The only people I've seen complain much about this were converted VB devs, who mistakenly thought it was shorthand for the godawful VB Variant type, with all of its unintuitive type coercion rules that make JavaScript seem sane.

They really do put you on some massive cocktails - notably large doses of prednisone, which is also a massively effective anti-inflammatory - so I can imagine it would be hard to pick out the causes precisely.

I still don't think I've seen anything better than the old QBasic. Simple IDE, simple syntax, all the batteries included, awesome integrated language documentation. And it's hard to go from 0 to drawing graphics on the scre

The Kindle Fire isn't bad as a purely media-consumption device. I use mine all the time for in-bed reading and TV. Even better, when I picked it up, it was on sale for something like $40, so I would say it was well worth it - althoug

It's especially obvious how broken the Java language improvement process is when you have the natural experiment of Microsoft's C# sitting next to it.

Yeah. Like all those compilers and runtimes for the back-end languages we were already using before JavaScript ate everyone's brains, that served as the inspiration for all of this madness on the front-end side.

The price point of an average game that is sold tends to be about an order of magnitude higher on PC than on iPhone ($9.99 vs $0.99). PC gamers haven't been sold on the race to the bottom quite as much yet - there's more disdain

The standup meeting can burn in hell. It's a lovely bit of useless micromanagement. Consider: If you're organized at all, there should be notifications going out when anyone on your team commits code, or comments on tickets, or

Unlikely, particularly since the weed that is grown for officially-sanctioned scientific purposes is so terrible that it bears almost no relation to the street or medical product https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archi

Have they fixed it yet so that it will either charge in both orientations, or at least not clip on when it is backwards? My Surface RT had the same kind of connector I've seen in the pictures for this new one, and it sucked, because h

On the other hand, we're stuck with the dubs who were lucky enough to be born in this country, and there's more than enough of them already. We don't need to import more low-functioning people, rather the opposite. It's

It happens. Interviewed somebody for my company and asked them to write a little bit of code that would print a Fibonacci sequence, one of the other old chestnuts. It didn't go well, and neither did his employment when my boss hired

It's just a bozo bit check to filter out the bullshitters and the severely incompetent. Doubtless there are better ways to do so, but it's such a pervasive trope among anybody who's paid attention to software engineering cul

If you're a stereotypically ethnic Polish person (just guessing from the username) no one is going to even look cross-eyed at you if you can speak English at all. The 21 year drinking age is still idiotic and actively harmful.
