True, but it's also worth noting that there were rumors a month ago that Apple is trying to broker an anti-net-neutrality deal with Comcast whereby Apple traffic will get priority treatment: http://www.tuaw.com/2014&#x2

Piketty's argument, as well as the findings of the IMF report, is that what you've called relative wealth and absolute wealth are linked: greater inequality leads to lower growth rates. The entire economy suffers for the benefit

Seriously. I thought this bit of code from the MtGox leak was interesting. Sure looks like a potential double-spend race condition: $out = \DB::DAO('Money_Bitcoin_Block_Tx_Out')->searchOne(array('Hash' => $be

My own theory is that it will take academia another generation to figure out what it has done to itself. With entry-level conditions becoming more and more terrible, the best students will increasingly seek careers outside the academy, and

That sounds like the kind of growing pains experienced when you set up any new largish development environment. If we're up and running with ecosystem X, we forget how much work it took to get there, because it was amortized over time

But that's just the issue: IntelliSense isn't a GPS. Tell a GPS what your goal is and it will give you an explicit list of instructions to achieve it. IntelliSense can only tell you what your available next steps are. It&#x27

Hah! Yes, I am (or pretend to be) competent, just not when writing HN comments ;). Thanks for the daily serving of humble pie. I do wonder if there's something about .NET and a business environment that encourages this kind of behavi

As someone who has recently been hiring .NET engineers, I have to admit that this inspires mixed feelings. On the one hand, I can see huge power from combining AI and search with the structured context of programming. On the other hand, a

The phrase "div-soup" makes me reach for my revolver. It seems to be a straw man that means "Either you're for Web Components or you're for the worst of web engineering." - How does ShadowDOM (or Web Component

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I truly do not understand why Google feels that application composition should happen at the presentation layer rather than the code layer, particularly when the presentation laye

Not cleanly. You have to pass the arguments in explicitly, and you also need to convert them to an array (the arguments object is not an array [only array-like] and it's not supposed to escape its function body). So you need to do: va

'Args.caller.arguments' gives me the willies. That's a non-standardized extension combined with a deprecated one [0][1]. I'd have to be itching quite a lot to scratch it like this. 0 - https://developer.mozi

Wait, do I understand you correctly that Google fetched the image even before you requested that images be displayed in the email? That seems like a boon to marketers, not a bane.

Right, drag scales with the square, but you're also going into that drag at a higher velocity, so power scales with the cube. Or to break it out at more length, work is force times distance, right, and power is work over time. If it t

This is uninformed FUD. You can "see" what's in VS's project files just fine. The file format is straightforward XML with fairly obvious semantics. Having worked with both VS's .csproj files and UNIX makefiles, .

No, unfortunately. If a reference isn't found in your context object, it falls through to the ambient namespace. So say you run ... context = { foo: 1, bar: 2 }; with (context) { foo = 2; bar = 3; }

No, thank you for replying. I'm not sure I deserve it -- a little while after I posted, I realized that my C# in many cases missed the point, and in a couple was flat out wrong (BitSet). That led me down a path of researching more

The parent commenter was mostly asking about C# to Scala, so for comparison, here's you snippet in C# with LINQ. It's a little more verbose -- C# generics need to be a little more explicit -- but I think you'd agree it'
