Sounds like a great idea for a new paradigm... I'll call it "pain-oriented programming". As you can imagine, the goal of this paradigm is to induce as much pain in the programmer as possible. The reason is that, as all snobby programmers kn

To their credit, they pushed a fix the very next day. I would call that very minimal collateral damage. Google took responsibility in a timely manner for a non-critical bug.

But don't be discouraged, git really is simple. It's dead simple. The command line syntax is super annoying, i'll give you that, but the underlying tech is a collection of simple concepts that meld into a complex powerful tool. Frankly sp

Apache Pig is a much different beast than this project, from what I can tell reading the documentation for Pangool. While they both operate on tuples and work at a higher level than pure Hadoop, they accomplish their goals much differently.

I agree with your sentiments. What Homokov did was childish, but he made his point in a non-malicious way that got the message out better than silently writing a letter to the admins. It is evident from the events that occurred that this is

Although the author is unhappy, I'm inclined to agree here. The central question is, is Apple doing anything anti-competitive? The answer is no, since Apple isn't preventing anyone from being Amazon's books. Apple wants people to remain in

No worries. After reading it again I see the first half of my comment could be taken the wrong way.

I don't know why you think I'm defending OOP. I'm not. My original point was that copy-pasting is not an argument against any programming paradigms. The possibility of programmer error is not a valid argument against using a programming l

It's only the mindset of a cult when the theory in question is not demonstrated to work or is not predicated on reason. Suppose I wrote a catapult simulator to test the validity of designs for a competition, and then my simulator ignored ph

They might have still made the mistake of not separating them, or of copy-pasting the damage object into the camera anyway, so the point and punchline of the story still stands. The possibility that a programmer could make a mistake in th
