Did you check if ports were open? Also, some routers (like my new tomato firmware when I spent several hours trying to figure why AoE2 didn't want to work despite the fact that it worked before fine) inadvertently break applications by trying to be helpful with automatic NAT translation when it's not needed in cases when applications want to connect to other computers over LAN and not over internet.

well, the trend i see is that software is reaching a point where there is just not much more for it to do. i mean, speaking about client apps mainly: how many more colors/pixels do you need? how many apps running simultaneously? how many operations per second really? i havent seen a graph, but i would have to estimate thats its peaking, and if it isn't there will come a point where it will peak, and then decline during a process of optimization. as for speed, unmanaged code will only get faster as the compilers, libraries, etc mature. yea i did interchange the term RAD there, in one instance i meant rapid.app.dev, other a high lvl lang, and libraries, frameworks. i agree there is a certain loss of performance, but you can still use unmanaged code in dotnet, marshalling com :\ hehe, but yea, point taken. but performance should get better over time. its time im counting on ;p yea i agree GUI has been an issue for ages, something else that needs to be abstracted.

I don't know what I'd think about that, but it is an interesting question/problem. On one hand, I agree that it's antisocial, assholish, behavior. On the other hand, he materially improved your code and apparently taught you something (two things, actually[1]). As a developer, I resist the urge to rewrite in practically all cases, perhaps I need to stock up on hubris, but I know the risks of making needless changes. If it's apparent that a piece of code is 1) error-prone and 2) amenable to radical simplification, then I'll rewrite it. Outside of those circumstances, it's almost always better that I spend my time elsewhere. I'll code-review a coworker's code aggressively, if need be, but ultimately it's *their responsibility* to submit good code. I may have been around longer, but every single developer on my team has the potential to create code that's every bit as good as mine. If I rewrite their code, then I stunt their growth as a person. [1] The second thing he taught you is that it feels crappy to be ill-treated in a professional setting.

Pretty much all mature languages are 'flawed'. After ten years Dart will be just as flawed as all the other languages. It's nice to make a fresh start but version two will have to stay compatible, so they will have to make some compromises. By the time they reach version 3, the design will be taken over by a committee and things will get ugly fast.

mysql 5.5 was released at the end of 2010. fwict reading the docs the basic mechanisms are the same -- you get the built in replication which is statement level or row level (or a hybrid mode that switches). you also have ndb which is synchronous clustering solution. All of them have interactions with the sql engine such that certain details are exposed to the developer -- they all affect the sql you write in some wsay. postgres replication by contrast uses log based replication which moves raw disk pages across the network -- this is very low level and fast (you already are paying for WAL, so for the master it's almost 'free'), and exposes zero implementation details to the master and very little to the slave. This is very robust and it's impossible to knock the slave out of sync at the sql level. The locking engine on the slave is tightly integrated so that MVCC semantics are completely supported (certain queries can block replication replay up to a configurable timeout) -- the whole solution is well engineered. It still has some rough edges -- for example it could be easier than it is to transfer slaves to a promoted master, but those are getting smoothed out rapidly.

> My only point was that the email spec is a lot more nuanced and complex than most people think, Oh, I know. Technically it can't even be parsed with plain regular expressions, you need a full blown parser. I do understand that. And I know how bad *bad email validation* can be. I hate the ones that insist I can't have a + in it, or that choke on unrecognized TLDs. For that matter, just 6 weeks ago the boss asked me to add validation on a small webapp. I flat out refused. I found links explaining how it was essentially impossible, and that anything I came up with would eventually disallow a real email address and piss off some potential customer. He eventually found some pre-written class for me to use (when it breaks, we can just blame it on the class especially since we pointed out how email validation was impossible). But this is a personal thing of mine, and one I don't recommend people put into use. Still trying to improve it, and if I can find an explanation of Facebook's out-of-spec addresses, I may include those. I can always just add another regex to the constraint, though more than 2 or 3 probably isn't a good idea. I was just trying to get a little more right what so many have gotten wrong before.

I'm sorry, but I don't think this is how it works. This was not quoting somebody, even though the sentence may even be word-for-word. I'm just offering a piece of information (an opinion). Quoting is not a way to preserve copyright, it's enhancing that information/opinion by appealing to an external authority. I chose to back that opinion myself, without any external help.

