Because there are army recruiters in american high schools... This for me was an unbelievable experience as a German, where if the army would be involved with any kind of school it would be a major scandal. But while in high school in ameri

I think you misunderstood me. What I meant was that contracts in a language like C# give me the ability to statically verify the program at compile time. It is not a "nicer way to add conditional testing logic" but a way to formal

Yeah, right next to Waldo :D

Funny how i just spend a few minutes reading something about a company, followed a few links and all I know is that the founders like sunglasses. No idea what they are doing.

Personally I don't get contracts when they aren't used for static verification. It's much easier to use defensive coding techniques at runtime without having yet another framework in there that anyone who wants to read the co

News@11: Working at BigCorpXYZ is not rainbows and puppies like in the brochure. Who knew.

Exactly this... This comparison is statistically on very shaky ground at best. Sidenote: HN page rank is not solely based on upvotes (for example the recurring recruitment thread). So analyzing it like it was will not provide reasonable res

I don't get why people do this without looking at least once at all the existing open source html rendering implementations. Also, css shaders.

Demoscene is not about flashy graphics. It's about doing something beautiful with code (this includes the way the code uses the machine to do things that go beyond, like mode 13h).

What he means is that is exactly what the browser does already. It's just slower because it handles more of the standard. It rasterizes the DOM.

It is quite useless to a discussion to critique an established technique like this without offering alternative or explanation. Obviously it is difficult to give objective ratings to very different kinds of elevation gain. 10 meters of step

I was genuinely curious as this keyboard propped up a couple of times in different places over the last weeks. But it seems there is no innovation here, just one more for the pack.

Keyboards are very personal and imo more expensive is not necessarily better. At home I have a DAS MX brown, but at work I'm using a <10$ IBM 7953 rubber dome one and it beats the MX's (for me) for progging by a mile.

What makes this different to the keyboards with the exact same feature set that are established for years and years already (Filco, DAS, happyhack...)?

Yeah, the information restriction is much more severe in the big picture.

I'm pretty sure copyright isn't everything in this. Trademarks seem a much higher legal barrier for example.

This was not the point i was making. Btw I hate to destroy your little made up world where all your stereotypes and what you think are a reality, but I don't live in the U.S., my company has under 10 employees and is self founded... P.

Btw we are working class too, even with those fancy 6 figure salaries... At least I'm not living of off strutting around in my park telling my gardener what to do while stroking a white cat. I don't have employees in my factory so

For example you have to allocate a buffer to hold the information you receive. If that's too small, you miss stuff. There is also a lot of intricacy with permissions and you can mess up a lot when multithreading without knowing how to

But ReadDirectoryChangesW notoriously misses updates. Also it would scale horribly to large amounts of files. NTFS has a feature called Change Journals where you can view a volume as a stream of changes.

by MrDosu 12y ago
Well there is, but it's unreliable in certain edge cases. At least not reliable enough for a backup solution.

by MrDosu 12y ago
About every form of backup software will use change journals to identify what to backup and how it changed. Change journals are streams that are per volume (so to monitor some directory in C:\ i have to monitor the C:\ change stream). It&#x

Is this because I now get a free proprietary game engine with every single Kickstarter game sponsoring? About time we stop the 500 monkeys reinventing 500 wheels in parallel (at least it's concurrent monkeys, they smell nicer).
