  1. That was an obvious sarcasm from him :-)

  2. About queuing in JS: it's not like any other language have ability to spawn a new Thread so you wouldn't have to wait until previous command will finish it's job ;-)

  5. Instructions unclear: I now have a DARPA's robot in my basement!

  6. True!

  7. "and there wasn't any way of emulating the PS3, or Xbox360 yet" - so what about RPCS3 and Xenia?

  8.  @pierrefley5000  Fair point!

  9. Hackers would always be a thing. If you know what I mean ;-)

  10. Of course you will be! Not everyone have to write compilers and drivers in C :-)

  12. It will be created and be accessible in Darknet ;-) How could I know that? Because there are a lot of people that want that to happen xD

  13. Depends on a job :-)

  14. :-)

  15. We can't ;-)

  16. After watching this video, I understand now what "it casts shadow in the Warp" means in Warhammer 40 000 universe. Thanks ))) We have 4 dimensional object. 3 dimensions representing X, Y, and Z values in 3D space. Fourth value represents "shift". In our observable Universe it will be "time".

  17. For Desktop Browsers there is Adblock Plus.

  18. "What if MS-DOS was still alive and Open Source?" Like FreeDOS, right? ;-)

  19. What adverts? - An "Adblock Plus" user

  20. Java is compiled to bytecode than JIT'ed. JavaScript is interpreted and then JIT'ed Python is just interpreted. It can be JIT'ed using PyPy.

  21. Time. That will need MUCH more that 16 ms :-)
    2
  22. It does!
    2
  23. Of course not! :-) Any program can create a few threads. If you have multithreaded CPU it will handle it faster.

  25. In some situations it is. In others - not (if you write a more smart code).

  26. "A JIT executable is not machine code, and it’s not the original script. But it’s been converted to a more optimized code that can be interpreted much faster then traditional" - That's .NET ;-) C# compiles to IL (optimized or not - how you want). Then IL would be JIT'ed at runtime and be optimized even more!

  27.  @bltzcstrnx  And why would corporations to be interested in Open Sourcing it? To give away their advantage for free?

  28.  @bltzcstrnx  100% agree that Internet is one of the biggest inventions! About AI - I think some AI would be Open Sourced, others would be not. There will be even some unrestricted ones, that could do whatever you would ask them to do (some AI on in Darkweb, doing any shady things to make money for their developers). Scary things but very "Cyberpunk" ;-)

  30. True. That's why you shall use Tails OS :-)

  31. Google also uses it and don't have those problems ;-)

  32. Random comment is... random! I see.

  34. True. But the process of JIT'ing takes a lot of resources. So JIT is more useful on older CPUs but also "warm up" time is longer.

  35. Only Apple thinks so :-) Swift is a go-to language for Apple products only.

  36. And change it for what? Socialism?

  37. Maybe in Ruby JIT compiler is just bad? So that's not the problem with language itself (most likely).

  38. True.

  39. Thanks!

  40. COBOL and Fortran are efficient too. Most likely it's so popular because of Unix.

  41. TOR uses only 3 layers by default. If you would use 200 layers - delays would be HUUUUGE! Like a minute long delays.

  42. Yep!

  43. Anyone could :-)

  46. Fun fact: humans can't drown in their own blood because they would die from a blood loss much faster than they would drown! ;-)

  47. Yep! ;-)

  48. Not JIT, but some runtime optimizations, as far as I know. PyPy is still WAY faster ;-)

  49. Agree But change to what? Socialism?

  50. In future we could transfer information faster than light :-) There is one little interesting thing - quantum entanglement. Google it.
