These companies became household names during a period of incredible economic growth in Japan (60s - 80's). But economic growth at that level is not sustainable (as China is finding out), and the country went into a recession in the 90

In practice, it's not the same thing. Here's a Java example where I want the type system to enforce that a method in `ClassB` can only be called from `ClassA`. However, the fact that `null` circumvents the type system makes this

Visual studio magazine? Yeah, I'm sure this will be a completely unbiased article. Sort of like how Nintendo Power is (was? does that magazine still exist? Fuck I feel old) completely unbiased.

My highest priority is writing code that is maintainable, so I strive for modularity, appropriate abstractions, and comprehensive tests.

Nice writeup. I did a mandelbrot viewer in javascript like 5 years ago. In fact, it was the only thing I ever wrote in Javascript besides dom manipulation crap. I wanted to try the canvas tag when it was first introduced, and this was the f

I think a better analogy with OO languages would be a Function object for which you've provided one of the arguments in its constructor. Inheritance is more similar to monad transformers.

That depends on who you ask. I've met people that hold firmly to the belief that humans are not animals. Explanation? God created Adam in his own image, so humans are somehow special and better than animals. We need to prevent these pe

Richard III is an English play, set in England with English characters. It's performed all over the world by local actors in the local language. I don't hear anyone crying foul or claiming that Shakespeare is being blackwashed. Th

I don't see how this is whitewashing. There is nothing inherently Japanese about Kusanagi or the narrative of the movie. The same story could have been set in NYC, London, etc.

Needing an alarm clock to wake up is a sign that you don't get enough sleep. You should sleep until you naturally wake up.

80 columns seems like an artificial limit nowadays, but it really helps when looking at multiple files or doing side by side diffs. Unfortunately, I have worked with Java code where there were type signatures longer than 80 characters. Th

I have a System76 Gazelle and a 2015 Macbook Pro. In my opinion, the System76 is superior as a development machine. It's faster than the mbp, cost literally half as much, and has a better OS (imho). However, I must admit that I wish th

Most people who write software are not children. I certainly hold my doctor, accountant, mechanic, etc to a higher standard. Why should we expect software developers to be no better than children?
