It's animated (and there are 3 on that page totalling 35MB). Some systems unfold each frame into its own image and store that. Please open firefox to that page, leave it open for a…

Your damn animated gif has sucked up >4.7GB in my browser and crashed it. Not impressed. Did animation actually add anything significant anyway.

I'm doing a project perhaps relevant to this. Talk of declarative schemas (or what you imply they offer) is very interesting and I'd like to know more but I can't find anything rel…

Parsing (use of rather than theory) matters as it affects my work. So I followed up. See https://youtu.be/Jes3bD6P0To Tree sitter is based on LR parsing (see 23:30 in above video) …

You're ignoring the ; which are sync points. > How can you be sure that that } is the end of a certain defined block If it's not in a string, what else is it but a typo? If a typo,…

Yours is the toxic comment. Appeal to authority is fine if the authority is an authority and WB has proven his. Suggestions of intention to flatter and accusations of hero worship …

Does that issue go away if you use packrat vs some other means?

Can you give an example (or three) where that lets us down? That would be very helpful to me I suspect.

Text -> parser -> AST -> job done. If it's any different in an IDE vs anything else I'd like to know how.

I have some idea what I'm talking about, see my post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25210523 and I don't kniow about why using a packrat over anything else. I pull something …

MDMA works on what's there, it doesn't conjure up what was clearly not there in you at the time.

You acknowledge javascript has all the serious downsides of flash, then denigrate us who disable it for the very reasons you've given?

Why?

> easy to tell if a type can have cycles or not at compile-time, you just need to check if it refers to itself Certainly useful at times as I suppose it may be used to ensure you d…

I purposefully used the word 'efficient' in my original post. Of course you can find cycles many ways, but floyd's (or similar) are not acceptably fast and never can be in general …

Would you consider full graph scan efficient? Would you like a full graph scan after every allocation, millions of times a second? I don't understand why you said that.

Fair question, was unclear. Cycle detection at point of creation (when a pointer is set). You can do a full scan of data structure graph after every malloc but that's equivalent to…

Fast web pages unquestionably exist. This just spends a lot of text (and 2 pointless images, as noted by the top comment in that article) to pretend they don't. Now there's a reaso…

Pretty sure no efficent run-time algo for general cycle detection exists. It has (AFAIK) been a big area in garbage collection for a long while, so smart people have been all over …

I've used MS Word over very many years and I'm happy to say that it is a far better product now than it ever was in terms of reliability and doing what it's supposed to do. I'd eve…
