   I have a number of custom allocators that use the same techniques, with some improvements. When space is cheap: All allocations are two 4k pages The returned pointer is alligned with the end of the buffer to detect overruns. (with a 16byte

   Making the parenthesis optional makes it harder to differentiate between taking a method reference and the return value.

   My favorite features du jour are missing, generics on value types and structs.

   What about a northwestern European model ? Equality through high taxes.

   I would guess they are searching for a more egalitarian society, looking at the specific images they but on the bills.

   Compiletime enforcement that a reference isn't null in a language like java is very powerfull, more useful then c++ const in my opinion.

   To me it seems the magic is in getting the blur kernel in the first place, how do you get that ?

   So I'm lucky to have an ISP that has a zero evil score ? Or is that something i can expect normally.

    As a programmer I find this offensive, we work all day trying to make software good (enough). As I see it the problem is with users, they think they should get programs, like firefox, for free. Most programs you use on a daily basis are now

    I'd count the unittest code too, it needs to be maintained too.

    Inversely I have had experiences with maintenance coders going like mercenaries into code i wrote and without respect for architecture or future extensions making changes because they didn't understand the code and we're not interested in

    Maybe the article has been changed but it indeed says that it most likely not about cost but about pushing a 'premium' dns service.

    Reddit is now a tree with only one level of nesting. What would help is making the subreddits a graph, and not have all the subreddits trunk in the frontpage.

    It is often not possible for the rewritter to change all the uses of the old system.

    Rewriting might still be faster then understanding an existing implementation.

    Loop-and-a-half is a very common and useful pattern, I don't see anything wrong with the second code snippet.

    For me it was a big case of Not Invented Here syndrome that caused me to make my own compilers and languages. It is a great way to learn deep stuff about how languages work, and helps me debug issues that others can't fix.

    Nonnullable (static) class fields and constructors don't mix however, which is why you don't see it as a language addition so far. Nonnullable local variables and function parameters however could easily work within the current c# language.

    Exhausting ports or generating a lot of TIME_WAIT states would also cause similar problems. How to protect against those ?

    I find it hard to believe in the way Dijkstra seems to want to develop software. To me he seems to believe in the existence of faultless, consistent and complete specifications. I don't believe that the specifications and requirements of su

    What if this is caused by inflation. Meaning that 1$ per day is not comparable between years.

    Try to build the simplest, crappiest thing you can think of. Leave perfectionism at work.
