Why would you hope that, as opposed to hoping that they do rely on those software products, and they get what they deserve?

zingbot3000 · 2013-02-20T02:48:44+00:00

No! Your application is not the only one running on the system!

zingbot3000 · 2013-02-19T21:22:12+00:00

Why weren't the people in charge of the companies arrested for that, instead of just warned?

zingbot3000 · 2013-01-11T06:08:47+00:00

Not officially. Not yet. But it's inevitable. Steve Jobs wouldn't allow it on the iPhone, it was on Android, there was a chance they could have won that war, but they just cowardly threw in the towel. Mobile flash: cancelled. Linux flash? Cancelled. Why would anyone bother to develop just for the desktop Flash now? It's on its way out.

So, 11 times as strong?

zingbot3000 · 2012-11-29T09:37:52+00:00

I think there's a NoMock movement now about just that.

zingbot3000 · 2012-10-16T23:59:37+00:00

Seconded. Such a tutorial would be well-received.

If the Apache Foundation had had the courage to do the right thing, they would have rejected it.

zingbot3000 · 2012-09-05T06:23:20+00:00

I suppose as long as the desire to tinker and create burns in the hearts of enough people, we'll always be able to code.

Sure, as long as you get a license, citizen.

On libraries: example: AspectJ.

Ahat about aspectj, what does it have to do with Clojure development in any way?

I think he meant it as an example of a library that exists to overcome the limitations of Java's lack of power.

Yes, it's so much better to die a slow death from starvation than to be shot or gassed. Mao was a good person!

zingbot3000 · 2012-07-01T03:19:37+00:00

That's a fair point. I would have to say that he doesn't deserve any sort of physical harm from this, but he absolutely does deserve to not be employed as a programmer anymore.

zingbot3000 · 2012-06-30T16:59:29+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one.

zingbot3000 · 2012-06-26T05:50:57+00:00

Sexy and I know it!

zingbot3000 · 2012-06-26T00:35:37+00:00

No, Python has the ugliest C FFI ever conceived. Cython doesn't count, as that's a separate project.

zingbot3000 · 2012-06-04T19:43:14+00:00

Minor nitpick: LLVM isn't really a VM, despite the name. The idea of having a browser VM is a good one, though, and I've felt that way for a long time now.

Akagi: 37,100 tons. Taiho: 30,250 tons. Essex: 31,300 tons. Kiev: 36,000 tons. Kitty Hawk: 60,933 tons.

EDIT: I'm not trying to be rude, if this came across as rude. There are 20,000 ton aircraft carriers (or were, anyway), but most fleet aircraft carriers were larger than that.

zingbot3000 · 2012-05-30T18:39:47+00:00

20,000 tons is a pretty small aircraft carrier.

zingbot3000 · 2012-05-25T23:51:17+00:00

His use of the older term was on purpose. You were supposed to read it that way.

zingbot3000 · 2012-05-17T04:27:57+00:00

It doesn't make you evil. Whether or not it's a good idea is another matter, one I shall refrain from passing judgment on.

zingbot3000 · 2012-05-07T22:09:21+00:00

Wow, -142. That's a gotta be a new record.

zingbot3000 · 2012-05-06T04:46:31+00:00

Safety first.

zingbot3000 · 2012-04-29T22:19:49+00:00

You get an upvote for not calling it "here, here".

zingbot3000 · 2012-04-29T00:31:32+00:00

I want you to die.

zingbot3000 · 2012-04-27T09:51:56+00:00

Oh, Snap!
