Dropshipper is a self-governing business which can be run by one person alone. Dropshipping is the procedure which helps the retailer to reduce the burdens of having so many stocks in hand. The stocks in hand will control the liquidity of the business finance. There is no need of any warehouse to store the goods and reduces the unnecessary expenses.

It's the same as 12 years ago: just GNUStep and things in the GNUStep halo like Étoilé. Sony started a project to put GNUStep on mobile (SNAP) a few years ago and promptly dropped it.

Erlang disallows shared memory in favour of per-process gc. Whether or not this is a good tradeoff in general is debatable but it is what makes the gc acceptable in soft-realtime environments. Go makes a different set of tradeoffs (shared mutable memory, whole process gc, no hot code reloading) which place it in a different niche to erlang.

RIM said it shipped 11.1 million BlackBerry smartphones and more than 500,000 PlayBook tablets last quarter.

I absolutely refuse to believe those numbers. I've seen noone with a Blackberry tablet and I'm surrounded by geeks at home and at work.

Spotting Android-tablets is hard enough (I have one and besides that I know one other guy IRL which does as well), but Playbooks are practically non-existent.

Kelihos botnet is alive and spreading via Facebook
I think Facebook has thought this stuff out quite well: When people use real names on their service, it's easier for family, friends, and college acquaintances from thirty years ago to find them, thus increasing user engagement with the site. It also gives them an easy excuse to delete troll accounts. Furthermore, having people's real names (and often address etc.) makes them a more attractive target for advertisers. Most of the Facebook biographers seem to agree that the real-name policy was one of the factors that helped it win out over MySpace and other social networks. (Among many, many others, of course.)

In light of how much money this policy is presumably making them, and considering that they have about a billion customers who seem to accept the policy as is, I strongly suspect they don't care in the least that the occasional person with an unusual name falls through the cracks, or that they're screwing over people who need to remain anonymous for legitimate safety reasons.

Do I agree with their decision? Not at all. But I think they know exactly what they're doing.
Why? Have they completely cracked the problem of forecasting on Earth then?
> Are you confusing concurrency with parallelism?

No.

> Wrong. Concurrency is not some accidental bolt-on in Erlang

You might want to read my comment correctly and avoid injecting things which are not in it. I did not say concurrency was "bolted on", I said it was not a primary goal of Erlang's design, it was merely one of the tool deployed to reach the over-arching goal of reliability.

> I was replying to the parent saying that GC is utterly incompatible with a systems language.

Can't say I've ever seen Erlang called a systems language. But in any case Erlang's design and VM structure does make it suitable for soft real-time (per-process shared-nothing[0] heaps independently GC'd with configurable initial heaps, allowing such things as never GC'ing a process at all). Go still's no Erlang.

The rise of the destructive programmer
The syntax could be made much better by focusing on usability and readability. It seems unimportant at first, but I know people get turned off functional languages because of this, and people go so far as to maintain alternate syntaxes and toolchains for Erlang, OCaml, JavaScript. Take a page from one of the “executable pseudocode” languages and their very clean syntaxes.
That's a great technical analysis, but I think it misses the primary business reason why Conde went with images for most magazine apps - it's cheaper and faster for them to create content during each 4-week release cycle.

What kind of thing do you mean? I was (to my utter dismay) a Java developer for more than 10 years. Most of the time I worked on business internal projects or J2ME. Seems to me that for internal projects, the businesses could have chosen anything?

Of course there was the hype, the hope to find more developers, the idea that there should be only one language in the company and so on. (All wrong, imo...)

Maybe all those factors could be combined into a single one, "popularity" :-)
No parametric polymorphism, which means plenty of casts, runtime checks, and annotations. This sacrifices performance, compile-time guarantees, and programmer productivity for a simpler and slightly faster compiler.

Another datapoint for my theory for how Slashdot worked: the usual mob made enough actual experts mad enough to comment and other annoyed clueful people moderated those comments up.

From what I have seen, Apple succeeds in part because they have a corporate culture that fosters good OO and good software architecture. Most companies through the early 2000's didn't have enough BS filtering capability to accomplish this. (Only the top 10% to 25% of shops had that, I would guess.)

