Type inference frees one from the boilerplate of, say, Java while maintaining static typing. You still get type safety in compilation.

It's the basis of functional languages such as ocaml and haskell.

Have a read about Damasâ"Hindleyâ"Milner typing.

Firefox OS (Boot to Gecko) has Raspberry Pi (armv6) as a porting goal.

So I imagine if the project ever evolved into BootToServo, rust on low spec ARM would be a prerequisite.

They make fanless i7 boxes? Wouldn't a high load on an htpc melt your case? :)

I've been wondering about getting a Brix or a NUC just as a quiet home desktop. Not having to crank the volume up to 11 just to hear html5 video above the fan matters more than raw performance.

Meanwhile in Spain...

Napoleon snuffed out the Spanish Inquisition, only for it to be reinstated by Fernando the 7th - the great-great-great-great-grandfather of the current King Felipe.

Thus Cayetano Ripoll was excecuted in 1826 in Valencia.

check the xda forums. "official" support for a number of devices is lacking from the cyanogenmod team but hackers often create their own ROMs.

I switched to Firefox OS.

Wu-Tang Clan are still around? They must each be in their 40s by now.

Sounds pretty compatible if you ask me. I wouldn't expect a virtualized ARM processor to load x86 code.

I thought savoury chocolate sauce was the national condiment of Mexico?

You're a galah - the summary clearly says it wasn't a storm.

javac references imported classes from the .class(es) rather than, say, a plaintext header file. Java bytecode doesn't typically preserve parameter names*. Hence the only information the compiler sees for Color is a constructor with 4 int parameters.

* (apparently if you compile with the -g option, for debugging, that info is preserved. Or with -parameters with Java 8)

Nice try but I run debian on my home system.

The poster said they didn't like Unity. Ubuntu runs other desktop environments - trying them out might be an easier migration path than downloading a new ISO media of a completely different distro.

Well if one can 'upgrade' to mint by switching repos then fine.

I was just advising against going to the trouble of wiping an ubuntu install (with working hardware) to clean installing fedora/opensuse etc only to find something didn't work.

Those files are arch-independent and work on x86? My understanding was it was ARM-only but I'm happy to be corrected.

Android-x86 might be an option but is built off AOSP and includes none of the proprietary Google services such as Play - if that bothers the OP.
