   I agree that this is a metric that will hardly matter to anybody IRL. Maybe when it comes to mobile devices (Surface?) and limited battery life, but I'm not sure how relevant that even is (I wouldn't think that surfing the web draws most

   fyi, some ads NSFW. You could argue that would be obvious due to "porn" in the title, but not all articles on porn actually contain nudity or large font "boner" banners

   Looks fun. I assume it's still up to the application devs as to how they handle those annotations then (say on a build server or when the docs are generated)? Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't appear to be any direct effect of usi

   The doc could only display implemented interfaces that it knows about, so when you generate the docs they show which interfaces a type implements from within that particular library (and it's dependencies, since go takes it all as source

   this was immediately distracting to me and annoyed me very fast. Maybe it's because I'm reading on a mobile device and "x mins remaining" took up ~1/4 of my screen every time I scrolled. What value exactly does it add? It's likely to be wro

    Also, using disruptor (efficiently) forces a certain threading model onto your app (at least downstream of the ring).

    Exactly, AI in games solves a different problem than "traditional" AI. It's merely about creating the illusion of intelligence. Not unlike what happens in rigid body dynamics (approximated, not actual physics sim), graphics (plenty of trick

    Wow, that "auto-aligning" of the (supposed) current slide to my screen is incredibly annoying.

    a bit off-topic: Golang has a similar feature built into it's type system [1] "The size of an array is part of its type. The types [10]int and [20]int are distinct." [1] http://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#arrays

    I believe hsmyers was jokingly trying to say that it would suck if everybody ("riff-raff") started using that template going forward, rendering it "normal", hence not special anymore.

    I'm mostly familiar with Autofac, and there are many other ways to wire your app other than by type * by interface * by enum * by parametrized constructor (Func<..>) * by (arbitrary) string * per process / per thread / per whatnot

    Relevant read: http://www.your-brain-at-work.com/ "Your Brain At Work" points out, among other things, that the brain is capable of doing much less intensive work (as in, concentration) than most people believe it is.

    It does look fun. But the programming done here is very imperative and procedural in nature. Not to say it can't or shouldn't be done. It just doesn't seem like a very good case for using a functional programming language, although the titl

    great idea; I wonder if this might cause some trouble with Amazon, though. Is it ok to "rip" their design? Any web-store interface would have done I suppose. anyhow, he's certainly getting a ton of attention this way.

    I prematurely up-voted for the warning; but regretted it when I noticed the completely unnecessary Carmen Ortiz part.
