Violation of "explicit over implicit" rule in methods declarations: argument self/&self is implicitly omitted in call, but exist in signature. Because of this, for example, you can't use method of class as request h

Following celebrities on Twitter is the newest form of celebrity gossip, which itself is just a modern rendition of one of the most human of habits, gossip. Gossip is the human version of the grooming seen in other apes, and it is as much a

OK, but that is in no way "following" the man, so I don't see the connection.

I imagine this certainty that narrative == objective truth was less common before mass-market narrative, when people had to learn about events through word of mouth. Hah! No this is human nature. Before the internet there was TV, and befo

The point is that for delivering document content like articles to browsers, client side rendering is inferior, and they should be depending on angular or react to render the content. I do think it's a little extreme to ban sites that

Check out the first few episodes of Casey Muratori's Handmade Hero series where he implements an extremely simple hot code reloading system in C (actually C++, but he doesn't use almost any C++ features, certainly not vtables).

I don't think it's a fake concession. There is academic value in far-out research that isn't relevent to industry, just like there's value in math research and in metaphysics. The point the article tries to make is that

My opinion differs: if you're going to package your tool as a "framework" rather than a "library", you should integrate a large vertical section of the technology being used. This doesn't mean you have to be co

The point is that the parent thinks he's already established himself as a luddite by using so antiquated technology as dead trees.

This is the kind of project that makes much more sense to be paid for by taxes than tolls. The primary goal wasn't to make commutes faster, it was to improve the city and boost the economy on a significant scale. Tolls are a regressive

"Art" and "craft" aren't synonyms though. Art is a subset of craft. A craft can relatively easily be defined as something which is produced by applying skill. Defining art is notoriously hard, but the most terse def

They don't do it differently, they simply avoid the question by not letting you change any binding ever. In languages that embrace immutable bindings but don't enforce them, like scheme, closures work exactly as the parent describ

This article starts with the assumption that testable code is better code. Its primary point against mocks, that mocks let you write tests without changing your code, is dependant on that assumption. Without the assumption, there is no reas

The tor browser bundle does have settings to disable media queries for this reason, but it is still conceivable to be identified by browser size unless you completely disable all embeded media (including images). Perhaps the browser delays

Well also very often a retailer's return policy will be more generous than is required by law because their research shows them that it ultimately increases profit. In the US you can expect to be able to return opened and slightly used

OTOH full work days involve fatigue, which you won't run into only working for 30 minutes. And there's a good amount of context switching that goes on at the workplace as well.

It was not my intention to imply that javascript is not weakly typed. And I think we have collectively determined (correctly) that weak typing is a burden in a general-purpose language. So yes, your conclusion is correct, weak typing is &qu

I'm not Javascript's biggest fan, but the weak typing argument is a little... weak. You never run into problems with weak typing as long as you follow a few rules like using === over ==. Javascript is poorly designed because there

Clojure, and to a slightly lesser extent scheme, are much more Haskell-like than common lisp or emacs lisp. Clojure of course has pattern matching and lazy sequences, so naturally for collections it is very compatible with Haskell's ph

No. First of all, embedded probably constitutes more than 5% of all C++ jobs. Second, embedded is not the only area where C++ is essentially written like C. It might be changing no, but for decades, that's how most C++ was written. In

The whole point of common lisp, the reason it has survived since the beginning of time, is that the language was designed so that language innovation happened by people developing libraries for it. Complaining that common lisp hasn't e

There is llgo[1] which is an implementation of go on top of the llvm toolchain. But if I'm not mistaken, WebAssembly won't accept just any llvm bitcode. It's similar to how emscripten will work with the bitcode that clang out
