Indeed this is very dramatic. Positive feedback boosts egos, negative feedback gets the work done. If no one ever received negative feedback, we would spend our lives believing we're perfect while doing everything wrong.

Good observation, but too bad that no one will ever see your high DPI images because the "retina revolution" isn't a thing. Most people won't ever notice the difference.

I don't get how people praises so much the iOS app store. I own an iPad and it's always a chore to find any decent free app. Also lots of paid apps are crappy, and you don't have any refund method. My android phone is filled with free and h

Samsung devices have a pretty good stock ROMs out of the box. Never had the need to flash my Galaxy S2. And they have flashing-free and reversible rooting methods.

That's what statically typed languages call "templates".

That's possible because the language runs on a VM that contains metadata about your data structures, not because of the dynamic typing. If classes are implemented as a hash table of it's fields, then it's easy to add/remove members at runti

Both can do the same (they are turing complete), but some things are harder to do in statically typed languages because of the underlying implementation, like reflection or eval(). Static typing is safer (more compile-time checks) but more

Probably you used Linux at the time it wasn't very mature. I'm running Gentoo now and never had to reinstall to fix things. With modern computers compiling is very fast, most software compiles in less than a minute. I spend more time solvin

That's really not relevant for people like me, who works 90% of the time on his local machine. Even if I have to work with remote machines, I always try to sshfs so I can work with the files locally.

On that example, the syntax looks like Python with a bit of BASIC (the type declarations). That "StringBuilder" object reminds me of Java, I would prefer a concatenation operator. Seems that doesn't use explicit variable declaration. Suppor
