Perhaps if you're picky about how you define "massive". UO started in 1997, which was about the same time that [NWN](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neverwinter_Nights_\(AOL_game\)) was shutting down. Sure, the server cap was only 500, but I'd say that was massive in terms of multiplayer games for the time.
There's MUDs too, of course, but I think it's reasonable to claim that the MMO genre requires graphics, if only to distinguish it from a MUD. | null | 0 | 1315835143 | False | 0 | c2ja5x7 | t3_kctmn | null | t1_c2ja5x7 | t1_c2ja2ed | null | 1427589924 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | rizla7 | null | interesting. as i stated, google is trying to displace dotnet with this, if you read between the lines. obviously its not going to happen. java was unable to do it, so now they got engineers from sun who worked on java to give it another shot. the problem is that dotnet is a lot more than just a framework for webapps, it is completely cross-platform (windows, mobiles, set-top boxes, xbox, etc...) linux does not have anything like this due to the open-source and fragmented nature of development. you gotta use seperate libraries and sometimes several dif languages/techs just to accomplish a single task.
its also one of the reasons wp tried to kill off mono. because it is a threat to linux mobiles, even though linux has no alternative solution. protectionism at its best :\ | null | 0 | 1315835495 | False | 0 | c2ja749 | t3_kcwx2 | null | t1_c2ja749 | t1_c2j9z0j | null | 1427589935 | -39 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | sanity | null | As a long-time Java developer who recently started playing with JavaScript (making heavy use of JQuery), its actually not as awful as I was expecting it to be.
Sure, some of the syntax is a bit clunky, but CoffeeScript resolves most if not all of those problems.
That being said, JavaScript really doesn't deserve its position as the world's most executed language, a position it obtained through an accident of history.
So I think its a good thing that Google is trying to come up with something to fill that niche, that is designed from scratch to do so. I just hope that they are pragmatic in their decision making, by, for example, keeping the syntax close-ish to what most people are already familiar with. | null | 0 | 1315836098 | False | 0 | c2ja98z | t3_kcwx2 | null | t1_c2ja98z | t3_kcwx2 | null | 1427589962 | 4 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | mysticreddit | null | Exactly.
I don't know why some programmers have such a hard time
* from 0: relative offset from the _start_ of the array
* from 1: absolute offset _within_ the array
Programmers like to use [0], Mathematicians like to use [1], aka Radix Sort in "Introduction to Algorithms" by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, so you need to learn how to convert from one another (pardon the pun :-) )
As a programmer if you are *really* set on using from 1, just declare your dam array[ N+1 ], and reserve[0] from an error condition. You still have to use other people's code that uses [0] rel offset though...

True | QuestionMarker | null | JRuby is lucky in two ways: firstly, the reference implementation mostly sucks, so they have a low barrier to get over before their performance is acceptable. Secondly, due in no small part to the former factor, the ways that Ruby tends to be used by code in the wild *just happens* to match what the JVM is capable of most of the time.

No, it does not. Open standards mean **rough consensus and running code**.
The difference with MS is that there was no code available. If you wanted to write a Linux browser, you had no VBScript implementation you could port, and in the more-than-a-decade since, I haven't seen one that's worth calling compatible.

True | tactics | null | Is it really so hard to admit two separate power functions?
The integral power function is defined inductively as
pow x 0 = 1
pow x (n+1) = x * pow x n
The continuity bullshit doesn't crop up, because it's restricted to the domain of the natural numbers.
This definition is used all over algebra. Why is that? *Because real exponentiation isn't ever used in algebra*. Powers are just repeated multiplications in the simplest sense.
In calculus, things are trickier. Continuity is the most important requirement. It doesn't make sense to have any function with a single discontinuous point when you can simply remove that point from the domain. By keeping that non-continuous point, you have to worker harder to apply your theorems. Instead of "Pow is continuous, apply whatever theorem," you get "Let pow' be pow with the restricted domain of R\{0}. Apply pow' to your theorem."
And holy hell, look. Pow' is exactly that alternate continuous definition you should have been using in the first place. | null | 0 | 1315838453 | False | 0 | c2jai5b | t3_kbgvc | null | t1_c2jai5b | t1_c2ixts6 | null | 1427590080 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
