The locks on my front door also restrict your freedom. Please feel free to try to enter a house that does not have locks on the door.

ylesaout · 4 years ago

I do not agree. It's not because my door does not have locks that you can feel free to enter. And vice-versa, it's not because there are locks on a door, that you don't have the right to try to enter...

This might cause confusion with cuesheets, which already exist and have the same extension: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_sheet_(computing)

ylesaout · 6 years ago

Or worst, it could be seen as a first attempt of takeover. What will be the next targeted extension?

Kudos to the guy for bouncing back though !!

“After losing everything, he toiled in misery for years — but he eventually made an improbable comeback. In 1997, he took out a £155k (US$203k) loan on his house, built up a health club business, and sold it for £3.9m (US$5.1m). He then used the profits to start an online jewelry company. (The Ratners Group rebranded as Signet in 1993; today, it is the largest diamond retailer in the world.)”

While he made a successful comeback (however far from his first success), saying he toiled in misery for years is a little bit exagerated. Indeed, he was still the owner of a house (and probably of other goods). And this house was big enough to have a value probably equal to a today million dollars. That's not what I call to be toiled in misery.

Javascript should really also be connected to Scheme. Sure, the "JS = Scheme" meme is not true, but Eich was certainly inspired by Scheme.

ylesaout · 6 years ago

For sure! Without Scheme influence they probably won't have been closures in JS.

If you add static types to js and create typescript you all of a sudden have something that looks a lot like c# and java ... don’t you think?

ylesaout · 6 years ago

And if you add Lambdas to Java you all of a sudden have something that looks a lot like JavaScript... Don't you think?

Can anyone justify the connection between Java and JavaScript? They seem like very different languages to me.

ylesaout · 6 years ago

Nothing if you refer to one of the other referenced graph [1]. In this graph it's a derivative of C and C++. IMHO, regarding JS, nobody can affirm from which languages it is a derivative unless Brendan Eich himself.

By the way, such a graph does not give much information about the influences that make a language evolves. It's like saying English is a fork of German and since the split neither of these languages have been influenced by others (e.g. Lambdas have been added to Java only because one of the mainteners had a new idea one morning while taking its shower)

I think you can, you have to ask "I want to tip x euros" before the waiter puts your cc in the machine. It feels really awkward and so most don't do it

ylesaout · 7 years ago

Indeed you are right, you can do it! However they need to add a line to the invoice to sell you something more (e.g. a bottle of water). And when they will report what they have sell and what they have buy there will be a difference. So for few customers it may be OK, but they can't do it every time.

I think it is much easier for a non-technical person to put up a website today than in the 90s. Today you need absolutely zero coding knowledge, not even HTML.

ylesaout · 7 years ago

Back in the 90s (at least in the second half) you didn't need how to code. You just used Dreamweaver or Frontpage and you got your site! The only technical bits were to use FTP to upload it to your free hosting provider.

I would pitch in https://lainchan.org/ and https://arisuchan.jp/ which are nice little tech image boards. They are that lovely blend of out there and slightly off kilter that I remember from the image boards of old.

With @skrebbel, you make my day! Thanks for sharing these links. They remain me the time when I discovered the web searching for TI 85 apps.
