It’s a way to provide standard configuration for your programs without one configuration interfering with another.
Honestly, almost all alternatives work better. But docker is the one you can run on any system without large changes.
All of that happens the exact opposite way when you compare Writer with Word.
And Presenter compared to Power Point has the clear answer that you shouldn’t use either.
Either way, Excel is the one good piece of software in MS Office. Has always been, and I don’t expect it to change in the future. (Except maybe if they decide to make Excel bad.) But that’s only as long as it always corrupting anything mildly complex doesn’t bother you.
I fully expect people to keep using a broken Xorg, not move into wayland, and not fork and keep it updated.
But the devs are free to do whatever they want. No opinions there. I wouldn’t want to maintain Xorg either.
Doesn’t wifi have its own retrial protocol? It’s been a long time since I’ve read the standard, but I think it’s almost lossless from the POV of TCP.
Depends on how you define “letter”, but they are definitively not alphabetical. They are ideographs.
I’d say that “alphabet” has no relation to the things on that string.
But yeah, it’s the Unicode Consortium that knows something about it, not Swift.
It peaked somewhere between 2000 and 7. Personally, I place it in XP, but opinions vary.
None of that is “Python”. You want to learn a language and automatically know everything there is to know using Math?
It would be much better if it stopped missing the version of the code you are working on and locking while starting multithreaded code.
People only discovered that multi-layer non-linear neural networks work at the 90s. It’s not really reasonable to equate perceptrons with the stuff people use today.
When you enter an apostrophe, and the site returns a 500 response stating you are trying to attack it. (And yeah, it’s always 500, not 400.)
But i still think C++ has more footguns than Prolog.
They are different kinds of footguns. The C++ ones keep security, ops, management, suppliers, customers, and the public up at night; the prolog ones keep you up at night.
Ouch.
I’ve once decided that “hey, software interaction is logic, so prolog should be the best for complex protocols and UIs!”
Quite soon I understood that no, “complex protocols and UIs” are a problem all by themselves, enabling them makes them worse, and enabling them with prolog makes them even worse.
Up to this day I’m stuck trying to make data quering more “programming-like” than the restrictive thing we have with SQL. I’ve backtracked a few times already after noticing that I just designed prolog again.
But fear not, at some point one of us will finally find that problem domain for what prolog is really suitable. I know of an entire company betting on using it for describing access control rules, maybe they are up to something!
I have been wondering that lately…
Hum… I’m not sure I wouldn’t make that same mistake.
I guess you are missing some history here. “The Great” War is not the war you’d think about by hearing that name.
In fact, the name lasted about 15 years, never to be used again.
Odds are that your computer doesn’t export any language where it will do exactly as you say (amd64 machine code certainly won’t execute exactly as written). And how much difference it makes varies from one language to another.
But the specific example from the OP, of uninitialized variables, is one of those cases where the C spec famously goes completely out of line and says your code can do whatever, run with a random value, fail, initialize it, format your hard drive, make a transaction on your bank account… whatever.
Maybe this will get better with time.
Yes, just give it a few more decades.
Indexing by zero has a huge positive impact on the correctness of complex operations like joining intervals, that nobody trusts themselves to write anyway and always pack behind a well-verified library.
But I think the reason we have it is because C maps it almost immediately into memory offsets.
