I'm a fan of Rob Pike, but not of Go. Rob Pike contributed a lot of thought to editor tooling through the years, albeit not in the direction the industry seems to be going -- for example, Sam and Acme are two editors he…
PHP and JavaScript are dynamic. Here you'll be able to pass distances as feet or meters, but if you try to pass in pounds you'll get a compile time error -- can't do that in dynamic languages :)
Running bytecode instructions in hardware essentially means a hardware-based interpreter. It likely would have been the best performing interpreter for the hardware, but JIT-compilation to native code still would run…
The "better Java" niche was hot during Java's stagnation era (starting 2006 and lasting for almost a decade). The JVM was considered a great runtime, with a stagnant language, and lots of newer languages competed in…
A quick google search brought up a statistic from Pittsburgh 2008 where roughly 1/5 of perpetrators were the legal owners of the gun used in a crime. Gun crimes are so much more prevalent in the US vs practically any…
What makes you think they'd think even once?
From what little I know, in the US you can only file patents for "method and apparatus". I could be wrong but I think this is a very common restriction in patent systems around the world. Suppose they file this patent…
This makes about as much sense as "Is Putin's end game to stop global warming by forcing Europe to move to green energy?" No sense at all.
I seriously doubt that, and besides -- it is up to judges whether evidence are admitted, not public opinion.
This could be relevant for UAV's, but this system would defend against missiles that are purely ballistic -- no electronics to fry. I assume that even if you don't burn through a descending missile, merely deforming the…
