   I wonder what will be iRacing's answer.

   Grouping aspartame and sucralose as if they are the same substance is a huge problem with this article. Too little science.

   > and we're talking math and science that most learn in 4th grade Precisely what I was thinking. Basic programming will be just something for 4th grade that almost everyone will have forgotten when 20.

   Just as everyone is already a mathematician, a historian, and a biologist in high school. Learning programming doesn't mean to be any good at it, or choose it as a career.

   I think Opera comes with a VIM compatible keyboard setup.

   So, Google got scared about the possibility of a 'Facebook Web Search' for nothing?

   I think it is different to show 'the portal results' and to show 'also my social results'. That's a crucial distinction.

   Atheism doesn't change human nature in any fundamental way. Reddit is not at fault here. In fact, I see human nature as ritualistic as ever. As I see the world, most things in religion are more human-in-a-society based (a ritual for adultho

   wxWidgets is my choice. Native widgets in all platforms. I also believe it is the preferred toolkit for game related development if your game uses OpenGL and or DirectX.

    I think you mean Special Operator UNWIND-PROTECT.

    by Shorel 15y ago

    IIRC, Common Lisp has an UNWIND-PROTECT operator for that. It works even if exceptions are thrown, and it is the reason Common Lisp (as opposed to Scheme) has no continuations.

    We can add code to destructors to do general stuff, not only deallocation. The same applies for constructors. In C++ this works amazingly well for objects in the stack (not in the heap, as you need call the destructor yourself).

    by Shorel 15y ago

    Yeah! Objects in the stack are easy to use, logical, and orders of magnitude faster to instantiate than objects in the heap! (when the underlying runtime uses malloc)

    Of course he is right when he writes about fundamental issues. He's very smart and knows the implications of laws and licenses. However, he allows no room for dissent, no transition path, no concessions for the real world. His followers are

    True, and the fact that they are very clear about it seems to make a difference. Also, they have a marketplace that has helped lots of developers already. The point is, whatever Apple is doing, is not as bad as the "is not ready until Lotus

    I believe that developers, carriers, some consumers, analysts, hackers, etc., remember the MS DOS and Windows monopoly, the MS dirty tactics (it's not ready until Lotus doesn't work!) and general sleaziness, and don't want, in any way, to e

    Yes, it has nothing to do with their Windows monopoly and a total lack of guarantees to any developer who wants to create applications for it. Do an office suite? Not viable, MS has its own version. Do a nice application for doing whatever?

    All applications in the future will have to be network aware. They can be web based, but they can use other tech if that fits better. I believe parent post simply criticizes the fact that some solutions ignore the possibility of something t

    I believe the issue is that web development is normally far easier than the alternatives. So, some ideas are tested in the web, and if they are successful and they benefit from going native, they will be reimplemented in a more close to the

    I would take a modified Tortoise SVN client over this about 100% of the time.

    In the article they reference low fat diets and calorie counting, in every single study cited. In fact, the word carbohydrates appears only once in the whole article. In Taubes book calories from fat != calories from sugar. It's not hard to

    Irrelevant. I would rewrite your comment this way: Developers don't trust Microsoft. Who wants the OS vendor to make competition for their software? Not many developers. And Microsoft will if it can, because it has to grow. The XBOX succeed
