I always strongly discourage the use of things like this construct in any language. A language is meant to be read not just written. A non-expert python programmer who encounters this will be confused.

Coding interview practice is absolutely key. I recently began interviewing for the first time with a number of companies (I'm about to graduate). I noticed that over the course of a month and 3 interviews with 3 separate companies my i

I think the primary point is that Messi scores goals from that position an extremely high (12%) proportion of times.

The US has a lower population density than those European countries, more natural resource is divided between fewer people. That is the primary reason for the higher GDP per capita.

I don't disagree with you. I'm not suggesting that Go designers made the wrong decision with the goals they had. I am jealous that it's less useful to me though.

Say I had an array of masses and their velocities and I wanted to calculate the kinetic energy of each mass using the equation: E = 1/2 mv^2 With operator overloading: E = 0.5 * (m * v)**2 Without: E = (m.mult(v

It's not a "requirement" in the strict sense of the word, but I think it's useful enough to prevent the use of Go in science. Java has essentially suffered the same fate in science.

As a scientific programmer I find it a shame that they have decided not to go with operator overloading. The rationale from the FAQ is that it "seems more a convenience than an absolute requirement". In the case of scientific soft

The drop in performance isn't just while learning. I worked somewhere where I had to regularly use TCL, Java, PHP, C++ and Python - each was the most suitable tool for the job (at the time the tool was written anyway) but the constant

This article is really clutching at straws, the only semi-tangible example of match fixing given is a supremely unimportant friendly between Guatemala and South Africa. It also hints at "targeting" of a match between the footballi

If manual cars were comparatively more expensive then psychology might come into play and people would be reluctant to go for the more-expensive manual option.

Amazingly this can't be accessed from the UK, a bizarre consequence of the license fee: We're sorry but this site is not accessible from the UK as it is part of our international service and is not funded by the licence fee. It is

Small but surprisingly annoying thing about DDG: I have to hit TAB too many times to start cycling through search results, on google one TAB takes me to the first search result, on DDG it's an unintuitive series of links.

#6 is really confusing. Whenever I encounter something like this my first reaction is that whenever possible such obscure components of a language should be avoided and more verbose/clear code used instead. Programming languages are me

The problem with such tools is often their lack of ubiquity. I don't want to start using ack, forget a lot of my grep knowledge, only to ssh into a server and need grep. The benefit of grep's ubiquity outweighs any small advantage

It would be a bit crazy to use incriminating information as your innocuous message after going through all the trouble of using plausible deniability though?
