I can't tell if this is an april fools joke or not. Can I ask what the practical use case for something like this is? Regarding the curl example, wouldn't it make more sense to pull the json from a file instead of typing it in line like that. Regarding any other cases that don't include trying to shove a data trasfer object in line with a command, you are usually better of making a script file. Also why do we get so many link only github posts with 2 lines in the readme on here these days.

I've been using Inconsolata for a few years now, and it might be time to try something new. This thread has me considering Isoevka and Hack. PS: The headline here makes this sound like an april fool's joke. I expected to see a font where every letter was the text of that letter's glyph definition or something.

Cross platform interfaces like SIMD.js aren't the final word. If you actually look at the [source for `FastNoiseSIMD`](https://github.com/Auburns/FastNoiseSIMD/blob/master/FastNoiseSIMD/FastNoiseSIMD_internal.cpp), you'll notice that it's using a lot of explicit intrinsics. It actuallys seems to wind up defining its own platform-independent interface, but it's not clear whether things like SIMD.js will provide everything you need. That is, the SIMD support in Javascript is not the same as the SIMD support in C/C++ (and hopefully soon, Rust as well).

Oh, UMASK is a big one. Our developers had a provisioning process that installed Oracle, and then applied one of the patches. Before we put the UMASK setting in, there were no issues, but after the UMASK, the patch didn't work anymore because the file permissions on the patched files weren't what they needed to be on the provisioned server. They immediately started petitioning for having the default UMASK changed back, even though they knew exactly what the problem was (they showed it in the ticket they created), and all they needed to do was change the permissions on the affected files in the provisioning script. Had hours of meetings where I had to go back to security basics to explain that the UMASK settings was doing exactly what it was supposed to do. Had to fight the same fight with turning on firewalls ("Well, we don't know what ports we need!"), SELinux ("Well, we don't know how to put SELinux settings in!"), gpgcheck ("Well, we don't know how to sign our packages!"), etc., etc.

Java got popular because devs respected and trusted Sun Microsystems. Also IBM was helping. After Oracle swallowed up Sun, the good guys from Sun went to Joyent, and you know what Joyent gave us? Nodejs. Nodejs is the new JVM. You can't trust the old JVM crowd 'cos it's controlled by Oracle and Red Hat, and both are shitty shitty corps. Zero respect. Even IBM is now on the Nodejs bandwagon. Old JVM is dead dead dead.

Sure, but that prevents most businesses from doing anything that customers would pay for. And when you include data that you don't trust because it might have come from a system that is producing malformed data, you can't do *anything*. The problem in C is that it lets you execute data as code. Which is also a problem in a lot of dynamic languages, but you can at least have a precommit hook that yells at you if you use `eval`.

I love the *idea* of corrode...but writing a Haskell program to convert C to Rust just annoys me endlessly. It should have been written in Rust. This project all ready had the high bar requiring the deep understanding of Rust and C...to then add Haskell is a tragedy.

Crumple zones and air bags in cars, and collapsible guard rails in high ways, have documented, non-trivial, affects on the survivability of collisions. [In which car would you rather sit?](https://youtu.be/mJ5PcWziXT0) We need to remove the human from dangerous practices as much as possible. This means a car that won't let us drive badly, and a compiler that won't let us code badly.

Bullshit vacuous acronym that means nothing. What you probably meant to say is "GNU's design is Unix-like, but differs from Unix by being free software and containing no Unix code", which doesn't support shouting "GNU" any better, because most care about the former, not the latter, esp. those willing to shell out money for Mac and/or Windows and ask for "Linux tools".

There's a lot of Haskell/Rust crossover, and I can see why he'd have picked a more purely functional language to accomplish a source-to-source transform. Haskell can compile to C, right? I think GHC doesn't emit C as the intermediate step, but I feel like I remember other compilers might. Moral of the story, it seems Corrode is itself on the list of RIIR targets, and if we play our cards right, Corrode could Corrode itself;) I'll call the Strike Force and let them know we have new Evangelism goals;)

Yeah, it'd be really helpful to me to. We've got this embedded x86 system that we have to fixup some BIOS bugs (ie. 'hack around') in an intermediary boot loader. It'd be nice for most of that to be C since the number of people who can read x86 assembly seems to be diminishing over the years.

It makes sense as a 'proof of concept' idea, but once you have something moderately working? Switch to Rust on it! This could be a serious contender for a tool to solve a ton of problems. If we could build a basic c++ to rust version it would be even more useful (but a heck of a lot more difficult). It just burns my bacon to think of the number of programmer contributors this needed resource is failing to get because 1) a semi-useful program exists so 'do it myself' is lessened, while also 2) the few who could contribute is winnowed further because they *only* have a deep and intimate knowledge of *just* Rust and C.

Primary author here, appreciate you pointing this out. I spoke at length about this with the evaluators. The conclusion we came to was it was okay as is but it required a blurb about this being an example and would be different for organizational requirements. Regardless, I've submitted a request that this be changed. Hope that helps.

Altough to be truly complete, the point of the author is not entirely true. It IS possible to scale wordpress, I do it, with Docker+Kubernetes, with automatically reconfigurable Percona XtraDB cluster, and a Ceph storage for all the nodes to have the "same" storage backend. Sure, it's more complicated than a MEAN setup or to some microservices architecture that are natively meant to run in such things as Kubernetes, but hey, complicated and impossible are not the same word.

