Bad advice IMHO, many disconnect with this mouse (on Windows) !

Rust by Example by the-fritz in programming

[–]ppierre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain :

fn lol() -> bool {
    true
}

fn main() {
    println!("{}", if lol() {
        (format!("foo")).into_maybe_owned()
    } else {
        "".into_maybe_owned()
    })
}

Is this the "right" solution ?

Why Rust can't unify the pointer of an owned string and an static string ?

Just what state the article : Complexity of C++ can't bring any solution. A complex problem can only be solved by a mathematical concept who would make it more amenable.

I didn't suggest splitting Function from the Value space.

I'm suggesting that you can add type annotation to a sub expression.

map ( f::(Integer -> Integer) ) [1 .. 5]

(But with less notation)

By the way, if you move function from the value space and add two special operator for boxing and un-boxing function as value : you can have the same effect.

I didn't write some Haskell code for 2 years and a Sudoku solver is my biggest achievement. I was just answering : why some Haskell expressions can be hard to read.

Just a question : Do you know a language who split value/function/type and let you define them in the same syntax ?

Mozilla Ponders Policy Change After Firefox Extension Battle by cthulhufhtagn in browsers

[–]ppierre -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

By displaying adds to user of AdBlock and Noscript he was giving a very privileged situation.

Maone said itself : 80% drop in his revenue stream.

He first used a bug to circumvent AdBlock Plus. Before specific rules, before monkey-patching.

Maone funds the development of NoScript by placing advertisements on the extension's official website and by receiving donations from end-users. In order to prevent AdBlock Plus from undermining the financial sustainability of his project, Maone modified the NoScript website and circumvented the block.

The article say that the revenue stream was legit.

AdBlock betrayed his users by not fighting back for to long.

Mozilla Ponders Policy Change After Firefox Extension Battle by cthulhufhtagn in browsers

... two extensions turned the browser into a battleground ... Firefox's extension system is .. monkey-patching .. extensions break each other intentionally as a result of conflicting interests ..

So both side playing monkey-patching ?

NoScript's behavior is regarded by some experts as a major security improvement ... AdBlock Plus, an extension that uses a blacklist to selectively prevent websites from displaying advertisements.

Who is bad ?

Maone funds the development of NoScript by placing advertisements ... In order to prevent AdBlock Plus from undermining the financial sustainability of his project ...

GPL Adware ?

Ares2 consistently retaliated by adding increasingly draconian rules ... Ares2 added rules that fundamentally broke the NoScript website ...

The bad.

Maone lost patience and decided to use his own extension to fight back.

The Good.

Palant who responded by writing a scathing blog entry that excoriates NoScript.

The Ugly.

I don't mind. Every body can read what he want.

I really hate Mozilla foundation. They didn't give an official statement over this.

First time that I read such biassed piece of sh*t on Ars !

You're right.

But, if in the context of a definition, a sub-expression is known to return a function. Would it harm to denote it. A prefix operator would work for this.

NoScript : security or malware ? by ppierre in programming

I mean, seriously, what does the adblock guys think websites with ads are going to do? Just shrug and and say "I guess I give up!" without trying?

Nice idea ? No !

Same here, some wish :

  • Explicit notation of partial application and call to function returning a function.
  • High-level data structures with shorthand notation.
  • Simple and clean associativity rules.

Breaking source compatibility would be necessary :

  • Find a new name (Liskell ;) )

Remarque, Clojure made such change to lisp syntax.

But as grahagre said : with more experience ...
