True | yeswecould | null | 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. | null | 0 | 1315881651 | False | 0 | c2jgcj6 | t3_kdi3i | null | t1_c2jgcj6 | t1_c2je8ei | null | 1427592834 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | rizla7 | null | 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. | null | 0 | 1315881853 | False | 0 | c2jgdjr | t3_kcwx2 | null | t1_c2jgdjr | t1_c2jfx5w | null | 1427592856 | -1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
True | nullsucks | null | 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. | null | 0 | 1315881870 | True | 0 | c2jgdmr | t3_kczbt | null | t1_c2jgdmr | t1_c2jeq9b | null | 1427592857 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | merlinm | null | 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. | null | 0 | 1315882199 | False | 0 | c2jgf6x | t3_kd0x9 | null | t1_c2jgf6x | t1_c2jfath | null | 1427592878 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | NoMoreNicksLeft | null | > 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. | null | 0 | 1315883368 | False | 0 | c2jgl31 | t3_kd0x9 | null | t1_c2jgl31 | t1_c2jgb1w | null | 1427592945 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

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

True | barsoap | null | 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.

True | jeremyhappens | null | 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.)

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.

Javascript is basically turning into the equivalent of language machine for the web.

True | a_redditor | null | 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.
