For example, I would be reluctant to start a startup with a woman who had small children, or was likely to have them soon.

The lesson remains unlearned and the damage is irreversible. in other news lisp was designed with an algol/fortran like syntax, but they started using s-expressions and got used to them quote:Another reason for the initial acceptance of awkwardnesses in the internal form of LISP is that we still expected to switch to writing programs as M-expressions. The project of defining M-expressions precisely and compiling them or at least translating them into S-expressions was neither finalized nor explicitly abandoned. It just receded into the indefinite future, and a new generation of programmers appeared who preferred internal notation to any FORTRAN-like or ALGOL-like notation that could be devised. lisp's head and tail are ibm assembler instructions, but they got used to them, because they could write caddadddadaadar quote:And then a few weeks later I had a user population of about a dozen, most of them friends, and I didn't want to screw up my embedded base. The rest, sadly, is history. or why makefiles have tabs programming language syntax is a series of popular accidents and we live with the qwertyuiop of code to this day

quote:It was originally intended as generated code from a user interface-building tool — similar to bytecode rendered in ASCII — but due to limitations in the tool, it became a directly programmed language in itself. this is how as/400 took off someone wrote an interface-building tool and that was the software that caught fire in the 1990s ibm being ibm, they had been trying to sell to midsize businesses like bank branches for 30 years, to little success, and they had like four incompatible processor architectures: S/32, S/34, S/36, S/38. for as/400 they decided they were going to unify all of them, so the new system had to have a superset of all prior features to pull this off, they had the best abstraction of all: TIMI. program authors had zero ability to execute assembly/machine code. TIMI was the lowest level available. to make it future proof, it used 128 bit pointers. yes. 128 bits. AS/400 had the same "problem" as bancstar, where everyone ended up writing compilers that generated TIMI, but because TIMI didn't suck, it was a victory there is some other wild stuff, like no distinction between memory and disk (store is store), and HALs to make your head spin, but that's a story for another day Notorious b.s.d. fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Sep 2, 2013 |

ibm makes architectures with really neat ideas. like system/360 introduced virtualization so they could get 1401 compat. and its just silly how resilient you can make an ibm mainframe installation then they charge a jillion dollars for everything, sell ten systems, and barely anyone learns about or uses cool ibm architectures

Shinku ABOOKEN posted:baller.... or ballmer? uh so you have stack objects which live on the stack then you have managed pointers which are just reference counted. these are local to a task and when copied are just pointer copies. then you have owned pointers. the difference is these are always deep copied if you want em and they live in the heap that all tasks can access. borrowed pointers are always shallow copy operations, and its a normal pointer that the compiler checks for certain things. if you are borrowing a managed pointer, the compiler automatically adds a sentinel managed pointer when necessary so that the memory isnt gced. thats pretty simple. if you are borrowing an owned pointer, the compiler insures that the owned pointer is not being moved or reassigned while the borrowed pointers are in scope. this last bit is important because the memory associated with an owned pointer is freed under reassignment or going out of scope. rust also allows you to attach a specific lifetime to a borrowed pointer, which is p cool
