   Yep, you can get 9800 chess pieces for a total price of $49000. (392 per kg x 25kg x $5). Still a significant investment :)

   Programmers' world is populated with very abstract concepts that they use to reason and draw conclusions. I think this post discuss the applicability of this reasoning outside of the virtual sphere. So assigning farming to #{X}, programming

   Hum, I don't think interpreting this comment as Python is not adequate for performance critical applications is misinterpretation. The author makes it very clear in some other part of the text: > [Python] has all of the features that

   > “su” was written to only change to the root user on the system. It wasn’t designed to switch to any other user that has an account. “su” meant “super-user”. I need to sit down for a second. It is slightly over dramatized, isn't it ?

   Well, it isn't really a matter of file system since it is possible to implement "tags" on any FS using links. (i.e. by creating directories named after tags and by populating these directories with links to the actual files.) Therefore what

    What does it mean to be right-to-left? If it means that least significant values are on the right side and most significant ones on the left side, then domain names are left-to-right (as opposed to numeric notation).

    Well Clojure is actually a lisp dialect, more generally speaking, functional programming languages get more attention nowadays than back in 2004. Since 2004, we have F# Clojure, Scala was released in 2003.... Considering how hard it is to p

    Note that locking primitives include memory fences, that's why you are not confronted with re-ordering problems unless you do lockfree multicore programming. From my experience, the fence is much costlier than the actual locking (at least

    I disagree, why would you even submit a pull request if you expect it to be ignored. I think the whole point was to write a sensational blog post.

    1. There is no such a thing as C / C++. "Real" C++ is closer to other OO languages than it is from C. 2. It is not because a language is not a good option for teaching that it isn't worth using. BTW After hours of debate, I still think that

    Wow, although I don't care much about the Surface (I use Linux and laptops) I am very surprised how fast everyone is at bashing the Surface. It looks like if was a lost cause before even it was lunch.

    I agree with this, but I have the feeling that some people have mixed feelings regarding this problem. Hence my (rather precise) question: Can someone that like this article AND dislike [1] explain me.

    I think hyperboles serve a purpose: they provide additional meta informations, generally about author's emotions. It helps to understand author's exact mind set and makes the text more enjoyable to read. Edit: This Everything is my fault
