I'm sad that fluid designs are not more common. This is how HTML was intended. I like to play with the size of my windows to fit whatever I'm doing side by side. The only thing I think is acceptable is a maximum text width for those with th

The book "C++ Coding Standards" by Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu is an excellent way to get up to date with modern yet pragmatic C++ style. I also recommend the "Effective C++" series by Scott Meyers and the "Exceptional C++" series b

I didn't read any type theory book but I'm interested in the subject. I think I will buy Pierce's "Types and Programming Languages" based on the recommendations on this thread: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/492

26% producer/74% consumer is more than the 10%/90% I expected. Not everyone has something interesting to say and that's all right. I don't really want more people tweeting what they have for lunch.

I just want to remember everyone that Objective-C is nothing more than Smalltalk with C backward compatibility. Also, the static type checking in early Java is pretty much the same thing as in early C++ (when both were without templates/gen

A quick Google search told me that the transition is not complete. GNU tools have options for si/iec prefixes compliance ( http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Block... ) but the debate is still open elsewhere.

Mac OS X 10.6 get this right and calculate in true KB, MB and GB that is 10^3, 10^6, and 10^9 bytes. I heard that Linux also get this right and now use the KiB, MiB and GiB prefixes for 2^10, 2^20, 2^30. Both options are good.

This variation on the "foldable" bike is clever but it seems to be quite long to assemble and disassemble. It also requires a carrying case.

I don't know if someone else care, but I find it annoying that the "blocks" proprietary extension to C/C++ is conflicting with C++/CLI syntax for managed pointers.

I disagree. Just adding a comment to explain exactly what is factually wrong is a much better way to continue the conversation. Downvotes should be reserved for vulgar, rude, or off-topic comments.

Duh? There is no myth. The "accepted wisdom" in most circles except the startup scene is that you should wait until you have years of experience before starting a company. The whole point of pg in his essays is that young people are best fi

Let's just let the web designers continue to use 960 and implement browsers with full page zoom that considers 1024 pixels as a relative page width for the whole window, no matter its true width. I think that's what iPhone Safari already do
