True | kataire | null | Economic liberals are a sad joke.
In my country government regulation of the Internet is a very bad thing because we're talking about blocking websites and the federal police maintaining the block lists themselves. In the US we're talking about preventing companies from imposing restrictions on their customers that are not technologically necessary.
The usual counter-argument is that if the customers don't want to be restricted they'll just pick another provider that's less restrictive. Of course this is ridiculously naïve. If it's economically advantageous and other companies are doing it, what's to stop a company from following suit?
If the benefit of restricting your customers is greater than the benefit of not doing it (i.e. people switching over to you from their more restrictive providers), the economic decision is to restrict, not to be the odd one out.
The customer is only able to chose when they have the economic leverage to provoke the providers to offer alternatives. Freedom and the Greater Good are not part of the equation in economic decision making.
Capitalism is not evil or good. It's immoral in the purest sense: it's separate from moral concerns. Only costs and benefit matter. Good and evil only matter when they impose commercial consequences (e.g. court cases, loss of customers, etc).
ISPs should not be allowed to limit or ban arbitrary connections. Just as governments should not be allowed to limit or ban arbitrary connections. We're not talking about corporate IT. We're talking about infrastructure. That these are subject to commercial interests at all is a problem in the first place. | null | 0 | 1316989615 | False | 0 | c2mj8x8 | t3_kqzw8 | null | t1_c2mj8x8 | t1_c2micod | null | 1427646190 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | asteroidB612 | null | No. CL (the ANSI standard) occurred to _seal_ existing evolution. Evolving a paradigm/eco-system is entirely different thing than evolving a standard. My beef with what MT is attempting with Shen/KI is that it divorces Qi from it's CL heritage (and the ANSI standard which supports that heritage) in order to promote/extend the Qi "paradigm" under the guise of a "standard" which will enable the "language" to run under other languages "Virtual Machines". I have a hard time seeing how other non-CL VMs will realistically be able to support the Qi paradigm in the same manner as CL because many of the target VMs are built on non-standardized languages e.g. Python, Ruby, etc. | null | 0 | 1316990121 | False | 0 | c2mjay7 | t3_kp1pf | null | t1_c2mjay7 | t1_c2magce | null | 1427646215 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
True | mcandre | null | The API is cryptic, I'd love for someone to help me abstract the syntax.
C is very undynamic:
* Function pointers need to specify input and output types, or use `void*` for both and eventually manually cast to proper types.
* Functions can't really be declared inline (no `sort(frogs, \int (frog* a, frog* b) { return strcmp(a->name, b->name); });`).
* Can't pass constant arrays directly (no `sort({1, 2, 3});`, but `int xs[] = {1, 2, 3}; sort(xs);`).
* No artibrarily-typed tuples; must use arrays of maxsize among variable types. So `void* arr = GC_MALLOC(maxsize);`
* Even when such an array is malloc'd, can't store `void*` data at each index. (no `int i; for(i = 0; i < len; i++) { arr[i] = gs[i](); } return arr; }`).
If only C had variable-length lists, anonymous functions, and either dynamic types or type classes. qc looks the way it does because C isn't Lisp/Haskell/Node.js. | null | 0 | 1316990448 | False | 0 | c2mjcd1 | t3_kr7n9 | null | t1_c2mjcd1 | t3_kr7n9 | null | 1427646227 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | [deleted] | null | There is no additional pointer per object when RTTI is enabled, ever.
For polymorphic types, the RTTI is stored with the vtable so there's no additional cost.

True | flexd | null | I sort of went the other way by learning BASIC/Visual Basic to some degree first, then touching on C and C++, C# and finally scripting languages like Python. Went from Python to Ruby a few years ago and I still feel Ruby has advantages over Python when it comes to readability and how the language feels natural (to me anyway).
I understand peoples concern and dislike of Rails as I find it quite clunky myself, my last few web applications have been made with Sinatra at their cores. It's the growing "pressure" for interactive applications that have me looking into node.js mostly because I've heard a lot about it. To me it looks promising even if the memory limit was that low, you could just run several processes really, but I have never built anything with that many connections/users. I think it would be fun to try once.
I haven't tried Erlang but it would be cool to check it out, I like exploring new things. I don't know if I would write such a big application using node (being that I dislike Javascript syntax) but as I've said above it looks promising when you can pair node.js's features, CoffeeScripts syntax and V8's performance together and with all the nice libraries and frameworks available for node.js now you can really make some cool things.
I'm sure these things would be possible in Java and a bunch of other languages as well but one of the things I like about Ruby or Node (scripting languages in general) is that you can get on with the actual producing of features and things like that quickly without having to build up a framework of your own to a degree, if you understand what I'm saying. To do something like that in Java or C++ you would need to build a lot of what node.js or some Ruby framework already does provide.

