   I've run into this same issue when developing a DSL for generating language bindings and doing data serialization. Not having compile-time type safety is such a pain. So I'm extending the language to feature statically typed strin

   Oh I'm not upset about it. El Reg has always been a touch hyperbolic for the entire 20 odd years I've been reading it. Stay spicy my friends. :)

    At least that part of California. It's a gigantic state and some areas see fairly significant seasonal rain. This storm, however, will impact a region that includes the Mojave Desert - the dryest place in North America.

    This strikes me as the most important point: “The only thing consistent about Agile is that everyone is doing it wrong.”—fwio If nobody can do it right then it doesn't matter if the methodology produces utopia when applied correctly; n

    There's a ton of survivorship bias here too. Older houses that we're familiar with were well built, which is why there's still here. Plenty of poorly built ones are no longer around.

    This is great. I often come across some HN post on a topic I am interested in and then want to go look at other posts in the same topic cluster to expand my exposure. This looks awesome for that. I don't know if it would be useful or e

    AFAICT Reader was a casualty of Vic Gundotra consolidating and growing his empire within Google as king of all things social. Only two good things came out of the Google+ era: consolidated login across all Google apps, and Photos.
