I know you're publicly directly messaging, but as an outsider to the discussion, I don't see any actual mention in your posts why D isn't included. Just that it "used to be."
There are many of benchmark projects that include D and don't appear to be struggling under any kind of massive burden. For example:
What are your actual reasons for not keeping D... "scala... and Clojure and ..."? The results in the previous link show D as a massive competitor (sometimes 1st place beating C and C++) on both memory and speed. Wouldn't the purpose of benchmarks be... to highlight useful, highly-scoring languages? Isn't that one of the primary reasons people read benchmarks?
(The D implementations are also often smaller in lines of code, as per this benchmark project:
>There are also many trivial tasks where you think "Of course there is an established ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for this", and end up proven wrong. I mostly did find one library for the thing I needed, but often immature. The HTTP server + DB game seems especially poor.
That's my situation with D. It's a beautiful language but you have to rely on bindings for everything, and many times, people start a project... and never maintain it. So you'll find a great lib... and then realize it hasn't been updated since 2012 and wonder whether you should risk adding a possibly bug-ridden (and unsupported) project to your project.
>When you singup for Facebook, you agree that anything you post might be shared with others on the platform.
Except you CAN'T sign away your rights in many jurisdictions, including this thing called HIPAA. So if Facebook sold people's mentions of health problems to third-parties... is that a violation?
I mean, this is the exact scenario people grilled Windows 10's spyware. But somehow, Facebook doing it, isn't an issue? What's the difference? I'm honestly asking.
HOSTS files are static. They were never designed for blocking ads or tracking. And for all we know, every connection does a linear search through the HOSTS file so the larger it gets, the more wasted time, because it was never designed to have millions of entries.
Kind of like how that one NPM package took down like 14,000 other packages when someone took a DMCA request against an author's OTHER package and he just took them all down in protest--which took down their dependencies and their dependencies and ... "broke the world".
>Has anyone created a service that you auth in through GitHub and it backs up all your repos to S3 or Dropbox or something? I'd pay a few bucks for something like that.
So you'd pay money for a tool that copies your data, but not simply pay the money to access said data?
My wife and I have an iOS and Android phone, and an Alexa home thingy.
- Android definitely reads our voice better. Alexa is a close second. iOS has to be helped in loud or non-ideal situations.
- iPhone maps/GPS are way worse too.
Often times I'll just hand my wife my phone in the car because Apple maps is taking forever or, giving INSANE directions that take us through tons of backroads to save .12839083 minutes on our drive when the highway is a clear direction that any human (or good AI) would have recommended.
As for the Alexa, we use it every day and it works great. "Alexa set alarm for 5." "AM or PM?" "AM." Boom. Done.
And I'm NO Android zealot. I have tons of problems with it. The app store seems to be way less damaging to your phone for iOS. Like, the first result for any phone problems for Android is "delete some apps." Ugh, the entire point of having a smart phone is apps. So if "removing all your apps" is the solution to the only advantage of having a smart phone, then your entire phone architecture is insane. That'd be like saying "Hey, my car keeps stalling." "Well, it only stalls when you drive, so don't drive it then." "Okay."
My problem (years ago) was that with Lattice, there just aren't as many tutorials/easy-EDA and they kind of expect you to know what you're doing.
So if you've never taken a class on FPGA's and learned how netlists work, et al, Lattice may be a harder time. I ended up buying a cheap Altera afterward just to learn.
>How to Raise a Boy is a weeklong series centered around this urgent question in the era of Parkland, President Trump, and #MeToo.
HAHAHA.
Why is this here? Citing #MeToo implies that somehow, after #MeToo, you're supposed to do something different in raising your boys. As-if teaching your boys to respect women is some magical new idea, or, that telling your boys to walk around with collective guilt for crimes they haven't committed, is somehow going to set them up for a better for life.
>Parkland
Gun shootings are down. Meanwhile, traffic accidents kill scores every year. Why are there no #RespectRedLights movements?
>President Trump
Yeah, sure sucks when the people who actually bother to vote, win an election. Imagine if conservatives "don't get their way" next election (which will likely go Blue, right?), and then they resort to the tactics the left has? Like burning down neighborhoods [1] and blacklisting speakers [2], dumping bottles of water on disabled veterans in wheelchairs, [3] and threatening to lock people in a church and burn it down. [4] You better pray to whatever deity you believe in that right-wingers are more respectful of the next election, or it's gonna be a straight-up bloodbath.
Before then, it was just naked fat virgin neckbeards sitting in basements hitting a hammer against a rock.
No software of any significance has ever been written before 2014.
