Yeah, if I recall correctly, AnimalPrototype needs to be a "constructor function" if you want to use new. From what I can understand (and someone people correct me if I'm wrong), if you wanted to initialize values with something like an Animal constructor, then it **appears** that you'd define your Animal function and...

I don't think there has been a recent mozilla announcement about type inference. It has just landed into the development tree, so only people running Nightly will get it. I imagine once it gets to Beta (12 weeks) there will be some sort of official mention.

Ruby does, actually, have an [unicode_utils](https://rubygems.org/gems/unicode_utils) library, which solves most issues related to Unicode. I don't think it support string sorting for different languages, but as long as you only have one language it's quite easy to write it yourself.

A course on fonts would be about glyphs and encodings. The encoding part would be about ASCII and its bit-structure (which is very interesting and clever, as every bit in one ASCII-byte has a very clever semantic meaning), about extensions to ASCII including the latin-x encodings, and KOI-8 (which is also very clever)...

The article is good, but it omits mention of [normalization](http://unicode.org/faq/normalization.html). For example, in unicode there are two ways of representing è (lower-case e-grave).

It's not intellectually satisfying but in my opinion it's a reasonable approach if (and only if) the ways in which the hardware can be biased are fully known.

I've tried Ragel, but it's only useful for building simple parsers. In case I recall correctly, it was the tool I used for handling Hayes AT commands. But I think it would be really unnatural to write, say, TCP state machine in Ragel.

This is why: A state machine is really a dispatcher that changes the code path according to a well-defined enumeration of possible values. I've entered into function F that will enter into code path X, Y, or Z, depending on the value of S, which could be x, y, or z. So, the answer is most developers use the built in be...

FSM's are really useful to define business process flows and pageflows with a BPM language (like the BPEL standard). This is but one real world use case, you can find many more. Actually, UML has the "State diagram" which in itself is kinda like a state machine. I won't even go into the obvious use cases (AI, etc...).

The problem is that you cannot deduce the culture (and expectations) from the language reliably.

Agreed. The example I wanted to post in this thread was a parser that I wrote for a GPS protocol (SiRF binary) for the Arduino.

My interpretation of this was that you would take two n-bit values, multiply them and use n bits from the result (perhaps use the lowest n bits?). If you want to use all 2n bits then you're actually removing information, even if you disallow for 0 in the inputs, because most composite numbers can factor down multiple ...
