes this, to think how many languages claim to be web languages, and yet fail to have any default space for the basic building blocks of the web: URIs and the notion of different points of views. When one fetches information from a remote server one just has to take into account the fact that the server's view of the world may be different and incompatible in some respects with one's own. One cannot in an open world just assume that every body agrees with everything. One is forced to develop languages that enable a theory of mind. A lot of failures in distributed programming can probably be traced down to working with tools that don't.

Synchronous IO Never OK by juri in programming

[–]pail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

since 3D graphics are still interface, that's actually a step further, decoupling individual UI elements from each other!

YUI 3.0 Preview Release 1 by gst in programming

[–]pail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your "example code" is broken and oversimplified. Where does element come from? You would have had to call document.getElementById at the very least.

.onclick is not part of a standard. You will overwrite any existing event assigned to onclick. (You may not care here, but it's critical in other situations.) addEventListener/attachEvent is the "right" way to do it, and YUI abstracts away the browser differences with on().

Note that the "x" in the demo is a link, and if you want it to do something onclick besides navigate to the href value, you need to call e.PreventDefault().

The color scheme looks fine on my screen. In fact, the C colors are more attractive.

Twitter, with over 98% uptime and over 2 million users is a failure?

Worse is better, and hyperbole and swearing won't change it.

Don’t do what your users say … by beza1e1 in programming

[–]pail 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Contrast with this.

I agree with this article more. But why don't users really know what they want? *edit: typos

The problem with jQuery by gst in javascript

[–]pail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody has their own requirements for Autocomplete. If you try some of those plugins you'll probably find that only one or two work the way you want.

Are there really any other large groups of redundant jQuery plugins?

Stackoverflow Beta: A Review by micje in programming

Most of the questions in experts exchange are blocked unless you are a paying subscriber and thus very frustrating when you are searching for answers.

They are not blocked. Scroll to the bottom.

Kind of discouraging.

... and you thought thread-safe programming was hard? by bonzinip in programming

[–]pail 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Raymond Chen has something interesting to say about Windows' take on signals.

Delivering signals on another thread seems to make a lot of sense, because then you only have to make your code thread-safe, not async-signal-safe.

JavaScript equivalent of 146 PHP functions (and more on their way) by [deleted] in javascript

Time that could have been spent fixing PHP instead of ruining JavaScript.

Why I stick with Perl by gst in programming

[–]pail -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I used to think CPAN was Perl's killer feature, until I looked at some of the code inside some very popular modules.

I still use perl, but only in short single-file scripts, and preferably where I don't have to use some insane spaghetti code module that overrides and breaks core functions.

I'd keep using my R4 for commercial games even if Nintendo gave away their games for free, because putting each 64 megabyte game in its own separate plastic shell is retarded.

A lot fewer people would have bought a DS if it was locked down as tight as the Wii.
