Developer's Corner / Re: What's your Programming Language?
« Last post by Tuxman on October 26, 2009, 02:48 PM »For me, a real programming language is something you'll get an executable file from. Thus, Java is none either.

Ahem. Delphi certainly does have a framework -- that's what BCL is. I think what you mean is that Delphi doesn't have any kind of virtual machine or abstraction layer in which it runs.Ah, yes. Sorry, phrasing FAIL.-CWuestefeld (October 26, 2009, 12:39 PM)
it's worthwhile noting that it was designed by the lead designer of C#, Anders Hejlsberg.So what's wrong with that guy now?-CWuestefeld (October 26, 2009, 12:39 PM)
javascript lends itself well to dynamic programming techniques that you might expect to need a Python or Ruby for.None of these are programming languages. There is some structural difference, right?-CWuestefeld (October 26, 2009, 12:39 PM)
What bullshit are you referring to?Like answering "Javascript" when you're asked for your favorite programming language.-housetier (October 26, 2009, 10:55 AM)
I just can't come up with an idea for a worthwhile project to do in Python.AFAIK you can use it for hacking and stuff. But that's not a good reason, is it?-tranglos (October 26, 2009, 11:41 AM)
You might want to apologize for calling µTorrent bloated.No.-f0dder (October 26, 2009, 08:37 AM)
while the executable is still tiny (a lot smaller than halite, iirc - and thus not exe bloat either).UPX-packed, I presume? So it will be unpacked on runtime -> large overhead.-f0dder (October 26, 2009, 03:08 AM)
Didn't read through all of that, so dunno if any conclusion was reached.Yep, it was: µTorrent systematically leeches non-µTorrent clients.-f0dder (October 26, 2009, 03:08 AM)
Tuxman, nice of you to recommend a client that you've never been able to get workingI didn't recommend Deluge, I said "looks nice".-Ehtyar (October 25, 2009, 06:23 PM)
whilst criticizing what is so far the most highly recommended clientThat doesn't mean it is the best client either, see my comment about its behavior above...-Ehtyar (October 25, 2009, 06:23 PM)
Plus, the installer places the program in the uTorrent Folder so I guess I am right too ;-)These guys are not even able to spell their own software's name. You see?-Josh (October 25, 2009, 06:20 PM)
Just as we in Denmark also learns German, so does the Germans also learn English, if you know what I mean.Sure, but why is it important then if it is English, German or whatever?-Curt (October 25, 2009, 12:38 PM)
Photoshop is highly recommended for resizing picsWTF? For resizing?!-Bamse (October 25, 2009, 10:41 AM)
Not everybody is stinking rich or idealist.Most "pirated" software is something you don't need. You see, people say "hm, I want to edit my holiday pictures, so I'll pirate Photoshop". You use three or four editing functions, nothing else. So why the hell do you want to pirate it? Because you can? Come on...-f0dder (October 25, 2009, 10:10 AM)
The cool stuff is typically expensive Tuxman. Games, Adobe, MS.Adobe is not cool, Adobe is bloated crap. I don't know any home user who really needs their stuff.-Bamse (October 25, 2009, 10:13 AM)
Most do not know much about free or fairly priced alternatives either.Of course they do, it's just that they don't want to use them. It's more "cool" to say "lol I own Photoshop y00!" instead of "hi I use GIMP" or something. However, I can't get it why anyone has to pirate these apps. I am a proud Open Source and Freeware user and even own some legally bought licenses for a couple of applications (I even spent some money for the Vim developer).-Bamse (October 25, 2009, 10:13 AM)
Same goes for illegal software, if done right - and if even possible to avoid risk that way.Why should anyone try illegal software at all?-Bamse (October 25, 2009, 09:41 AM)
Think Rapidshare, p2p, illegal software - some of incomings can be tricky to deal with. Like wanting to "phone home", check serial numbers and such.Seriously: If you tend to install software from suspicious sources, not even a firewall of any kind can prevent you from serious damage.-Bamse (October 25, 2009, 09:25 AM)
PFWs do filter incoming data too, so they are firewalls.That's not the point of a firewall.-f0dder (October 25, 2009, 08:10 AM)
In general, International user-friendliness is not the project's strongest side, it seems.Developed by a German computer magazine, primarily for German users ... well then.-Curt (October 25, 2009, 03:48 AM)
)Are they all build into the program from scratch?They are implemented as modules, single script files that can be loaded dynamically. Not actually "built into it".-Curt (October 25, 2009, 03:48 AM)
