Yep, me as well. Thanks!

Ok, good. A thing like that doesn't inspire confidence, but presumably it was just a typo then.

Apologies to the article writer, i didn't notice and shouldn't have assumed.

Yeah, what the hell? That wont even compile. Is this thing even real? Why wouldn't the just use the actual output of their tool?

You're not wrong, but in the real world it frequently happens that the choice of language is not the bottleneck. The bottlenecks are usually things like memory, network and file I/O, making the language you write in make very litt

A functional MRI study of 17 people blind since birth found that areas of visual cortex became active when the participants were asked to solve algebra problems, a team from Johns Hopkins reports in the Proceedings of the National Academy

He didn't pick up a pre-alpha nightly build of the framework, he used the release candidate for christ's sake. A release candidate is a "release candidate", that is to say "we're pretty sure we could release th

Man, Hillary clearly needs better IT people.

Yeah, I've had a similar experience: i only ever use iTunes for one thing, and that's as an Apple Music client. If you limit yourself to that, it's actually quite nice, much better than Spotify. However, if I were trying to o

Yes, indeed, i was agreeing with the parent. I should have perhaps made that clearer.

I think this critique is just plain wrong on its face. A huge number of both game reviewers and players recognize good pixel art as great, and don't assign it a "pixel tax". Look at Hyper Light Drifter. Every one who's s

Tries are lovely little datastructures, don't let anyone tell you any different. It's not like you'll use them every day, but they're nice to have when needed!

I basically agree, but I would say that a slightly deeper understanding of regular expressions is a really useful thing to know for basically all professional programmers. If for no other reason they can recognize the "pathological&quo

Yeah, obviously, there are lots of ways to improve that code. First off all, much more efficient to to do (i * i <= n) instead of (i <= sqrt(n)), or at the very least you can cache sqrt(n) so you don't recalculate it every step.

Yeah, the O(1) refers to the size of the EXTRA memory you need, aside from the input. Defining it any other way would be strange. So, for instance, binary search over a sorted list needs O(log n) of memory (for the same reason as the prime

That's an argument against ever adding ANYTHING to a new language! "Oh, we have this neat feature in mind, but because code that uses it wont work on older versions of the compiler/interpreter, we can't use it!" Pyt

1- That's certainly true, git is really hard to learn. But if you're a developer it's worth getting comfortable with it, which means not going for the "nuclear option" every time something weird happens. Someone on

That's clever, I'll remember that. But don't you lose all tracking information if you do that?

I use Vim for regular development and has mapped <Space> to colon in normal mode, so for me it feels very much like a single action to just tap those three keys in quick succession with different fingers on one hand then tapping <E

That's certainly true, but at least that's not going to cause an infinite loop while wandering down the structure, it's just gonna end at a leaf "ref" or "id".

I would imagine this feature is primarily useful if you want to serialize a whole bunch of objects that all reference each other, but it makes me feel a bit icky. It feels like it breaks an intuitive assumption you have about hierarchical f
