I wouldn't use it yet for real projects. Even getting the compiler to work can be tricky sometimes. For example, when writing a function with generic argument constraints, I sometimes had to flip the LHS and RHS to get things to compil

Thanks for doing this. It is hard to judge the data, but I just did a quick check for agreeableness, and it seems reasonable. The person rated highest for agreeableness top does in fact seem way more agreeable than the person at the bottom.

The silver searcher is pretty good. but it has a couple of big problems. It does not parse the .gitignore correctly [0], so it frequently searches files that are not committed to your repo. This, combined with the decision to print 10000 ch

That is using map, not implementing map. Implementing map: function map(f, ary) { var ret = []; for(var i = 0; i < ary.length; i+= 1) { ret.push(f(ary[i])); } return ret; } Though that is not

Agree that it is needed. In the meantime, I use M-x eshell in emacs when I have to develop on windows.

To back you up: Backbone and Rails are two examples of popular frameworks that grew out of in-house frameworks. So no, it is not far fetched at all to to think "that a small group of smart developers with business domain knowledge can

I've done the same for the app that I work on, but not because I needed an if-else for the UI code. The biggest problem for me was that every now and then, I'd get a bug that shows up on a device, but not the simulator. If this ha

I know. My point was that the fact that John Carmack was the one who said this suggests that he still finds it useful for himself, even though he is an experienced programmer. That is not conclusive proof, of course, just something to think
135.

Does John Carmack count as experienced? Because he is the guy who made the claim we're talking about.

The author wrote a really short code snippet that demonstrates the problem: function f() { var some = []; while(some.length < 1e6) { some.push(some.length); } function g() { some; } //removing this fix

Then how about choosing a higher threshold than writing software well? How many programmers do you know who are above John Carmack's level, for example?

Seems pretty goofy compared to just using Incanter in the Clojure REPL (or something similar).

I have a suggestion for people who are very pro unit testing for understanding people who do not test as much: try working in areas that are traditionally light on unit testing. For example, graphics, multimedia, and games. People write stu

An alternative that can work, unless you need nested loops, would be to just wrap everything in a do {...} while(false), and then call break.

What he is talking about is the potential of getting these sites' data to third parties without them having to ask for permission. What evidence suggests that this idea is weak?
