I agree with your overall points, but sarcasm and characterizations of those who disagree with you as communists isn't conducive to conversation.

I understand how you feel, but I can't imagine Google's restricting the service for anything but practical reasons. Minors are, legally, a special case, and Google+, being in such an early stage of development, might not have the privacy fe

Perhaps not compared to, say, car accidents in the U.S., but that doesn't by any means imply that it's rare enough to not be a valid concern for potential victims. From the wikipedia article cited above: "Rape prevalence among women in the

I don't think his intention was to characterize all men as thinking/behaving that way, but to point out that those men exist, and that there is a historical/cultural aspect to the prevalence of that behavior. That is, I think he was just tr

As with other minority issues, I'd imagine he's speaking out on it because he feels that: - The population he speaks for is a minority: they aren't yet well represented within the group - Those who are in the group may feel uncomfortable sp

There was a somewhat related discussion a while back; you might find it interesting if you missed it. Granted, it's for a different demographic (25+ US citizens), and doesn't cover the gender aspect, just education level. http://news.ycomb

When I last worked on a Java project, I ended up going back and forth between Sublime Text and Eclipse. ST makes navigating the code more quick and smooth - the minimap takes away the feeling of looking at code through tunnel vision, you ca

Have you been having a problem with a particular language? I've been using Sublime Text to work on code with comments in Japanese without a problem for almost 2 years now (well, the fonts were squished at first, but that bug was fixed a lon

There's been a bit of backlash against that, though - while it does set an upper bound on the negotiation, it also couches the range of the whole negotiation (i.e. the other side is unlikely to make a significantly lower counter-offer, sinc

But for Android consumers, hardware manufacturer is usually a secondary choice. I won't contest that Apple's ahead, but all this survey really points out is that Apple has more control over their branding - consumers have no need to disting

Not insignificantly, though, Sega dropped the ball on their (already limited selection of) first-party software before they dropped out of the hardware business. Nintendo has multiple franchises that are all at least as strong as Sonic was

Good point. There was an absolute dearth of games where mouse-like control would make sense, which is what the controller was actually good at. A few mediocre FPSs, a port of Pikmin, and I don't even remember any Tactical RPGs or RTS games.

They seem to be trying to position themselves so that they're not viewed as competing with App Store games. Granted, they still, to some degree at least, have to compete over developer resources, and their attitude toward indie developers i

I wholly agree with you, though I think what he may have meant by "squandered potential" was their decision to target their marketing (and many of their first party titles) at more casual gamers, seemingly abandoning their core audience.

I don't really understand all of the characterizations of the new controller as "novel", "risky", or even "innovative", for that matter. It's essentially an application of the concepts behind the (very successful) DS, and the idea of having

I want to give some concrete, actionable advice, because when I hit a similar roadblock, I didn't know where to go for advice, and ended up not getting anywhere for a good while. What finally got me where I wanted to be was learning Design

Perhaps you could return an Either from the constructor, and then either have a special construct to handle Left: myObj = new Object() :{ cleanup() } or require dummy objects in case of failure: myObj = new Object() ?? new Du

Forgive my ignorance, but what about this method saves us from having to use continuations to unwind/rewind the stack, as Exceptions do?

If you were to implement this in a procedural language with side effects, what would you do about "finally"?

In this case, 'who' and 'that' are mostly equivalent. If you're talking about a specific person, sometimes 'who' is the only choice, but here it probably doesn't matter. 'Which' wouldn't be used here because 'are studying language pedagogy'

"The" is very much a sticking point for native speakers of languages that don't have a similar construct; i.e. a Spanish speaker wouldn't likely have trouble with it, but a Japanese or Korean speaker more likely would. The issue is 'a' vs '

This is presented as though it's an instance of regulatory capture - which it may be - but I don't think we really have enough information to draw that conclusion. It's entirely possible that there was concern for contamination or the like