I've dabble in both, but I'm not a power user or expert in either. Mostly I've followed their tutorials. * Idris: Haskell-inspired syntax. Dependent types. Some basic proof tactics are provided. Emphasis on being a general purpose language and not on being a theorem prover. One research goal is answering the question, How can dependent types be used for practical programming concerns? Idris feels a lot like programming in Haskell but with better support for dependent types and nicely builtin extensions for making embedded domain-specific languages (eDSLs). In particular, there is support for extending the syntax for Idris so that your eDSL fits nicely within Idris modules. I believe Idris supports effect typing, but I haven't personally looked into it. * F*: The type theory here is quite complex compared even to Idris. Not only does it support full dependent type theory, but it also allows type refinements and has a builtin lattice for effect typing. This language feels much closer to ML than Haskell. The type checking is performed by generating typing equations by going over the input program and then asking an external satisfyability modulo theories (SMT) solver (think of it as a SAT solver that is extended with domain specific knowledge for reasoning about different things like the natural numbers) if the typing equations can be satisfied. This has both strong pros and cons. A pro is that it was relatively easy for the designers to get a powerful and expressive type system up and running with relatively few bugs. The biggest con is that sometimes the type error is simply, your function/expression/definition and its type disagree. In terms of research focus, I suspect the main thrust of F* so far has been protocol verification. That is, programs are mainly there for proving properties and there is less emphasis on running or extracting code.

The most complicated theorems have been implemented in Coq. The tooling is developed for Coq and it is a well documented system. There are about 5 books now on Coq. How many are there for Agda? In short, the most impactful results have been created via Coq. There is no need to wage war on which one is best, though, since within a decade there will be tooling which translates from all popular systems to all other systems.

> It would also be good to tell people what platforms Idris supports. I intuited from the C foreign function interface that it compiles to machine code. That's a mostly accurate inference. The FFI system in Idris is specifically designed to be user extensible and the compiler itself can be imported as a Haskell library. The compiler also knows how to find different front-ends in your path via a naming convention. People have used this to write .NET and JS backends complete with target-specific FFI.

Re-read the post you "corrected" then, and try to keep in mind more than six words of context at a time (the whole thread of conversation would be ideal, but it seems like that's asking for too much here): >There are a lot of developers who have had enough of Apple, don't want a Linux desktop but still want a system with the Linux command line and tools available. This is a post from someone who cares to have Unix-like tooling, *not* GNU's implementations in particular, because people who care about GNU don't say "the Linux command line and tools". It follows that what he clearly meant was "a Unix-like command line and tools", not "the GNU command line and tools". Ergo, your "correction" was not only pedantic, it was also wrong.

Technically the range for an 8 bit two's complement number is: -128 to 127. So, 2^-7 to 2^7 -1 because you have to account for zero. For one's complement it is the range you said in the article. But like every computer architecture uses two's complement. >But if we are very serious about our computations (when developing financial applications, for example) Don't use floating point in financial applications! Unless you want to lose lots of money :(. Go ahead and type 11 / 9 into a REPL, like what Python has. You can see the rounding errors in the right most digit. >>> 11 / 9 1.2222222222222223 Yeah don't see the point in this article, sorry OP. This is like discrete maths 101, or comp science 101.

I wonder if they intend to keep Flutter as the primary UI toolkit, or if that was just used out of convenience. If this really ends up being an Android & Chrome OS replacement, and a large portion of code being written for it also ran natively on iOS, that'd be fantastic. Maybe even cool enough to get me to use Dart ;)

Things I've heard: "Can the .net Framework run on windows 1.1?" "you can interface through the serial port? oh thank god, we can get rid of our punch card now." "you have a punchcard to ethernet adapter? oh god I love you." I want it to be clear, that last one came from a 60 year old, over weight, IT guy in a shop so loud that no one 15 feet away would be able to hear him...and he was *very* heartfelt when saying it. Not like a joke, not like he was playing, but like I seriously saved his day and made his week. It was honestly disturbing to me.

FWIW [OpenWatcom](https://github.com/open-watcom/open-watcom-v2) also supports real mode DOS (and Windows 3.1 for that matter) with IDE, debugger, online docs, etc :-) (although tbh the "IDE" is really just a vi clone with pulldown menus and windows) Also [Free Pascal](http://freepascal.org/) added 8086 support in version 3.0 (although the compiler itself needs a 32bit machine).

Totally fair. And I did that for years. For me I had to come to the realization that "in the future" is whenever you decide it's going to be. And not for nothing - I have learned a lot more since then. I think the approach you're using is really excellent for beginners; it fosters enthusiasm and really gets you moving. Plus, to be fair, about half of us do not have bosses that can tell the difference between one kind of code and another. To me the problem is that if you start with "this just has to work" then you always have an inferior product. And it costs you more time and energy over its lifespan than if you has started with "this has to work forever". It's a better way to think about doing anything - code or construction or surgery or whatever. And it makes you feel better about what you float out in the world, which should not be discounted as a serious benefit. But mostly, it sounds like you're enjoying yourself and nothing else actually matters at all.

Oracle doesn't exactly make it any better, I'm not convinced that they know how permissions work either. Like some of their instructions for patching used be be straight out of stack overflow, chmod 777 and install! Is it a rule among lazy devs or sys ops to always post the blatantly obvious problem inside the screenshot? I'm convinced they are screwing with us. Oh man the gpgcheck one in particular makes my heart palpitate, how in the world is disabling package signing entirely a good solution?! Like just one mitm on your RPM repo and you are toast.

Same here. People only used SF because it was the only game in town. The design has always been crap and filled with advertisements and useless garbage, with horrendously slow downloads. As soon as GitHub and Google Code were released, projects abandoned it en masse, much like the Digg to Reddit exodus. I don't think you can fix SourceForge. It was a download site that happened to also host the code, complete with download site-style advertising. Download sites are dead and we have better places to put our code now. It doesn't have a place in the current age beyond hosting old projects.
