Agree, both of those features are very exciting and I'm looking forward to using them. The biggest feature I'm still missing from C# is a non-nullable reference type. I know there are various Nuget packages that add "Maybe&qu

There's a decent chance some of them are reading this thread; what would you want to ask them?

The fact that the function keys aren't "customizable" is a feature, not a bug. The contextualization being touted as a selling point of the Touch Bar means that instead of relying on muscle memory to push a key that is always

What do you mean by "screwed-up interface"? After using 10 (upgraded from 7) for the last few months, I can only say that the interface is better. Any changes that I've noticed have been improvements, so I'm genuinely cu

Pretty solid specs for the base model. I'm very interested to see how much those numbers go up (or down, in the case of 0-60) as the options are revealed.

They announced during the livestream that they already have 115k preorders. Pretty crazy considering that they were all made site-unseen (I guess barring Tesla employees that placed their preorder and knew what the car looked like).

Would it have been so hard to just type "high availability" rather than making him feel bad for being one of today's 10,000? https://xkcd.com/1053/

I highly recommend "RabbitMQ in Action" ( https://www.manning.com/books/rabbitmq-in-action ). It has been an invaluable reference in incorporating RabbitMQ into our production environment.

I guess what I was hoping to emphasize is that the number of variables involved in trying to quantify something like this make it difficult (probably impossible) to have an accurate comparison -- even more so when attempting to generalize t

I agree, I think there are many more issues to consider. However, the OP seemed to be focusing on that particular argument, hence my comment. A few examples: "The results were that the people using the dynamic version of the language g

I made this point in an earlier comment, but I'm a firm believer that if the speed at which you can physically type code is the bottleneck, then you are going to eventually have much bigger problems. Hastily written code will require m

The study the OP references (from the original talk) seems suspect to me; in particular, the fact that the researcher created both a static and a dynamic version of his own language. Generalizations about the time required to "get stuf

A lot of points being made seem to focus on how quickly one is able to write code, and how dynamically typed languages are better since "you can write code faster!". If the speed at which you are physically able to write your code

100 years ago, we were just getting around to inventing the light switch. I think you are seriously underestimating the pace at which this technology is advancing. It might take 10+ years for this technology to become mainstream in all lik

It does bother me, yes. However, I've gotten in the habit of just middle-clicking on links (opening them in a new tab) regardless of the site I'm on.

I just downloaded Unreal Tournament a few days ago and have enjoyed playing it quite a bit (played lots of UT 2004, forgot how much I missed it!). If I want to get involved in development, what's the best way to get started?

Isn't there an element of truth to that sentiment though? The situation with Reddit is reminiscent in some ways to Digg's downfall with the release of v4 (which ironically contributed significantly to Reddit's growth). What i
