Open two pages for each link, the link itself and the comments behind that. Don't forget to refresh the comment page when you want to contribute.

From the man himself ( http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/duffs-device.html ): "Transformations like this can only be justified by measuring the resulting code. Be careful when you use this thing that you don't unwind the loop so much that you ov

This is the wrong answer in so many ways. Starting with, if you're in a dynamic language and you're so performance sensitive that you can't take the hit of a loop comparison, you're doing it wrong. But...Pretending you actually need to unro

Clever. I saw the visual pun since the shape of the Я contains the I. Very cool that it's also reflected semantically.

That candy and soda count as a perk indicates the demographic Facebook is trying to woo to work there.

This is an awesome, awesome pitch for the research of dynamic languages, both in real-world and academic settings. You can tell Steve Yegge's enthusiasm for the topic, 'cause it just gushes out, and it's pretty infectious. I don't even real