Add to that technical capability, the actual ability to market and an understanding of UX/design, and you start to understand how they can execute so well.
I know that I strongly wish I could do iOS development that way, but I suspect it is not really practical yet :-(

Yeah, being so new to these technologies, I wasn't sure what to call things. No, I don't want to write a web server. I don't want to code a complete CMS that serves up dynamic pages.

I just want to auto generate static HTML pages from a selection of page templates and a file of text. I want to be able to add links to my navigation menus and have my solution iterate through all the pages and change things accordingly. I don't want to have to copy/paste my text from my writing software, into my editor and enclose it in tags and do all that menial stuff. That's the stuff that I want to automate. I just have to learn how to parse...

Russell said that Google engineers are also developing a proposal for the next version of JavaScript to add class concept. Class is a core element of object-oriented programming language, it is the basis of data and code reuse. JavaScript does not support class, the programmer can only use function calls to complete some of the features which is a waste of time to write the code that is not conducive to reuse.

Other than not having a 'Class' keyword in javascript, this is mostly a useless statement. The beauty of javascript lies in the balance between object and functional style. The prototypical model with first class functions is what makes javascript so powerful. I don't see the need to change it, and if you get into a situation where you need easy access to object oriented style, coffeescript is a fine choice.
They probably aren't doing anything special with gravity - they're just applying a central 1/r^2 force to anything that touches the sensor region (the atmosphere, in this case). One of the Box2d testbed demos has a similar example, it's very simple to do.

The frictional force is also pretty simple, likely just Box2d's linearDamping term, which very loosely models drag and exponentially slows down objects. Box2d uses symplectic Euler integration, which tends to be pretty good about conserving energy; it definitely wouldn't cause that much deflection from a stable orbit if the force was central.

Is something I wrote about it several years ago.
A quote from the OP: "Russell said that Google engineers are also developing a proposal for the next version of JavaScript to add class concept. Class is a core element of object-oriented programming language, it is the basis of data and code reuse. JavaScript does not support class, the programmer can only use function calls to complete some of the features which is a waste of time to write the code that is not conducive to reuse."

I wonder if this portion of the Proposal is based on a thoughtful critique of javascript. Javascript's object-oriented paradigm, prototypal OOP, gives JS dynamic, class-free objects, and some would say that's a good thing--perhaps a great thing. In addition, the Prototypal paradigm was developed much later than Class-based OOP--nearly two decades later, and the developers of the former certainly knew of the latter, and learned from it. Given that, i wonder if this part of the Proposal isn't recommending retrograde techniques rather than improvements.

After all the discussions about javascript here and anywhere javascript is mentioned you must realise by now that a lot of people disagree with you.

I'm not even going to go into why, it's been said a million times. Let's just agree that you've got an opinion that's not particularly compelling or common to a lot of experienced programmers.

Wallace: who?

Poot: The man who invented these. (Holds up McNuggets)

Wallace: Shiit, he richer than a motherfucker.

D: Why...? Did he get a percentage?

Wallace: uh...why not?

D: Nigga, please. The man who invented them things - just some sad ass down at the basement of Mcdonald's, thinking up some shit to make some money for the real players.

Poot: Naw, man that ain't right.

D: Fuck "right," it ain't about "right," it's about money.

Now you think Ronald Mcdonald gonna go down to that basement and say "hey Mister Nugget, you the bomb! We sellin chicken faster than you can tear the bone out, so i'ma write my clowney-ass name on this fat ass cheque for you!" ...Shit.

The costs of threads vs processes are identical if you're prepared to put some stuff in virtual memory (except on Windows, and I don't know if that has improved). Processes default to full isolation, threads are the reverse, but Rust has enough compile-time guarantees that it can do its own isolation for most purposes. I imagine they could go back and forth on this one without breaking source compatibility.
My favorite jab here is that thousands of IT managers, after some multi-day infomercial paid by IBM, Sun, BEA or Oracle, decided they'd buy something that limited their developers to Java.

But really, Java is a fine language, not much worse than C++, and, as far as static typing goes, fairly OK. What bothers me most is the insane proliferation of bloated frameworks and tools that Java seems to generate around itself. In order to use several popular tools, you need Eclipse. It's not a bad IDE, but needing an IDE for even basic stuff like building a web app clearly is a symptom of something that went very wrong. Some wrong decisions are really hard to undo.
