True | samth | null | If you use JetPack, which is an API for building extensions that's like the Chrome extension API, then you won't have those problems in Firefox either. The reason that Firefox supports addons like NoScript or Zaphod, which rework the internals of the browser is that addons aren't limited to an extension API the way that Chrome extensions are, but instead can reach into arbitrary parts of the internal implementation.

True | Brian | null | As others have mentioned, it's generally thought that it probably doesn't, but it's unproven.
To give some insight as to why people consider the possibility though, and find it interesting, there's the outcome of the [Cook-Levin theorem](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cook%E2%80%93Levin_theorem) and the notion of NP complete.
What this basicly proved is that there are certain NP problems that are essentially as hard as any other problem in NP. If you could find a quick (meaning polynomial time) solution to even **one** of these problems, then you could also do so for **every** problem in NP, thus proving P=NP.
This makes the problem seem somewhat tractable - just prove *one* of these problems is always solvable (or insoluble) in polynomial time and you're done! Actually doing so has, however, proven rather difficult. | null | 0 | 1316175494 | False | 0 | c2kahmk | t3_kgfhb | null | t1_c2kahmk | t1_c2k2ihl | null | 1427607376 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Except that this is a reverse-engineered, closed-spec algorithm. There is no such public specification - and the source code doesn't even give a hint about the algorithms that it's trying to implement.
And if a module in that style was thrown in the middle of a more general codebase, it would be in appropriate.

True | astrobe | null | It depends. I assume your point is that exhaustive tests will catch the errors anyway.
I can agree with you that this is 99% the case (the missing 1% attributed to errors in not-so-exhaustive tests). But still, the actual number of potential bugs that go undetected to production depends on the size of your test suite, which should be at least proportional to the size of the final program.

True | [deleted] | null | > The Unix API is now over 40 years old and shows no signs of going anywhere.
Totally. How many incompatible, differently structured and named, and providing different functionality ways there are to create and work with a semaphore? I count three: `semget`, `sem_init`, `sem_open`.
And it's not some new technology like touch interfaces that has to be supported. It's the goddamned IPC, and still there are two major APIs for doing it, with more nonsensical duplication inside them, plus two or three more APIs if you count pipes/named pipes/sockets, plus satellite functions that are supposed to work on files but sometimes can or have to be used with some of those objects (but not all of course).
Also, to get to the territory of really basic, unsophisticated uncomfortable questions: why can Vim detect file being modified by external programs immediately on Windows but not on any UNIX? Is it some kind of rocket surgery whose time has not come yet, in the year 2011 since the birth of our Saviour?
And don't get me started on the way the most important key in vi/vim is not actually a key as far as UNIX is concerned, with various hilarious consequences.
Nah, maybe you don't have enough experience with the more gnarly or deficient corners of UNIX, or maybe _too much_ experience and don't notice it any more, but it's hardly a good example of an API that was done right on the first try and evolved without a hitch to this day. Not to say that anything on Windows is a better example, or that I know _any_ platform that could serve as such example. | null | 0 | 1316176188 | False | 0 | c2kaj6y | t3_kgl4f | null | t1_c2kaj6y | t1_c2k9ab9 | null | 1427607389 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Technically no, haskell does not mandate completeness check to be enabled (last time I looked at it, it was disabled in ghc and you had to enable it via `-fwarn-incomplete-patterns`, which is included in `-W` and `-Wall`). I think OCaml enables this check by default.

In your 3sat example, they use broken pipe *¬x1* for negation, and because they have switched from the notation *not(x1)* they have to explain the meaning of ¬x1 having already explained the meaning of not(x1) previously.

True | MarshallBanana | null | > I'd use the very nature of octrees to combine polygons.
That means you might happen to combine *some* polygons, if they happen to fall on the right power-of-two coordinates. You might get a slight improvement, or it might actually be worse, because you'd run into visibility issues.
> For lighting, that does get a little more complicated... I'd start with a simple GLSL vertex shader for gouraud shading (phong and blinn shading would be pointless for cubes). The trickiest part is that opengl is limited to 8 light sources, so I'd have to fake it. Instead of using light sources at the vertices, I'd keep the current software-based light calculations and use the per-branch intensity as my inputs... and the fragment shader would be just the gouraud interpolation plus texturemap plus shadowmap.
Minecraft does not use simple point lights. It uses some kind of strange approximate global illumination model which is calculated per cube face, which means each individual face may have different lighting parameters. How would you handle that after you combined faces?
(Also, OpenGL is in no way limited to "eight light source". The fixed-function pipeline is, but the fixed-function pipeline is long since deprecated.) | null | 0 | 1316177935 | False | 0 | c2kanrl | t3_kgq62 | null | t1_c2kanrl | t1_c2k8gcx | null | 1427607450 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
True | vytah | null | Tart has semicolons. C has semicolons and macros, and the existence of both forces you to use crazy stuff like
#define x(a) do{ sdfsdfsfsffsf }while (0)

unless you want to have unreadable and unmaintainable code. (You as hell want to be sure that `if(b) x(a); else y(a);` works the same regardless of whether `x` is a function or a macro)
So I don't think Tart's macros will be the solution to all its problems.

True | ravenex | null | > Except that this is a reverse-engineered, closed-spec algorithm. There is no such public specification - and the source code doesn't even give a hint about the algorithms that it's trying to implement.
It's a proprietary ripoff of intra-only MPEG/MJPEG with the sole purpose of being incompatible, and maybe a _little_ faster/smaller when implemented in hardware. There are no fancy new algorithms to speak of. This implementation reuses almost all of the DCT/quant/reorder code from the ffmpeg MPEG implementation unchanged. Only the entropy decoder is written from scratch, reusing ffmpeg bit-manipulation code where possible.
> And if a module in that style was thrown in the middle of a more general codebase, it would be in appropriate.
It is. ffmpeg is huge, and it's built around a good flexible MPEG-like codec implementation. It supports shitload of proprietary video formats using basically this same code, only MPEG4-AVC and VP8 are different enough to have their own implementation of almost everything.
