True | frezik | null | > The architectural problem lies in HTTP's interaction with TCP congestion control. HTTP flows are generally pretty short (a few packets per transaction), tend to stop and start a lot, and more or less play poorly with the congestion control model. The model works really well for long flows like a FTP download - that TCP stream will automatically adapt to the available bandwidth of the network and transfer at a fairly steady rate for its duration after a little bit of acclimation time. HTTP flows are generally too short to ever acclimate properly.
People miss this point a lot when they criticize SPDY. HTTP/0.9 was badly designed for a protocol that was going to be primarily implemented over TCP. So was Gopher, for that matter. Gopher never survived long enough for anyone to start hacking around this flaw, but the HTTP Keep-Alive header and multiple server connections are exactly that sort of hack. Anonymous FTP avoids the problem, but has other complexity issues.
SPDY is a hack, too, but a sensible one given HTTP's current dominance. | null | 0 | 1316791564 | False | 0 | c2m0yr7 | t3_kp1b5 | null | t1_c2m0yr7 | t3_kp1b5 | null | 1427637355 | 21 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | diewhitegirls | null | I hate to pull this card, but we live in a much different world now. In '98, I was logging on to usenet and believed that "a/s/l?" was all the verification I needed. For starters, software programming was still in its mythical stage. Even if there was widespread distribution of coding, no one would have any idea what the hell to do with it, save a few. Today, everyone and their brother can figure out how to turn code into functioning software. I blame xkcd.
Second, we live in an instant age now. When someone of import sneezes, the world is analyzing it 5 seconds later. In the early stages of software development, there simply was not an easy line of distribution to the masses. Now, you can save it on a USB, go to a Kinko's, anonymously upload and distribute something and the world knows of it in minutes. Look at the Coke recipe...secret since the beginning, until some guy found the recipe and uploaded it a couple of years ago.
Finally, you're pointing out something relevant: IP laws are typically REactive, not PROactive. Something's wrong, how the hell do we protect it? Starting from the early 70's, the patentability of software has been a topic of debate, with landmark rulings growing in understanding of the scope of technology. And frankly, there was plenty of software protection before DMCA...that just tried to standardize the laws for this new age we live in.

True | kindall | null | The Executive Branch has broad latitude in how it enforces the law (the Constitution never states that the Executive Branch is *required* to enforce *any* law, merely that the President "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" -- the definitions of "take Care" "faithfully," and "executed" being conveniently left out) and there may also be latitude in patent law and/or related court rulings that allows the decision to be made as a matter of policy within the USPTO.
A common way of handling laws one doesn't like is to simply not allocate any funding to them. Surely the USPTO has examiners dedicated to software patents; one can simply zero that department's budget line item, or else reduce it so far that it makes getting a software patent impractical before technology has moved on. Unless there is a law or court decision *requiring* the USPTO to issue patents for software-related inventions (rather than simply *allowing* them to do so) this is perfectly legal and Contitutional.
We see this kind of behavior all the time in police departments, who, after all, have finite resources and thus cannot enforce *every* law or arrest *every* criminal, and so prioritize the law enforcement activities that they believe to be of the most benefit. When a police department decides not to enforce laws against certain activities, because they believe their resources can be better used enforcing other laws, those activities are said to be "decriminalized." Yes, it happens so often there's even a word for it. This is an executive policy decision that can blunt or even negate the impact of a law.
Far from being un-Constitutional, this is actually one of the checks and balances included in our system of government. Basically, all branches must be in agreement that a law is good, and agree upon how it should be enforced, before the law will actually have force. | null | 0 | 1316791756 | True | 0 | c2m0zn4 | t3_kosg9 | null | t1_c2m0zn4 | t1_c2m0pjj | null | 1427637360 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

The real answer is to always require an ending token, either braces, an 'end' token, 'fi', etc. That way it's unambiguous to the interpreter, unambiguous to the programmer, and if whitespace isn't preserved when copying and pasting, it's easy to have the editor fix the indentation.

