first thing that comes to mind are bounds on integer subtypes. classic example is to declare an array to be indexed with such a type, then all out-of-bounds errors can be checked at compile time.

Blender is an alien in the world of software, but I agree -- it's brilliant. Never stopped using it since I tried it 15 years ago. Took a long time to get productive, but it was definitely a good time investment. It's also very de

there are lots of things like this. it's bizarre that i pay for email when there are good and free email services (and my privacy/security needs are pretty damn simple.) people don't mind paying for things they like , or for

contract work and publishing your own apps are different things. I think most people publishing their own apps do that specifically because they do not want to do contract work. contract work is not a monetization strategy, it's a

for me it works great, a few quirks to configure xcode at first (like with most things in xcode when you need more than a 100% cocoa app), then now the workflow is unobtrusive. debugging also works from xcode, minus coloring of rust code. m

interesting points. the maintainability part is freaking important but i guess you truly realize it only when you got bitten by it several times. some other details i don't necessarily agree with, like buffer sizes if you program for e

The vast majority of article titles beginning with "why I..." (and variation) is clickbait. I still don't get why the HN community still falls for this every day.

It's not the first time Nintendo have been criticized for that, and apparently they don't give a damn and focus on making fun experiences. That works well for them, with a few hiccups. Some other companies (not necessarily related

that's another way to look at furniture. in the old days furniture could be passed down generations, and fashion did not change much. today I gladly accept the drop in quality because it comes with a serious drop in price, and I can ch

for regular bars I don't know, but if you want to score at a club, talking is often a hindrance. a few looks and dancing is usually enough to get started, and the loud music can even be a pretext to go elsewhere.

depending on where you are, taxis can be much, much worse. "no I won't bring you there, it's not on my way" is just one tiny example.

the "calories in, calories out" thing is not wrong at all. not "believing" in it is just like disregarding global warming or evolution. of course it's not a simple addition. age, genetics and a lot of other factors

I don't think indeed.com is representative of the market, many rails jobs aren't even online. Besides, if for 133 rails jobs and 763 PHP jobs there are 60 and 1500 rails and PHP candidates (respectively,) you're clearly bette

there are no buttons. the mac trackpad isn't an emulation of a mouse anymore, you have gestures now. pinch, zoom, etc. you can "click" anywhere on it, just like with a regular trackpad, and you don't need to know much

so, if you are wary of the left, and see them talk about fake news after an election, you assume they are wrong because it aligns with their interests. this is exactly what the OP and the article author are denouncing.

I'm using google less and less, and it's not because of any of this. I find the results just not as relevant as before. The web viewed through google's lens seem to be just about content marketing and outdated stuff.

can you elaborate on this frexit thing? as a french citizen I see no sign of it, except from the usual far-right trolling.

That's what Valve is doing for their games (see their Source engine docs.) However, you don't always send the entire "world", but a delta-encoded version of it (the server keeps a history of the world state and a timesta