> There is some promise of being able to tie work items to source control checkins and then to releases, but I have, and mark this, never ever seen an example of this. As far as I can tell, integration is an empty marketing promise. We do this and it's actually pretty painless. You go to the Pending Checkins window, make sure the files you want to check in are, huh, checked. Then use the vertical toolbar on the left to go to the work item and select the one that your checkin will resolve (or you can just "associate" this checkin with it), and then just check in your changes. Afterwards, go to your bug or task and look at the "All Links" tab. You'll see the changeset you just applied to the repository. There's your traceability.

English is ambiguous. Maybe you aren't intending to insult. Are you missing the point? Beginner Student Language's purpose is to be a simple (and less powerful) language than Racket; reducing the power of the language allows the language to be able to tailor error messages. If it seems toyish... well, that's its purpose. BSL itself is simple to program because it's designed with restrictions. But the technology that's used to implement Beginner Student Language is not simple or trivial. The same technology is wielded to implement Typed Racket, and there's a comprehensive paper that talks about how that system works: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/scheme/pubs/pldi11-thacff.pdf I'd recommend taking a look at it; there are some really nice ideas there.

There are poor language choices in CoffeeScript that result from it currently being implemented by translation to JavaScript. For example, the use of both "of" and "in", the existence not only of null, but of both undefined and null. Interesting type coercions etc.

The idea is that a real wolf is going to sneak up and eat a piggy, not "huff and puff and blow his house down". The first two piggy's houses looked like ordinary things, so they "solved the problem" of not attracting the wolf's attention.

I once had a similar result involving feeding the determiniser not with an NFA, but a non-deterministic *infinite* state automaton (using Haskell, that was quite trivial, due to laziness[1]): You'd get awesome runtimes even with some context-sensitive grammars, but utter exponential blowup with every other grammar, both in time and space. Wrapping up, I'd say that it's the equivalent of loop unrolling/inlining in parser generators: A little in strategic places helps a lot, blindly applying it grinds you to a halt. It's not usable to transcend complexity borders, but *very* useful to optimise less-complex runs embedded in an otherwise more complex grammar. [1] It was actually so easy that while adding features I happened to produce infinite automata, and only noticed what I had actually done an hour later or so.

As it happens, I'm a Haskell coder (and I know how the list monad works/have implemented it); I just didn't know that CoffeeScript did in fact parse the syntax with the compositions on one line (i.e. that the syntaxes were identical!), resulting in not only a lack of composability, but breaking some backwards compatibility to get it there. Standing corrected!

Whoa. MDN says Firefox 2 added JS 1.7, and FF2 was released years ago, but I have never seen any of these features used in any website code or article or tutorial or book I have read, nor in jslint. Wikipedia article does not seem to have up-to-date reporting on whether Chrome supports JS 1.7, and claims Chrome does not and IE only caught up with IE9. Interesting that FF was so far ahead in supporting JS features no one else implemented. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript

Not criticising, I just find it really funny that you list "synchronous replication" and "format function" side by side as big new features... The latter is something that someone familiar with the codebase could probably do in a weekend, the former solves one of the fundamentally hard problems of database system design! \<analogy>Highlights of the new 2011 Ford Foobar include: * Perpetual motion engine * Improved passenger legroom * ... \</analogy> :)

The people in charge of the SWGemu project are not very nice people. A few years ago they asked for web developers to implement a web template that would connect to the server database (so you could see stats, gear, etc online.) They wanted us to write only PHP and we were not allowed to use any code that wasn't written from the ground up. The person in charge of the web development project was also one of the lead C++ programmers for the game server, so he never had any time to direct anything anyway. I believe they've started and ditched this project twice now, maybe more. The game server has undergone similar stresses, like when they decided to scrap MySQL for BerkleyDB. The change may have been a speed boost, or needed. I'm not sure, but it was a very hectic change that took far longer to complete than first projected. And yes, the project is in two parts "Core" and "Server" (I'm not sure of the server name now) and no one is allowed to see the "Core" source. **tl;dr this project is a mess**

> it is a very different language than C++ Compared to Lisp, APL, Ruby, Haskell, Prolog or Bash it is not. Note that these are all real world languages that are/were used widely in the industry. Java differs from C++ only in the lack of some features (like memory unsafe programming and less powerful template system), but programming thought flow is fundamentally similar and is built on the class-based OOP model.

