I never said that it does. I was responding to this line in the parent comment: "I know you're referring to Snowden's inclusion of Russia on that list, but in this case, they (and maybe China) are the only ones who can stand

Do you really believe that Russia and China took this stance out of morality? Come on, let's not be naive here. This is a political tool to them.

I like how you snuck in "modern languages (like Closure)", as if C# is not a "modern language". Both languages have their place, but let's not pretend that Closure is somehow superior for all applications.

I have always loved (J)RPG's. I tend to think of them more as great books than simple games. Graphical quality is typically not of much importance for us who love this sort of game. Old or not, it is a great game, and we'll pay

Why should tutorials cater to a spec which was ratified over twenty years ago and has been superseded by two subsequent standards? Sure, VS only supports C89... but anyone writing serious applications in C avoids VS if at all possible anyw

I'm curious; how many games have you written? I mean, real games which really push the hardware? Non-deterministic GC sweeps are a non-starter, and not being able to tweak out that last bit of performance to boost your frame rate whe

Funnily enough, I also have a cousin who is an electrician. We have been very close all of our lives (my parents adopted him at 14) and he went the college route at first. He wanted to write software. Now, Josh (my cousin) is not a stupid

Agreed 100%. I know many will tear me apart for this, but not everyone is cut out for higher education, and lowering standards does not make that any less true. There is nothing wrong with skilled labor. We need it and it is vital for any
