They won't be the same quality as a CS degree, but the thing is, it will be enough . See, it was the same with the industrial revolution. For example, in the times before we had factories for making things, everything was done by hand

Well, to be fair, it looks more like an N64 game or one of those early 3D games for SNES (Star Fox?). After reading the comments, I was expecting something more like this: http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/05

Funny, I thought it was some sort of measure to prevent users from inadvertently causing an SQL injection on a vulnerable site by just clicking a malicious link.

New frameworks != improvement of the language. PHP was shit then and it's shit now. I earned my first money by writing things in that language and I'm very glad that I moved away from that particular technology and web development

Well, jobs are high stress affairs too. We often have to maintain production systems that fail in cryptic ways at the most inconvenient times. I postulate that such situations are more stressful than solving some binary search tree problem

I wouldn't say that it's encouraged, but it indeed is normal. However, one should only do it in the case when the caller function actually can't do anything to handle the error. In this case, the idea is to pass the exceptio

To be fair, things may also start to get messy if you forget to check the return value of a function.

Actually, I wish C had support for templates. It doesn't seem like templates go against C's core philosophy, and not having to cast void*'s back and forth would be nice.

He is comparing checking the error status in C to notifying about an error in C++. Think about it. Those are different things. You can think about throwing exceptions as returning an error status, except the code that handles the error

Correction - everyone thinks that they know Javascript. It's a more twisted language than it appears.

I don't have much problem with programming an embedded device in a high-level language, but why JS specifically? Why not Lua, which just as fast, and is better than javascript in many respects?

My thoughts exactly, instead of killing it off or at least limiting it to the browser, we're trying to shove that abomination everywhere. This is sad.

Also, I didn't mean to say that he writes crappy code. What I meant was, those who already write crappy code will now be less inclined to improve because some tech-celebrity said it's okay.

It's easy transiting from C++ to Java/C#, the the reverse transition is not as easy. I would say that the "mental toolbox" of a C++ programmer includes a lot of things that also belong in a Java programmer's "t

Ubuntu is only slightly better, because at least it allows those who are not pleased with their "innovations" to run Xubuntu.

How about writing it in Perl and using CPAN instead of npm then? There are tons of modules in CPAN. But since Perl is not cool any more, there's always Python and pip.

There are tons of better options to choose from. If you're not making a web UI, literally any choice is better than Javascript, unless that is the only language you know.

It's not quite what I had in mind. RethinkDB schemas are not strictly enforced, and it does not have ACID transactions. I'd much rather see an open source implementation of Google's Spanner, but that's probably a long wa
