Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is an extraordinary example of homo sapiens linuxus internetus.

In this example it might be laced with bitter insults and profanity that act as enhancement to his aggressive posturing. It's best to not disturb him further...

True | Timmmmbob | null | Yeah I find the problem with understanding pointers, is really a problem with understanding memory.
Honestly, I'm still not entirely sure how memory works. I mean, all I really *know* is that you get an address space, basically a giant array, and all your variables are in there somewhere. The following is roughly a guess, but it's what programming books *should begin with*! (if true):
Each program gets an address space, which is like a giant array of bytes. It is as large as allowed on the architecture, i.e. 2^32 bytes on x86, 2^64 on amd64.
When the program starts, the machine code (which is just bytes) is copied into a fixed (right?) point near the start (or at the start?) of the address space, and it starts to be read and executed by the CPU.
At the end of the space (i.e. the bit before 0xFFFFFFFFF) is the stack, which stores scoped variables and return addresses of functions, so that "return;" goes back to where you came from.
Somewhere else (I honestly have no idea), is the "heap" which is where all the dynamically allocated variables are stored.
Because you don't physically have 2^64 bytes of memory, the address space is split up into segments perhaps (or 'pages'? I'm guessing here), and each segment is transparently mapped to a physical segment of memory by the MMU.
Say this, draw a picture, and *then* you can easily explain pointers. | null | 0 | 1316865695 | False | 0 | c2m8jkn | t3_kogj4 | null | t1_c2m8jkn | t1_c2lytp2 | null | 1427640990 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Silverlight on the browser is a dying platform regardless of Microsoft's actions. Because of this, Silverlight developers have to chose between becoming irrelevant, and moving on. Microsoft gave both alternatives to Silverlight developers in the best way possible. For those that want to continue to develop on Silverlight, Microsoft is building a new version that will work on Windows classic just like 13 year old VB 6 works on Windows 7. For those that want to move on to current technology Microsoft created a new platform that is so ridiculously similar to Silverlight that any competent Silverlight developer will be able to get up and running with it in a day or two without having to dump most of his old code.
The death of Silverlight on the browser was an inevitability. Everyone with an ounce of foresight knew that. And Microsoft handled the situation in the best way possible without burning anyone in the process. Every developer who used Silverlight knew that he was doomed on a sinking ship. With Metro Microsoft just gave them a brand new lifeboat that works almost exactly like the ship that they were already in. | null | 0 | 1316867265 | False | 0 | c2m8lsu | t3_ko2wv | null | t1_c2m8lsu | t1_c2m5yn2 | null | 1427641020 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | [deleted] | null | This reply doesn't deserve a response, but I'll explain anyway.
The point of Lisp, arguably, is that programs are data. This holds true in Clojure as well. The program above is composed of lists (the parentheses), vectors (the square brackets), maps (the braces), symbols (the colon-prefixed names), metadata (the carrot), numbers, and strings. If you quoted the whole thing you'd have a data structure that contained all of those various data types.
One could argue that Clojure is actually taking programs-as-data further than Scheme does. Whereas a map in Scheme is either just an association list or the result of calling some primitive function provided by the implementation, Clojure gives non-list data structures the same "first class" status that Lisp only gives to lists.
To say the above code is full of "random syntactic sugar" is ignorance: It doesn't just evaluate down to a bunch of lists. There is, I believe, no sugar at all in the above code. That's the AST. | null | 0 | 1316867417 | False | 0 | c2m8m1s | t3_kpk8d | null | t1_c2m8m1s | t1_c2m84li | null | 1427641025 | 23 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | [deleted] | null | I tend to agree with the author. Whenever TDD comes up, I always wonder if the proponent truly understands the implications of what they're suggesting. I work with Spring/J2EE, and if you apply the notion that Use-cases->Tests->Code, what's really being implied is an integration test framework. These types of tests are hideously sensitive and complicated to setup, requiring a lot of time, which is something rarely afforded in the real world.
Thankfully I work with pragmatic people that understand TDD doesn't really work, and integration tests aren't worth the time when you have formal QA groups.

