If they actually do a recall/replacement I'll be extremely impressed.

Uh, no. He specifically mentioned that running in the browser is why JS is so widely used, even though the language itself is worse than alternatives. >The single redeeming feature…

The associative arrays in JS are simpler than objects in Java but the expressiveness means you need to be aware of all the different types of type coercion and how it all interacts…

>I didn't mean bigger in the sense that you need to know more to be able to use it Ah ok, well I can see why we have differing opinions because that's exactly what I mean :) I mean…

I'll give you generics. Statics, method visibility vs global/local/self. Interfaces, abstract classes, inner classes vs metatables. Data-structures apart from array are implemented…

Please expand your response, I don't understand what you mean when you say they are "the same thing".

I didn't see a point, just a bunch of facts and a smarmy, self-righteous turn-about comment. If I could downvote it, I would. The parent comment said "Javascript is a bad language …

Why do you think Java is bigger? From my perspective, Java has, effectively, structs (well defined groups of data) and a few primitive types, and a class system which is dead simpl…

FWIW, it didn't for me. And that's fine too. What I use dropbox for: Lazy backup system (all my important code is symlinked there, sharing small files ( What I use USB drives for: …

>Is there nothing positive the NSA/US Government can tell us about these tactics that wont compromise their mission? They probably think that they can just stay silent and the publ…

Ehhh, no. That's how dropbox works. If you delete a file it stays in the cloud for a month before it's fully deleted. You can use the web interface to do a proper delete, but the i…

The google drive already has access to the local filesystem, so that is a not a good reason to not have a local copy of the data.

Now unbalance it a bit, if the 6'2" can't hold a conversation he's going to fail. This means that holding a conversation is more important. Same thing if he's not well groomed, sam…

I never said height is worth nothing. Height is A factor, not THE factor.

Exactly. The most successful lothario in my university class was a short guy who went to the gym 5 days a week, had exceptional grooming and was extremely confident/comfortable aro…

Yes on prestige. Last I checked lawyers make an excellent living here too. University fees are less crippling because you aren't forced to make repayments unless you are earning ov…

>>Whereas someone who is, say, 6'2" will be attractive to women solely on the virtue of being tall. Lol no. As a 6'2" man with social anxiety, being tall is not some magical doorwa…

Lawyers are on the higher end of status things. In line with commerce peeps and engineers. If I was to make a ball-park guess, fewer people sue each other here, so there are fewer …

Everyone thinks they can drive without risking themselves harm though, otherwise no one would ever get in a car. Accidents happen to other people... until they don't.

Including the IP of the "mario" character?

This is a pretty awesome talk. I wish he expanded on the "array of records" thing and how he implemented it. Maybe an array of key-value pairs?

They'd just buy up another VID, the names associated with VIDs don't need to be unique.

Since a USB device gets paired with a driver through a VID/PID pair, buying a single VID allows you access to 65536 PIDs for that VID. They give out the PIDs for free but hold on t…
