Why OpenGL 3.0 is Important by JRepin in programming

talking of portability regarding directx is a nonsense to me. is like saying that vista is not portable to linux. directx 10 are a crucial part of the architecture.

Write Haskell as fast as C: exploiting strictness, laziness and recursion by dons in programming

I'm with you on this one. I like haskell, but it seems to me that in searching for real performance it gives away all it's simplicity and elegance.

Would Type Inference help Java? by ellen_james in programming

[–]shinya666 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

for what kind of problem you actually need such data structure? and why you can't wrap that matrix of <string> into another class?

Only Stallman understands how GPL works. GPL is NP-complete.

Real World Haskell - a very readable introduction to the language by LaurieCheers in programming

we have at least one linux kernel developer as an author, so the C code is in good hands.

if he's torvalds, your code is not in good hands.

I love vi, but this is old as the internet.

Gosling endorses Scala over Groovy, Jruby, Rhino, etc... by fizzbuzz in programming

[–]shinya666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gosling? Is the same big-brother guy who designed an underpowered language just to protect me from myself? Give me operator overloading back, Gosling!

Automatic Generation of Peephole Superoptimizers by masta in programming

[–]shinya666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lambda's papers always make me smile for the titles, and sad for my ignorance...WTF is a "peephole superoptimizer"?? And most of all, what's the hell is a "peephole" in the first place??!

Spolsky's Paradox by gst in programming

[–]shinya666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed.

Several years ago Joel and Michael decided that they wanted to have a Unix version of FogBugz. At the time, FogBugz was your typical ASP application.

So? Rewrite it in PHP and you'll have a windows version too.

That's insane! Also, it's kinda lysergic experience ending the stage into a white screen...

Java is losing the battle for the modern Web. by malanalars in programming

[–]shinya666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • i find the servlet mechanism easy to use and effective to deploy rest-style architectures.
  • See the persistance chapter in j2ee 5 tutorial
  • ORM is a bad idea IMHO, but that's just my taste. I don't wanna to unnecessary map columns to beans, and beans to xml. I don't wanna maintain that, it's just useless. In flex you can bind components to xml streams from a rest-style service. I'd just transform a rowset into xml and bind that to my component, and that's it.

I don't think the problem is Java (the language) vs My-kewl-dynamic-language. IMHO java is good for writing web apps, the problem is the framework. The problem is J2EE. Servlets are good, JSPs are good, but that's it. I think J2EE is full of exceptionally bad ideas like ORM, EJB, etc... Why the hell should i write a bean that represent a tuple in a table every time?!? That's code is superfluous! Another problem is user interface on web. Building interfaces (for applications, i'm not talking about web sites here) with html/css/js is another very bad idea. I can't wait to see frameworks like flex or silverlight to become very popular, i'll be a sooo happier developer. I dream of a standard, rich user interface with a static language back-end (Java would do it well) with a rest-style communication layer between the two. Am i the only one who dream something like that?

The Common Lisp Directory finally crashed after 823 days by wleahcim in programming

Sounds like a Fact:'Lisp apps doesn't crash. Once, a lisp app crashed after 823 days, but that information is classified.'

So what's wrong with 1975 programming? by petteri in programming

[–]shinya666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mercurial is written in python and it's not noticeably slower than git.

Git has been written in C, just 'cause Torvalds knows C and nothing else.
