You only lose type safety if you're writing generic containers. If you don't need a customStack or something similar you'll be fine. While I think it's good to know how to write containers, and how they work, how frequen

I had to change the font because the file wasn’t loading... I'm not sure if there were any confessions. It was basically a "hey, you should try out Go. Maybe. If you want. I like it…" kind of post.

But at least with XP you could recreate the 9x interface without installing additional software.

The problem I see is that most people don't really look beyond the current political parties in their immediate vicinity (IE: those campaigning near them presently). This leads to people really only seeing the American Libertarian move

Yes, because I didn't take the OP as saying that those were though-crimes. The way I took it was more that because those ideas are a hindrance and harmful to moving a society forwards. I believe that people should be free to have those

BTW it's somehow incorrect to call practitioners of the Roman Catholic Church. They do not follow the traditions and intellectual heritage of the Early Christian Church. Fuck off. Christianity split multiple times, not just Roman Catho

Come now. The Star Trek movie curse is somewhat true, at least for movies two through eight. Each odd numbered movie (in the set) has a worse all time domestic ranking than the following even numbered movie (in the set). There is at lease s

A public company's only goal is to create value for its share holders. While I personally believe things should be different, they aren't. A company that doesn't make money is useless to it's shareholders, and typically

A programmer might not be allowed to show you their past work due to it being proprietary.

Right, you would look at similar things that your potential carpenter has built. You would also try to do that with programmers. But a good deal of the things programmers built are team built, or proprietary, it's difficult to know wha

Right? The whole time I was watching it all I could think was "this really isn't all that impressive". Most of what they did is stuff that's been in movies for decades. There wasn't anything really interesting. I me

Some of the Star Trek films... Insurrection (9) was better than Nemesis (10) in my opinion.

Good on you for putting something together, but I think your original complaint about Google not putting something similar in GMail is way off. Email is an inherently asynchronous medium, it's up to you how frequently you check it. Hav

There are lots of CS students who haven't learnt to "think better". They can type out symbols, and know what those symbols mean individually, but they can't combine them in meaningful ways without lots of prompting.

by dkuntz2 13y ago
I cite a host of CS students that I've tutored who have "learned to program" (as in, they know what the symbols mean, and if given prompting can write them), but can't think logically. They can write code, but not by the

I think you're right and wrong: Programmers can be similar to mechanics, but that can alternatively be similar to engineers. It's all semantics, but the people taking part in the whole "learn to code" thing are most li

I think you should amend that from "will" to "could". You could have a terrible teaching, you might not have the will to learn, and you might not learn.

by dkuntz2 13y ago
I personally think that the whole "learn to code" meme is a little silly, but I also think that everyone should be exposed to programming at least once. I think that things like code.org are pretty cool, but the tone most of those

I think the problem in the premise is right on: while each package is created once, there are multiple packages which are all different implementations of the same problem (see Photoshop, Gimp, and all other photo manipulation tools; or rea

Why? It and Solaris are the only even somewhat known OSs that are 100% POSIX complaint... All that aside, I understand completely not wanting a Mac. I don't know about the BSDs, but Thinkpads are wonderful with Linux.

While Google Music has a hard limit, if you use Google Music All Access you don't need to upload your songs, you can add any music they have to your library without that counting as part of your 20000 songs limit. I don't know any

Google most likely collaborated with HP to create it. Provided they did (because they might not have) I would argue they helped produce it. Discarding the HP Chromebook, the Moto X and Moto G are arguably Google produced, as are the entire

Social anxiety != unsocial. Plus, it was a technical phone interview, where your abilities are relevant, as opposed to a "is this an okay person" phone interview with HR.
