That said I tried searching for Firefox on Hackage and it was relatively mature, v0.0.0.0.1p2 but since it only compiles with GHC 7.5 and that's still classified by the NSA I can't post about it. That's right, the NSA has got several future versions of GHC for a few months before they're allowed "out". They use the speed improvements to crack codez before the crackerz can encrypt even stronger codez with that version of GHC.

True | cheater00 | null | The fix was to ignore the problem because it's a fix to a different problem than the one everyone is talking about. The issues of "firefox is segfaulting on a null pointer" and of "parent is null when it probably shouldn't be" are separate and fixing one does not exclude fixing the other. You should put null checks in place anyways unless your application is definitely going to kill someone if that null pointer gets propagated, even if the parent is provably non-null; and conversely having a null check means you should still probably figure out what's going on. The latter is only a minor issue; the former is a much bigger issue: you have a segfault looming because someone didn't put in a null check because, as here, an implementation detail made it non-apparent. This should never be allowed. On the other hand not having it segfault but still having a bug in a function which is *anyways* (as I understand) an interface to javascript is not a big thing; javascript copes with it quite well; and besides, it's a non-crasher and a bug that doesn't corrupt data. If it were a real issue it would pop up again; spending your time fixing non-issues is such a profound loss of time you might as well spend it huffing paint. Or in other words: if a bug is worth fixing, it'll fight its way through any layer of paint you put over it until you fix it properly. I have faith in other developers and in the millions of people using FF in various situations that this inevitably would happen. | null | 0 | 1316728875 | False | 0 | c2lv64h | t3_kl5hl | null | t1_c2lv64h | t1_c2l5c1p | null | 1427634617 | 0 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | Tordek | null | > This is very common in LISP, which is a non-pure functional programming language (in which pure functions can still be defined, of course).
But I guess a bit more common is to make functions "as pure as possible", and then sprinkle mutability to optimize.
For example, one may define a `sort` function that uses recursion and lots of stack frames, and then optimize it with `nconc` and family. `sort` will be, from an outside perspective, still functional (you pass in a list, you get back a sorted list, and the parameter is unchanged); however, the innards may mangle the data structure as needed in exchange for performance (see Clojure, too). | null | 0 | 1316729437 | False | 0 | c2lv8xs | t3_kn9gt | null | t1_c2lv8xs | t1_c2lprbd | null | 1427634654 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | [deleted] | null | I suspect the transition from Silverlight to whatever browser API ends up getting offered to WinRT will be somewhat like the transition from VB6 to VB.NET. Certainly some pain will be involved, but many key concepts - such as XAML type markup will likely remain. Silverlight actually works right now - and it works very well to create fast rich-client UI, using statically typed languages (c#/f# ) that can be well directed toward corporate-intranet use. Development is a lot more akin to traditional desktop apps than other web technologies, and useful results can be achieved without large resources.
The big problem for MS that gets pushed onto developers is the absolute clusterfuck in not providing a roadmap for their future development technologies. This explains the backlash from SL adopters who are left to try and divine MS intent without any clear statement from the company. The competing divisions (os,apps,devl), suspicious avoidance of their own dev tech, and the pushing of two highly similar yet incompatable UI toolkits (WFP and Silverlight) demonstrate the mess is deeply internal and not just the result of poor marketing. | null | 0 | 1316729805 | False | 0 | c2lvan5 | t3_ko2wv | null | t1_c2lvan5 | t3_ko2wv | null | 1427634677 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

How exactly do you define a cult? A group of people with a bunch of bickering and fighting about colors, that would like others to come introduce more colors? Or a group of people that would like to market and display the colors they already have but don't mention the scratches that still need painted?

True | desertfish_ | null | This reminded me of the elegant way the Commodore Amiga's operating system solved this problem way back in the late 80's. Patching of library functions was a common task (to fix ROM bugs, or to improve system functions, or for a myriad other things). It could be easily done because of the way shared libraries were implemented in AmigaOS: they had a LVO ("library vector offset") jump table built-in. The library function calls from your code jumped into offsets in that LVO table, which in turn jumped to the actual library function address. The jmp instruction/address in the LVO table was easily changable:
it was fully OS supported by means of a special OS function "SetFunction()" to patch a new jump address into an existing library function.
During my googling (I forgot some details, hey, it's been 20 years) I found this short but insightful newgroup post that explains the workings in some more detail: [how does SetPatch work?](http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Comp/comp.sys.amiga.programmer/2005-08/msg00005.html) | null | 0 | 1316732584 | False | 0 | c2lvnls | t3_kmshh | null | t1_c2lvnls | t3_kmshh | null | 1427634846 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | ivodankolov | null | To be honest, I've avoided mucking about with enums. I think the reason for this is that the way Java handles them kind of drove me away from the idea of bringing the "OOP way" to enums. I mean, they are literally classes with a few static instances that you list on the top. Which, most of the time, is *not what I bloody intended*, since I want to duplicate values and have the ordinals mean something (bit fields, yay!). Sure, you can do it in Java enums, but adding methods and fields kind of shatters the abstraction to pieces for me.
Seeing this, though, kind of changes my perspective. Extension methods and Attributes are a lot less invasive than changing the concept altogether, and you incur no mental overhead or damage the abstraction when you're not using them. It obviously takes some thinking to set up, but you can get some nifty features out of it, like that values as IEnumerable thing.
Bare in mind though that Attributes, and by extension Reflection incur enough overhead to not warrant use for low-level code. Which kind of seems an obvious statement, but, you never know. | null | 0 | 1316733191 | False | 0 | c2lvqc6 | t3_kocub | null | t1_c2lvqc6 | t3_kocub | null | 1427634885 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | elder_george | null | I worked on codebase where enums were used pervasively. There were *tons* of extensions methods written around them (for conversion, pretty printing/localizing, domain operations etc).
Eventually they were replaced with classes with several `static` instances (imitating `enum` values) and suddenly code became much cleaner. Every object become responsible for particular task, without relying on someone else.
IMHO, enums are good when you need to convert them to integer form (for storing/transmission) or when you need to use bitwise operations (and even then chances are `set` implementation will be more convenient). In other cases they could be OK initially, but turn into mess in the long run. | null | 0 | 1316734024 | False | 0 | c2lvu3s | t3_kocub | null | t1_c2lvu3s | t1_c2lvqc6 | null | 1427634931 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
