I'm actually surprised that people learn about this only now... It is quite standard (and very common) thing to do in Ada. But then we can "subtype Strength is Natural range Natura…

Oh, there is runtime type checking, though usually it is optimized out at compile time: it is for subtypes (which is mostly range checks) and checks of tags for tagged types (usual…

Wake up. Quantum entanglement is at least 10000 x c, and somehow it doesn't brake causality. And information first leaves the origin and gets to you before you know that it left it…

Someone did persuade them to shelve Ada... and then they get into this mess ;) They are unlucky - there is no better alternative in writing this kind of software than Ada [well, th…

You forgot about commercialization of fusion ;) and hyperloop... and in his case we would additionally have permanent space colony, on Moon, Mars, deep space and one to be created …

There are no such forests in Poland, and Poland is much closer to Chernobyl than Germany.

In many marketplaces you have to pay for place in order to open stand yet we still call them open marketplaces (as long as price is affordable, but I would consider 100$ to be such…

In many countries (India for example) medication itself is not patentable - but means of its production are. There are many mathematical functions that have to satisfy non-trivial …

You're right. Note taken. English is pretty much compulsory in entire world. And the same can be said in Poland - almost everyone learns English in school (often for 9 years) and o…

The average student in the World encounters far more written English than average American student of any other language (in written form). And people outside of countries with Eng…

I did stop and thought about the tone. There were more comments (quite) similar to yours, so it was more at random that reply was to your comment. Usefulness? Ability to communicat…

Stop whining. Start learning. Do you think that they (Chinese) don't have similar barrier when learning English? Do I have enough opportunities to interact with Japanese? No. But I…

And what about Technocracy ? It is quite cool alternative to Democracy. Probably too radical for current politics.

It is still open marketplace.

So constructive criticism will cause downvoting...

I would prefer set of experts - I don't see how lay person could be deciding in places where even experts can have problems.

Why he was downvoted? It is quite good comment...

They can also ship on SPARC ;)

I don't have problem with debugging and testing - since I'm programming in Ada most of the things that compile are already working properly (modulo errors in logic of program, but …

Feature creep - that is what I'm guilty of.

I agree with you but I say we shouldn't depend on intuition - it too often is wrong.

There shouldn't be any patents for algorithms - algorithms are math, and math is not patentable.

I suppose you never learned about monads and monoids. But seriously: what is patentable in video codecs? Isn't it just math function? Give input in the domain of function and you g…

Especially when it happens so that you are working in Space or Defense industry...