Haven't looked in detail, but I think the transformation is safe because it only ever changes a query that would have been invalid (and thus produced an error message) into a valid query. It never changes the semantics of a query that already worked, so it won't mysteriously break any existing queries.

It's actually faster than Javascript for an increasing number of tasks (e.g. batch of images). Javascript is basically turning into the equivalent of language machine for the web. It's impossible for humans to keep track of all the API's while optimizing for all possible browsers, so Javascript is getting generated more and more. And when you go down that path, humans don't stand a chance against compilers that improve on a continuous basis.

It's a little more nuanced than that. /r/programming used to be a default subreddit, so back in the day there were a lot of people reading it and submitting to it who didn't actually know jack shit about programming. So there were a lot of completely off topic posts, and there were a lot of people complaining about this (you may remember this, as your account is 5 years old). I've never heard his explanation of it, but I believe the sidebar was ketralnis' way of trying to bring the subreddit back to it's earliest state, when reddit was frequented mostly by tech savvy individuals who knew the difference between programming and tech support (or rage comics if we go by today's standard). The current state of the subreddit, at least the way I understand it, is that there is a segment of the population that doesn't care (or doesn't know) about off-topic posts, and there is a segment that is vehemently against off-topic posts. This is part of the reason you currently sit at 301 points for this post, but 6 people have reported it. >I used to like this subreddit. Would you be willing to provide some elaboration on this point? What about the subreddit do you think has changed that makes you not like it anymore? What changes do you think would make this subreddit better, not just for yourself, but for the community as a whole?

Hardware met Software on the road to Changtse. Software said: ``You are Yin and I am Yang. If we travel together we will become famous and earn vast sums of money.'' And so the set forth together, thinking to conquer the world. Presently they met Firmware, who was dressed in tattered rags and hobbled along propped on a thorny stick. Firmware said to them: ``The Tao lies beyond Yin and Yang. It is silent and still as a pool of water. It does not seek fame, therefore nobody knows its presence. It does not seek fortune, for it is complete within itself. It exists beyond space and time.'' Software and Hardware, ashamed, returned to their homes.

The house of straw wasn't perfect but it followed the standard around (and thus did not caught his attention). The house of sticks was not elegant, but it was a practical and brutal solution that worked. The house of bricks was the "best" solution, but it would take a long time to get it done. And as such it was the worse solution to the real world constraints...

Gah, sorry, I meant JDK, not JRE. That's what I get for being on reddit at 4:00 in the morning :P Edit: HotSpot is indeed GPL, but there are a whole bunch of more liberally licenced [JVM implementations](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Java_Virtual_Machine).

If they plan to cross-compile "in a similar manner" as Google Traceur, then the compiler will be [client side javascript](http://code.google.com/p/traceur-compiler/wiki/GettingStarted).

Well, I'm still quite serious. People *love* to bitch that /r/coding doesn't have any posts and that /r/programming has too many "wrong" posts. While I'm grateful you haven't banned me yet, I'm still not entirely convinced that the bitching is actually achieving anything useful.

No they convey the wrong of idea of OO to those people, who then write code that the rest of us have to waste time fixing. And I understand that you're talking about people who are utterly new, but so am I. Bad habits die hard. I'm convinced the correct way to teach inheritance is to first teach composition, and only once that has been mastered introduce inheritance. Which means you'll introduce delegating before overriding, which is a more natural way to learn things anyway. (e.g. "Okay now that we now how to delegate Car's calls to Engine, it turns out there's an easier way to do it.")

> But that comic could also apply to architects and ad agencies, so it doesn't really fit here. I don't see how posting it in e.g. /r/comicsforproblemsolvers is a better solution than posting it here and crossposting to subreddits for the other demographics.

Not true exactly. In the first case, x is the inner loop variable and y the outer loop variable whereas in the second case it's the other way around.