True | purplestOfPlatypuses | null | I'm no industry expert, but if a company is developing products to license out, they're more of an Autodesk/Microsoft/Bioware/[insert software company here] where they actually sell the licenses to their software. At least in the US, were software patents to disappear, their products would still be protected by copyright and they would lose "barely" anything, because they don't focus on the patent. The value isn't so much in the patent portfolio they have, but in the software they make and license out.
A patent troll buys patents and has no software to make or "license"* out really in the software sense. All they can do is demand people "license" their patent so the licensee can write their own software. If the patent disappeared there would be no value left in the company, as it has nothing to sell. Patent trolls are more like expensive tolls on highways where none of the money goes to maintaining the road or whatever else toll money is supposed to be used for.

No. If I used references, I'd use them from the beginning, and so, I'd be aware that they shouldn't be modified, so I'd either make them const or not touch it inside a function.
> In C++ people always choose at design time whether a type is value or polymorphic, and using it the other way around is almost always incorrect.
Not true at all.
Take MFC, for example: its control classes are polymorphic, yet when I make a dialog I use them as values: they are embedded into the parent dialog as value-type members. This saves me infinite amount of pain, because I don't have to instantiate every control with 'new', and it's faster than if every control was allocated separately on the heap. But I can also use those classes separately allocated on the heap, if I wished, for example, when the GUI creation is dynamic.
Another example: component-based programming, relevant to video games. With C++, I can take the various component classes and mix them as I see fit, in a aggregate with fixed members as value type members. When I allocate new instances of the aggregate, all the aggregate's members are allocated together with the parent component. But some classes require components to be defined at run time (for example, entities defined dynamically), and therefore I can allocate those components as separate heap blocks, as needed in the game's course.
I cannot do the above with D, because D separates value types and reference types. I have to choose values types and be sure 100% I'd never need creation of those types dynamically, or try to be on the safe side, making everything a class and lose performance and ease of use.
Furthermore, D's structs and classes have the same concepts, but they are named and executed differently in each case: structs have blits, which are nothing more than copies, and classes have copy constructors, which, again, are nothing more than copies.
Not only that, but, in the case of structs, the programmer cannot define code that runs before the copy constructor. The programmer can only define postblit actions. This is extremely stupid, and entirely non-orthogonal to and consistent with the concept of overriding and copying.
A programming language could have the same ideas but with a much simpler design. It would have a single record type (i.e. struct or class), an optional attribute that defined how this class was to be used (by value or by reference), and copy constructors that were managed in the same way for either the value type or the reference type. The programmer would have to know less concepts and modification/adaptation of the software would be much easier.

True | FrankBattaglia | null | >there may also be latitude in patent law and/or related court rulings that allows the decision to be made as a matter of policy within the USPTO.
In fact, there is law and court rulings explicitly to the contrary. The USPTO only has what is known as procedural "rule making authority," but lacks substantive authority; they are permitted to govern the procedure for obtaining a patent, but they are proscribed from having any effect on a person's right to obtain a patent per se.
>A common way of handling laws one doesn't like is to simply not allocate any funding to them.
The President does not determine funding levels; Congress does.
>Unless there is a law or court decision requiring the USPTO to issue patents for software-related inventions (rather than simply allowing them to do so)
There is such a law (35 USC ss 101-103), and there are such court decisions (most recently, *In re Bilski*).
>We see this kind of behavior all the time in police departments, who, after all, have finite resources and thus cannot enforce every law or arrest every criminal, and so prioritize the law enforcement activities that they believe to be of the most benefit.
That works in situations involving prosecutorial discretion, but not in situations where such haphazard enforcement deprives the people of guaranteed property rights. 35 USC 102 is a "shall" statute, meaning the executive has no discretion in the matter.
>Far from being un-Constitutional, this is actually one of the checks and balances included in our system of government. Basically, all branches must be in agreement that a law is good, and agree upon how it should be enforced, before the law will actually have force.
The Executive's opportunity to question a law is at the time of signing. The Executive has no authority to retroactively veto standing legislation. Were that not the case, we would have a sea change in law every time a new President was elected. Thankfully, that is not the system the Constitution sets up.

