As my other comments outline, there is some science, although you are right in that empirical work on software engineering is a very small niche. Most people just report studies like: "Hey, look what I cooked up in my basement using ha

It's true that other languages often don't require certain patterns. Strategy and Visitor are often unnecessary when a programming language has functions as first class citizens. I found that it often helps to remember that the Go

I agree. Simply put, it would sense to provide #define CharPointer char* and then declare char c = 'a'; CharCointer p = &c; To me this became clear when I did some C# interop, where IntPtr is a common cla

Thank you for clarifying. I have never heard of "declaration mirrors use" (DMU) before. Also thank you for explaining it in a non-hateful way (which isn't always the tone when touching religious matters). Next up: Tabs vs. Sp

I wouldn't agree to call it "wrong", since we're talking about languages that are trying to discourage you from doing your own memory management *(C#, that is, but I'd say this applies to any language running in a V

The equivalent in C# always made more sense to me (not comparing memory or allocation model between the languages, but simply syntax in relation to a person reading it): int[] arr = new int[5]; // C# int arr[5]; /&

Here are some thoughts. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad w510, which I bought in 2009. I work as a software developer, scientist and play games occasionally. Pros: - Extremely Powerful. - i7, 4 Cores - Came with 4 GB RAM - GeForce Quatro Fx 880M -

Code using single letter variable names and abbreviations makes people up to 15% slower at understanding code [1, 2]. Of course it is possible to determine - bottom up - what a variable is supposed to do or that p is short for pointer, it s

I enjoyed it. I would love if it was tougher though. Most enemies are vulnerable when you strafe away and attack them from the side. I found that out pretty quickly and for that reason didn't like the power sword, because the knockback
