Startups as fast-growing companies take a very particular role in history, in economy and in a nation. This is a deep concept with a lot of ramifications and implications. Of course this is intrinsically linked to the concept of innovation

A loop is based on a conditional jump (aka. a flow control statement in imperative langs) which makes all the difference. The problem with jumps (is usually called a jump, purely arbitrary jump) is that they are arbitrary: http://news.ycom

Goto's are bad because they allows you to jump to anywhere in the code, regardless of structure, which undermines all assumptions you can make about control flow. Knowing where you are jumping doesn't help you to make assumptions about th

Also early exits are the exact same things as GOTOs. It equals to: goto end; ... end: It should help people figure out why it's bad - in 99.99% of the cases.

I've coded that this evening for the fun and also because I'm using a todo list myself in a text file or in trello, but for very short term things (an hour or two, or three). Also, at my job, we recently made a folder to share crap files wh

EDIT 1): the right term must not be energy but odds . Please display on a page a news amount according to an odds threshold (and maybe a minimum of 30 news, it's not a problem in this way for us, maybe it is for you). Anyway, thx.

One of my favorite pg essays of all time. Same here. I figured out that one can turn into an optimization problem her user satisfaction and that it was key to get a successful product and then key for the company, but it's even funnier: c

1) For fairness and effectiveness concerns, on the top news pages, please display a number of news according to energy thresholds, energy being the same variable used to determine the position of a news. 2) Please put a mark on the last

Be sure that those games are in my heart too. But these numbers doesn't correspond to trully highly succesful games. That's why ID has been sold for only $100M. For a comparaison, Riot Games has been sold for $400M with only one game (Lea

You forget the Call of Duty engine which is, if I'm not wrong, still made of Quake engine code... Sure, others made trully successful games with their technology. Others, like Valve, actually did the video games history since the 2000's. ID

My point wasn't that ID Software made buggy games. My point is I think that they don't know since a while what a trully successful video game is made of.

by FredBrach 14y ago
Do you have actual sales numbers to back that up or is this based on anecdotal evidence, or is it just because you didn't like the games as much :)? Oh I've always liked ID Software and I still do. But anecdotal evidence show that it's

Ok you're right . I've deleted that. I say right because we could discuss hours about what nobody means. Oh just a question, so did you bought quake?

There have been plenty of hugely successful and highly regarded titles that were filled with bugs and crashed a lot I think it's false, and a huge mistake. There is rare cases, but not plenty. Video games (I mean video games for core game

why? Also because x * 1/sqrt(x) == sqrt(x) (so on a pentium, an sqrt was 3 cycles further an inv-sqrt, pretty cheap for an sqrt)

Do you aim private life meetings or not only? Btw, the website is strong, looks serious and relatively trustable. It's a bit tedious to access the content but it's not very important, some people will care anyway. Best luck with it.

I think I got the point of the website finally. You should probably consider removing the sexual orientation of the profile informations, at least for a time, because it can be misleading about the goal of the website.
