> Verbosity is so much worst than syntax complexity because you ends up having dozens of different patterns that do the same thing overall but with subtile differences on edge cases.

So vague.

> As long as you introduce syntax to help with what people are actually doing (and not juste because it looks cool) syntax addition enhance the code readability.

So you are saying Rust's syntax is doing just right. But this has nothing to do with other language design. Just open your mind.

Agree. Just need more enhancement of security, accessibility (for the disabled), and user privacy, yeah by open-sourceing it.

There is a special char to disable colorful emoji but seems no way to deal with the font issue.

An authorization protocol like OAuth. By means of e-mail, people can contact the service provider too. Similar tools include mobile phones, accounts on Facebook/Google/Twitter/etc. but many will also require us to provide an e-mail address for password recovery.

Something like Mail2Tor@onion?

Yeah, would be great if it is easy to implement an e-mail client (without bloat). The current situation is depressing.

Who is working on a replacement of e-mail for both messaging and registration of thirdparty accounts? Open-source SDKs?

Even on rMBP, but feel very bad for the WiFi, Thunderbolt, and the screen resolution. Damn proprietary hardware. How do you solve these problems?

After some experience with Factor (a very interesting concatenative language with great C FFI support), I think Red is the next exciting language for me to try. Just waiting for the I/O module. :)

TOML don't even have a clear and definitive standard/test suits. It seems unmaintained but some people are trying to push it to 1.0 no matter what.

voaie — Wed, 17 Aug 2016 20:46:04 +0000

This is the second time I see this project, and I've already seen some other similar projects, but readability is still a problem.

Anyway, the source code is tiny and educational. :)

> whereas free software is primarily about protecting the freedom of people.

That's why people often misunderstand the redefined/restricted freedom of GPL. I don't even want to associate GNU with "free software". Just replace "have the freedom to ..." for "have the right to ...", this way the philosophy of GPL would sound better to my ears.

New comment by voaie in "China issues edict to ban ad blockers"

voaie — Fri, 22 Jul 2016 17:44:41 +0000

Just look at this rule:

> 第十六条互联网广告活动中不得有下列行为：

>　　（一）提供或者利用应用程序、硬件等对他人正当经营的广告采取拦截、过滤、覆盖、快进等限制措施；

16.1 Provide or use any computer program, hardware, and etc. to block/filter/replace/skip/... legal ads.

However there is no rule about the punishment about the violation of this rule.

Well, did I ever say some ISPs shamelessly plug their ads to people's webpages for years?

New comment by voaie in "Languages: Why we must save dying tongues (2014)"

voaie — Mon, 04 Jul 2016 03:34:09 +0000

Agree. Culture is what makes the language more beautiful. When a small town turns into a big city, the language will gradually lose its power if everyone goes for profit without the culture carried forward.

Also, like what @gkya said, if the government aggressively enforce an official language on the people, other languages will die more quickly.
