Actually, if you're browsing the code in Visual Studio, it's a hell of a lot easier to jump around the code if you have one class per file. All the main navigation UI is geared to the file level - the tree in solution explorer is all files.

You're not wrong... but doing that right, over an entire population is really hard. I think there is some attempt to do this in many schools. Kids skip grades, kids stay back. There's honors programs and remedial programs. Honestly, I think

Yeah, and the moon landing was faked, and there's fluoride in the water to keep us all meek. Right. Cause we're obviously all so good at doing what we're told in this country. OH WAIT.

I couldn't agree less. If you can't write a proper essay, then you can't write a paper on the new algorithm you invented, you can't write legible documentation for the library you wrote, and you can't argue effectively about the merits of o

You can always use gdb to debug. However, with type safety and proper unit tests (which are easy to write with Go's interfaces) you often don't need it.

Go doesn't have the ternary operator, and I thank the Go gods for that every day :) Go is good because it's hard to write clever code in it. Go encourages simple code. Clever code is almost always bad. It's hard to understand and easy to s

The team working on Go regularly rejects proposals that make the language more complex just to save a few keystrokes. They and most experienced Go programmers value the simplicity of the language. Syntactic sugar is routinely rejected out o

You can actually read the go language spec in a couple hours. You can pick up and be productive in the language in a weekend. And yet you can optimize code down to the byte level where needed. This is the uniqueness of Go. It is familiar en

yes thank god. I almost skipped it when I saw it was a slide deck, until I saw the notes. I hate it when people link to a slide deck with no notes. It's almost completely useless.

You can control the details without it having to be overly fiddly. Certainly you can do better than C. You may end up doing similar things, but your code will be way easier to write and read. Go does this quite well.

We don't have nationwide standards for curriculum in the US.. shocking, I know. Most schools do similar things, but there's a wide variety of quality and content of education.

Then you're lucky. Not everyone has that opportunity. Everyone uses computers pretty much every day. Knowing a little bit about how computers work can make it 1000x easier to use computers. If you believe it's all magic, you can't properly

They're backed by software people, because most software people think coding is awesome and want more people to do it. Also, it's really hard to find good programmers, so they want more people to start doing it, yes.... but teaching 10 year

Try Go. No vm. Compiles super fast (one of the most annoying parts of static typing when used for big programs). Obvious and easy to use closures. Implicitly fulfilled interfaces for painless compile time duck typing, and type inference for

Most enterprise systems start off with requirements similar to those you think of with a database - a lot of data with high expectations of performance. For example, the program I work on has to support a million row database that can be so

Most modern monitors are 16:9 to match HD movie aspect ratios. If it was 16:9 it would be only 1440 pixels tall, a reduction of 15%.

by NateDad 14y ago
Absolutely. I hated when everyone started making 16:9 monitors. The 16:10 ones weren't quite as bad, but seriously, give me some vertical pixels. Especially true for coding where it's useful to see as many lines of code on the screen at pos

You assume people working at programming jobs for years on end have a clue... that's not always true. I've worked with people who couldn't do fizzbuzz, or describe the difference between an interface and an abstract class, or any other basi

I use gmail and google docs because they're good. Why else would I use them? Cheap? There's plenty of free email programs out there. None compare to gmail. I'll agree that when I need to get really down and dirty with a spreadsheet, I whip

The screen is the only thing to like. If it had 256gb drive, 8gb RAM, and an i7, then I'd be a lot more likely to look at it (and install ubuntu on it). Yes, it has a touch screen... do people actually like touch screens on their laptops?

In SVN you still have to update (and in fact, if you try to commit without updating, it'll complain at you). That's the same as git pull. So all that leaves is one extra step, the push.
