   I think the saying is that comments explain why the code does something.

   Scapegoat. The ritual expulsion of the evil spirits wrapped neatly in a little parcel to appease the elders and thereby prevent them blaming each other - harmony continues in the hall of power. Meanwhile the problem was in the process, no

   There's a practicality aspect to it too. The last team I worked on had 3 brits, 4 indians, 2 pakistanis, 1 greek, 1 portuguese, 1 french, 1 australian, 1 kazakh. The misunderstandings and arguments were incessant and no one was parti

   Do "westerners call all Muslims (and Sikhs) terrorists"? Rubbish. Do "they ignore that 85% of the direct victims of terrorism ... are non-fundamentalist Muslims"? No, they don't. People throwing around blanket stat

   Whatever they're for, I think downvoting for a comment should only become available after replying to the offending comment.

   I don't see that the author has an issue with other people getting rich, rather the repeated enriching by cynical projects that exist purely for the exit. It's the philosophical divide between the US and EU, which seem to be butt

   With rovers shooting lasers on Mars I'm disappointed that ligament and joint repair isn't as routine as dental work. Actually, I'm also disappointed that I still have to brush my teeth. The technology trickle down doesn&#x2

   Is there a list of counterforces? https://www.eff.org/nsa-spying https://prism-break.org/en/all/ ... And EFF is NSA centric - is there a UK equivalent? Why are GCHQ getting insignificant heat?

    I'm looking forward to learning Elixir, but expect that it will have no work relevance. I had a look for Go jobs on Brit job sites - three. Great learning experience, both, but the wild is slow to change.

    Moving from Node to Go? From a platform to a language? And what's with the one size fits all - moving? And if moving a project from Node to Go, was Node the correct choice initially, for that project - more one size fits all?

    I do. I've spent a grand total of about five minutes on 4chan, so maybe I've missed the good bits, but it strikes me as utter garbage. I expect they're looking for highly intelligent individuals of a certain kind.

    Now, I believe it depends on the kind of programmers you are. My coworker is the kind who types in a lot of code and rewrites a lot of stuff. I'm the kind of rewires things and make subtle changes Interesting, I was thinking somethin

    "It's the actual writing that's two characters more (start insert mode, write, exit)." Makes sense. Asking for permission to type in a text editor feels counter-intuitive, but I'll give that a try.

    "/ for searching (really, no other editor has made it this simple)" Well, it's really esc-/ which is no easier than ctrl-f. Or am I missing something? Edit: Same with "1G to go to the top of the file, G to go

    Don't know about Ireland, but in the UK you'd need to pay the NLA (newspaper licensing agency) if you want to use news content. And London is crawling (sorry ;) with media monitoring companies.

    Does that RedMonk chart not show that it is fairly cool? You have C# and Java at the top - I wouldn't call them cool, widespread, not cool. It's above, on both axes Arduino, Dart, TypeScript. It's in the vicinity of Clojur

    I've experienced this. It's not tinnitus which is high pitched - this is low pitched. I could hear it best in a certain room, but not when I stuck my head out the window. It occurred over a period when the nearby overground tub

    It's that convention and exclusion of special abstractions that appeals to me by keeping the cognitive load to a minimum. I can focus on the problem without thinking about the language. If Go became like various other languages, then

    I've been keeping an eye on Elixir for a while, waiting for some spare time. What are reasons not to use it in favour of Erlang?

    I don't see that - Cameron recently pointed out that he's a christian, and said that Britain is a christian country. He's bringing religion forward.

    Agreed that not every cultural clash should be compared to 1930's Germany. Alarmist. There's a long way to go before getting to that state of affairs. Northern Ireland, Israel/Palestine, South Africa, ...