True | flexd | null | It's not threaded.. It's a asynchronous loop using the operating system to control what does what when. It scales across multiple machines the same way anything would, a shared DB server/cluster? You can run multiple servers per physical server (i.e more app servers behind a load balancer) like you also would with any other language.
This comment from HN describes it nicely, there's a few contra-arguments below too, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1529498
You could/should take a look here http://nodejs.org/#about
I've personally never used it for anything huge as I've just recently started reading about it and trying things out but it does look promising and I'm sure all the people that have actually gone with node for bigger projects checked these things out and made a decision based on what they found, even if they knew of Erlang or not :-)
As I said in another comment in this same thread, I've never tried Erlang but I would like to see what all the fuzz is about some day. | null | 0 | 1316991849 | False | 0 | c2mji0f | t3_kq27q | null | t1_c2mji0f | t1_c2mi3p1 | null | 1427646295 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | emptyvoices | null | I learned this the hard way. Optimized the fuck out of my code, was using all caching functionality available and couldn't figure out what was slowing down my site once we started getting 1mil+ visits per day. Thought maybe it was a bandwidth issue and upgraded the connection which still didn't solve anything.
I knew PHP and SQL itself inside and out but had absolutely no clue about best practice when it came to databases. I just made tables whilly nilly without considering performance and optimization in that regard.
Unfortunately you can't really fix this sort of issue since the database is your backbone, so with all your code and queries based of its organization this would essentially require a full re-development of the site.

True | [deleted] | null | Put simply... it won't work as you might expect it to.
Here's an example of what I mean:
http://codepad.org/l7ikp3hi
Basically two class hierarchies, one with a virtual method and one without. The one without a virtual method carries no polymorphic RTTI, and so using typeid on it does not give you the 'true' type but rather the type that's resolved at compile time, no overhead required. On the other hand, the hierarchy with a virtual method will carry polymorphic RTTI (stored in the class's v-table), and so using typeid on it does yield the derived type.
It's also worth noting that dynamic_cast does not properly work on classes without at least one virtual method as well. | null | 0 | 1316992900 | True | 0 | c2mjmcs | t3_kqtat | null | t1_c2mjmcs | t1_c2mjkaz | null | 1427646376 | 4 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | 0xABADC0DA | null | Not at all. Spdy is a binary protocol, essentially an [SCTP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCTP) over TCP but including a bunch of specific hacks for sending HTTP requests through it. HTTP is a text protocol... you can write a web 'browser' in the bash shell for instance, but you can't implement a Spdy browser that way. A 'fixed' HTTP pipelining would still be a text protocol and would be nothing like Spdy, and text protocols have a lot of advantages over binary ones.
First off to be clear *there's nothing wrong with pipelining* as-is. It can be improved upon, but the improvements are not that big of a deal. Measurements of pipelining as-is show a similar speedup as Spdy -- this is why Spdy developers don't compare against pipelining in their performance charts (nobody disputes this). There are a few incompatible servers/proxies, mostly old ones that evolved from HTTP 1.0 days, but heuristics in Firefox and Opera handle this.
But there are two improvements that can be made:
1) Allow the server to reorder responses instead of returning them in the order the client requested. This way the server can return small or more important resources first, letting the browser overlap parsing them with receiving them from the network. But in practice this is just a scheduling problem... if resources do not take time to generate then the throughput is the same. While this is a benefit, it is basically the difference in time it takes to transmit the average resource vs a small resource. So this benefit (reordering) is marginal in most cases in terms of network throughput.
2) Interleave responses. This way a resource that takes 10 seconds to generate from a database won't hold up sending other resources (no gaps in transmission while generating data). This is a large benefit but only if you don't have reordering. If you have reordering then the server just sends this slow data last, and while there are some worst-cases where Spdy is a bit better than just simple reordering they are of little importance.
So how to fix HTTP? First a simple solution to get reordering, in the client header send something like:
Pipeline-Mode: reorder
Remaining-Requests: 2
This would enable the server to reorder responses and tell it how many it can expect right away (so it doesn't tend to start sending the first one right away). In the reply the server sends Source-Location with the original method and URI for the resource it's sending. This simple change makes HTTP pipelining equivalent to Spdy performance-wise. Now there are some technical problems with this approach that the Spdy backers could elaborate on (too bad nobody is seriously attempting to back Spdy here), but it shows that updating HTTP is not impossible like Spdy backers claim.
Now what if you want all the benefits of Spdy, even the more marginal ones? You need to be able to send parts of a resource as it becomes available. So you use range encoding, the server sends:
Content-Range: 0-16384/+
To indicate this response is the first 16k chunk of a larger resource and to expect more chunks later.
That's it. That's the benefit that Spdy gives, but by modifying HTTP instead. It wouldn't pass a standards committee as-is since there are a few minor technical problems with it, but nothing fundamental. There's no need for a complicated binary protocol that wraps HTTP, HTTP doesn't need to be fixed in the first place, and improving HTTP is possible. You can see this here even, in the lack of any real technical responses to the points I've raised. So the question really should be *why* isn't Google working with the IETF and W3C to improve HTTP? | null | 0 | 1317000224 | False | 0 | c2mkgxa | t3_kp1b5 | null | t1_c2mkgxa | t1_c2mevs3 | null | 1427646748 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | thechao | null | Classes without virtual tables don't need the 'runtime' in RTTI (see Kranar's [post](http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/kqtat/reflection_in_c/c2mjfgm)), so you only pay for RTTI once you're paying for virtual tables.

Runtime-evidence (class-like polymorphic) reflection isn't such a killer feature that you could add such a cost.

True | andrew-d | null | That's something I'd considered, but I don't know of a good cross-platform lock-free queue (or any other type of lock-free data structure, actually). If you know of one with a license compatible with the MIT license, let me know and I'd be happy to use it. As it is, the current implementation of concurrent_queue *should* work on Linux, Windows and OS X. | null | 0 | 1317004923 | False | 0 | c2ml0if | t3_krd8f | null | t1_c2ml0if | t1_c2mkvc5 | null | 1427647025 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