True | frezik | null | I broadly agree that many of 0xABADC0DA's downvotes are unwarranted, and that many of the downvoters are simply blinded by Google-love as much as he's blinded by Google-hate.
However, HTTP pipelining has been a part of the standard for over a decade and nobody uses it. This makes me think there are fundamental issues involved. Also, web developers and sysadmins need a compelling reason to have HTTPS Everywhere, and if SPDY provides the marketing kick to do that, then that's great by me.
It's naive when programmers think it's enough to win on technical merits alone. Even if HTTPS Everywhere and pipelining no longer have the problems they once did, they need some inertia behind them.
In a thread above, 0xABADC0DA has gotten himself into a situation where he's arguing over details of the USB standardization process, as if this will prove that design-by-committee can produce clean, fast results. I hardly think the problems of design-by-committee need to be strongly argued, and he's mostly ignored two other examples and latching onto the one where he has some leeway.

True | weavejester | null | Well, I had thought there was a Clojure reader macro that would evaluate a form at compile time, in which case one could do without all data structure literals except for the list. In such a case, the vector, map and set literals could be classed as syntax sugar (even if, in the compiler, they're directly parsed into literals).
However, either this reader macro is well hidden, or I somehow imagined it, because I cannot find any reference to it online. Without such a reader macro, they probably can't be considered sugar, because you'd need at least a literal vector to define a macro. | null | 0 | 1316871109 | False | 0 | c2m8sqc | t3_kpk8d | null | t1_c2m8sqc | t1_c2m8mko | null | 1427641110 | 5 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Yes, college programmers often believe this. When you get out into the real world, start actually acting like a scientist, and measure it, you find out that actually college programmers make quite a few more mistakes than self-taught programmers, typically because they're rushing to make extremely complex systems that someone somewhere once told them was The Right Way.
It's usually the case that college-educated programmers haven't even begun to consider the possibility of behaving like a modern person and measuring the things they believe before reciting them as imagined fact.
Really, the only other people who aren't humiliated by this revelation are practicioners of fraud, such as homeopaths and osteopaths.
RAND data is publically available for tens of thousands of developers; please don't waste my time telling me about the half-dozen dudes you know and how they're sufficient reason for you to continue spouting anecdotal bullshit as fact without ever measuring. College trained developers generate significantly larger code to accomplish the same goal, and it is significantly more full of error.
But enjoy believing The One True College Faith (tm).

What step is giving you so much trouble? Binary compatible upgrades are a matter of taking down service down and starting up a new service from a different path. You would have to configure the database but you had to do that anyway with a package install (RPM/DEB).
You can copy the database files and load them into a separate instance to test to your heart's desire without impacting the production database.
Binary incompatible upgrades are a whole different beast and both install methods will require you to follow an upgrade path for transforming the database files. The work will be the same.
You are making this out to be WAAAY more complicated than it is. These are not insanely complicated Oracle style updates. I seriously question your ability to speak on this matter.
Edit: In fact, performing custom installs will prepare you for software/hardware upgrades better than blind faith RPM installs. If you're really serious about 2 nine up times, you do it this way. You also hire an actual DBA.

Again I fail to see the relevance of your post.
Oracle isn't trying to kill MySql open source. They have no reason to and they could not even if they wanted to. The GPL guarantees that.

True | thebrodels | null | It not only worked for Zynga, it's worked for many other companies. Involver and Buddy Media to name two more. Look at the success of Angry Birds. It had a killer start exclusively on Apple's mobile platform, and it grew its success outside of Apple to Android, board games, plush toys, browsers, and more. Instagram also initially grew from the Apple store, and used Twitter and Facebook to help grow its own platform.
It is risky to build a company that relies on another platform, but it isn't wrong. A smart entrepreneur (or team of entrepreneurs) will figure out how to scale from that one platform and onto multiple other ones in order to minimize risk.
The example in this post failed because they didn't have a backup plan. Yes, they did solely rely on Facebook to get some initial headway and that ended up fucking them in the end. But they didn't have to fail at that point; if they had a good team, they'd have pivoted quickly and have had a plan to scale off of Facebook. They knew for a while that their idea was in turmoil, Sean Parker told them himself.
"The hundreds of other companies that didn't make the Facebook lottery" failed, not because they were unlucky, but because they didn't build their company in a smart way, or because they didn't know how to scale it.