True | rasori | null | Interesting that none of these underpinning algorithms or data structures have been patented, isn't it?
The point we're making against patents is that they're horribly implemented for software. If you really want to patent software, sure, do it, but it should last for about 2 years. That's about the maximum amount of time it will take for anyone who wants to compete with your algorithm to engineer nearly the same thing on their own, but as it stands you get another 15 years of monopoly on top of that for no apparent reason, as after that 2 year point it hits the realm of "common knowledge" and becomes one of those underpinning algorithms that is essential for so many other programs.
The reason we make the point that it hasn't happened is specifically because in a field which is advancing as rapidly as software is, *any patent system "supporting" it* ***should*** *allow for the speed of development by significantly shortening the period the patent is effective.* Imagine, using your own example, if C++ had been patented for 17 years. I see an elite few paying for licensing fees *(if licensing was even available)*, while mostly we'd have wound up with multiple other companies either continuing to use older languages *or worse, inventing their own.* The fragmentation of the industry inherently slows the progress of it. | null | 0 | 1316794434 | False | 0 | c2m1djd | t3_kosg9 | null | t1_c2m1djd | t1_c2lzxwj | null | 1427637625 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

smcj: The end result of patents is to incentivize the innovator to innovate, by offering protections for their innovation. What are you missing?
All: I have opinions. My opinions are rooted in studying the economic incentives of IP and how to shift policy to create the most beneficial outcome for society. I am admittedly shaky in the software realm, but I do have a bit of information on the subject. All in all, the whole realm of software and IPR is shaky and it's the reason debates like this exist. However, it is my OPINION, based on the end-game models that I've seen that patents are an absolutely necessary part of the IPR bundle for software. Eliminating patents leads to over-entry, higher costs (free is not free, Econ 101) and lower social utility.

True | nascent | null | > If I used references, I'd use them from the beginning, and so, I'd be aware that they shouldn't be modified, so I'd either make them const or not touch it inside a function.
Right but your problem came from not using a reference type in the beginning not, "the struct vs class dichotomy requires upfront knowledge of how a type will be used." And so is not an example of such an issue.
> A programming language could have the same ideas but with a much simpler design. It would have a single record type (i.e. struct or class), an optional attribute that defined how this class was to be used (by value or by reference)
I disagree with this. But you are also leaving out the polymorphic switch. And best I can tell your example isn't about value vs polymorphic, but value vs. reference and for that you do have struct.
Structs have a reference semantic through pointers and [ref-counting](http://www.d-programming-language.org/phobos/std_typecons.html#RefCounted). | null | 0 | 1316794931 | False | 0 | c2m1g5e | t3_kljc0 | null | t1_c2m1g5e | t1_c2m140n | null | 1427637648 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | BrianAtDTS | null | In FOSS, currency is number of users. If no one is paying attention to your branch, it might as well be dead. All these new features they are building around the core actually hurts their overall position as they will now never be able to integrate into patches from MariaDB or Percona or any other major branch because it will immediately GPL all their "enterprise" features. In other words they are cashing out their future in the FOSS database world by adopting this strategy. If they had stuck with MySQL's original strategy, they would be a much better position. It looks like they are going to "Hudson" their MySQL product by trying to squeeze profits out what has always been a FOSS product.
Seriously, why would I choose a non-FOSS solution when I can have the same FOSS solution elsewhere? | null | 0 | 1316795204 | False | 0 | c2m1hla | t3_ko20r | null | t1_c2m1hla | t1_c2lwxit | null | 1427637667 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | dmercer | null | I appreciate the reply. Did not know about q[letter] macro recording. I thought "q" was for quitting (as in ":q!").
As for the grep, I imagine there's a plugin somewhere that has what I want, I just don't know exactly how the hole Vim community works. I don't just want a search, but the ability to click on a result in the search and have it open the file and jump right to the place in the file where the match was found.
I really do appreciate your help, though. | null | 0 | 1316795280 | False | 0 | c2m1hzw | t3_k9akm | null | t1_c2m1hzw | t1_c2m02q2 | null | 1427637670 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
