Unary, binary, and keyword methods differ only in how they are called. They are very similar in that the method name follows the object after a space. Unary methods have no argument, and binary methods have exactly one argument. Keyword methods can have one or more arguments. text/html 2012-05-11T15:52:28-06:00 xvedejas http://www.valix.org/wiki/doku.php?id=start&rev=1336773148&do=diff The goal-orientated approach that the management books advocate is to find a need and fill it. We don’t get many new ideas out of that because if you ask most people what they want, they want just what they have now, 10 percent faster, 10 percent cheaper, with 10 percent more features. It’s kind of a boring way to predict the future. But if we look at the big hitters in the 20th century, like the Xerox machine, like the personal computer, like the pocket calculator, all of these things did somet… text/html 2011-09-22T18:37:49-06:00 zearen_wover http://www.valix.org/wiki/doku.php?id=langdev&rev=1316738269&do=diff * Tail recursive parsers are easy to write by hand * An example of a hand-written lexer. * An example of a tail recursive parser that generates bytecode. * An extensible prototype object model (PDF). * A bytecode VM in progress. * Worlds (PDF), a side-effect controlling concept. text/html 2011-09-09T14:19:42-06:00 cheery http://www.valix.org/wiki/doku.php?id=premature_optimization&rev=1315599582&do=diff Premature optimizations are class of optimizations that are done before there is anything to optimize. It's uncertain whether a premature optimization should be called 'optimization' at all, because not doing them in first place may end up in faster programs. text/html 2011-08-27T14:50:34-06:00 xvedejas http://www.valix.org/wiki/doku.php?id=build_dependencies&rev=1314478234&do=diff The following dependencies must be installed on your system to build Valix. Currently only the Linux operating system is supported, though some other OSes could be doable with some challenge. * GRUB 1.98 or greater * GCC 4.4.x or greater * xorriso (any current version), sometimes called genisoimage or similar on certain distributions
