That's not a very fair or accurate description. JavaScript implementations use a JIT which is different than what people usually mean by interpreted. Types can be inferred without explicit type declarations. JavaScript has Array and integer semantics can also be inferred.

You posted a garbage book by a non scientist well known conservative climate denier. You are a crackpot and I don't have any more time for this.

False. That is "skeptic" nonsense. Note the quotes around skeptic because I don't consider climate denialists true skeptics.

"Climategate" was reviewed extensively by numerous organizations and no wrongdoing was found. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climatic_Research_Unit_email_c...

Creationism is nonsense and has no place in a scientific discussion because it's not a falsifiable scientific theory. Thanks for derailing this discussion.

Well, the headline says "intact".

It doesn't sound like he supports forfeiture in general. According to the article "And Justice Clarence Thomas (the lone dissenter in the Nelson decision) recently slammed civil forfeiture for its “egregious and well-chronicled abuses.”"

That's not technically true (JSON is a subset of JavaScript) due to some extra characters allowed in JSON http://timelessrepo.com/json-isnt-a-javascript-subset.

I'm just trying to relate OP's comment to changes in the conference or even claims about a market effect. It seems like wishful thinking.

According to articles on Forbes and Extremetech, Intel currently has 99% of the server market. This is a new product that may affect Intel, but it hasn't done anything yet. So far this is just speculation then.

AMD has had cheaper/slower processors for many years. Is something different about Ryzen?

Useless or not, I personally prefer left to right flow.

Why not? I wouldn't choose to develop against SaaS that I knew was going to shut down in 5 years. Parse also said they'd keep running after the buyout.

Yes, it's one of those classic discussions that is never conclusive.

People would fix the low hanging fruit and leave the hard/hairy parts that need work the most.

It's one company of many. Samsung, Sony, Oppo, Huawei, BLU, and Xiaomi also manufactured glass back phones.

Why are you perpetuating this? Ritchie died five years ago and some people recently accidentally tweeted out this old information. http://gizmodo.com/legendary-programmer-dies-for-the-second-...

I think Apple's big win was in mindshare and getting the education market, maybe being more professional and establishing vendor relationships. You didn't see Altairs. I only knew about them from magazines. When I was in early gradeschool, all computers were Apple IIs as far as I knew.

It had an RS232 port that could be connected to a serial terminal with a keyboard. This is an emulator, but you get the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxcFNOpnIIs

Sure looks a lot like any other early personal computer. Having a "video display port" seems like an arbitrary distinction.

Also if you want to talk about ubiquity, the TRS-80 which released a bit later in 77 than the Apple II massively outsold it.

The Altair was very much like a modern PC in that it used a de facto standard S-100 bus and other standard peripheral connections, and was based on the Intel 8080 CPU which evolved into the 8086 used in PCs. It had the first commercial software. It was mass produced. It was able to run CP/M which has much more in common with DOS than Apple DOS.

The Apple II was more proprietary in nature and the line died out after the Apple III failed. Intel x86 based PCs are still made today. Edit - sorry, forgot about the IIGS.

You guys are really lowering the discussion level here with your insults and innuendo and meta commentary.

I agree. I was just kidding GP.

I've never seen one in person though unlike Apple IIs, TRS-80s, TI-99/4As, etc.

So discussing earlier personal computers is equivalent to the absurdity of inflatable sheep. Brilliant commentary.

Did you mean to say the 1950 Simon?

YAML including the entirety of JSON is not a positive argument in favor of YAML.

Those things aren't a goal or desired feature of most JSON use. There's a reason people hated SOAP. XML is better suited for documents. For everything else, XML doesn't work very well.
