I'm pretty sure E-40 scored so high because of all the made up words. He's highly regarded for being innovative and influential but you know for every piece of slang that stuck there's like ten that didn't.

I beg your pardon, Separation of concerns is a fundamental principle of good engineering practice and that seems to be what the debate is about. I gave a couple examples in my comment, not just a vague dismissal (and it's not like SoC

"Programming against an abstraction of a reliable machine" is just plain old separation of concerns. This is good engineering practice. You don't worry about low level failures in high level code, and you shouldn't intro

Mono has gained serious traction the last few years. I've personally been using it along side .Net and am loving it. You could develop in Windows with the Free/Express versions of Visual Studio etc. and deploy binaries to Linux. Y

Please at least learn what Mono is before spouting this tripe. http://mono-project.com/What_is_Mono (hint: search for the word "subset" on that page)

considering the first offset is much, much larger than the file you started with. the offset to the offset is just going to increase in size with each iteration.

by gfody 13y ago
It's not a good compression algorithm because the offset into pi will require more digits to represent than the data you are trying to compress in the first place. Quite a lot more considering the law of big numbers. So ultimately this

He obviously meant the indefinite, generic and epicene, non-referring anaphor "their" and not the definite, plural, referring pronoun "their".

If you're having non-technical product managers owning technical products you're asking for trouble. Since when did any non-technical product person become the domain master go-to-guy for any technical product? I have seen product

Git compiles from source in portage on gentoo-prefix on interix using msvc. I don't know about from visual studio though I don't see any reason it wouldn't work.

Git doesn't transplant from the UNIX ecosystem very well. It's why the only options for Git in Windows so far have been as part of a UNIX interop solution like msys, cygwin, interix, etc. It will be really nice to see a proper Git client fo
