I hate to disagree since you support me, but thats not true. The agile manifesto has plenty of problems that should be obvious with some thinking. Some of the statements are outright ludicrous and naive as much as others are valuable insigh

I'd prefer to say "misinterpret" than pretend to follow... but even so, following it as presented to its totality is still going to be sub-par. Some of the points in the Agile manifesto are just arrogant, unjustified statemen

<3 I learned code from QBasic and its help because books were in short supply at the library and there was no internet for me. As much as Xcode or VS or Qt creator are great tools they seriously lack in that regard, as do most modern dev

Unsurprising. Being vague and mysterious is the hallmark of bullshit. The fact that some people believe it is more a testament to their naivete than anything else. I pity them... :(

As much as I completely support freedom of information there is a problem with not respecting the law that seems to be growing... I might disagree with the law. I might break it intentionally, but I do my due diligence and do it knowingly.

the criticism here is imo unfounded. MS are exceptionally supportive of developers in my experience, and this feels like part of that. since blocking access to the store is in fact an enterprise requirement... why not restrict it to the ent

its funny how all of the best programmers i know have quite a lot of disdain for the idea that Google or Facebook are good at engineering... their public facing code is good evidence of it too. HHVM is full of rank amatuer crappiness, as we

i think the more important question, at least where i am, is if seeking the services is a crime... because it is here, even if prostitution is not. seems a tad unfair to penalise someone who can be viewed as being exploited and a victim on

buzzword filled click-bait. :/ just use your brain. agile is only a problem when people follow it religiously instead of intelligently imo. its just one tool in the box, not the ultimate methodology.

i love stories like this. kudos to the author for taking it all the way to the finish line.

there is no standard in theory... but in practice one exists. its a subtle difference some devs will pull out when they want to boost their egos by talking about things that sound smart, but they don't realise it requires that special

thats not true if you inspect the details of the specific ABI and cheat a little or use some inline assembler... but cl is easily the worst compiler for a C++ ABI. they break it on tiny incremental updates sometimes... at least historically

you mean objective-c++? c++ has no idea about obj-c... another thing most people forget is that the entire programming community rejected obj-c as deficient in its very early days... it only persists thanks to the ego of former nextstep emp

sorry, but mediocre at best, full of mistakes at worst. i'm sure it was a good exercise in learning objective-c but this is not an amazing achievement. i'd expect much better from someone competent reading the god awful docs and r

i'm a drop out so i may be biased, but my experience of software developers with doctorates is that they are very consistently not as good as self taught juniors in the workplace. this makes sense.. a doctorate is a research effort wit

lols. as if replacing objective-c with clean c or c++ wasn't a valid performance strategy (p.s. it is. i've made real world applications hit framerate that way because a ton of objc_msgSend is more expensive than nothing every sin

it was a trick question if you will, the correct answer is /always measure it and don't pretend to understand hardware that well/ this never goes out of date, and is always the best approach imo.

i feel really sorry for these people. the idea that law enforcement and service providers are using ip based location for anything serious is absolutely incredible. the location from ip address is a fallback for when you don't have any

when did division become expensive again? i'm also not sure how this adds anything to being able to stick timers in code. it affords me the same kind of analysis without relying on architectural details... maybe i am just missing some

in my experience, people hate it because it is used so often in places where it is inappropriate. a lot of the analysis here is authoritative but off the mark as well... that e is the most readable letter when blurred to me, and its the pro

i think that this is a gimmick rather than a reason. languages that have their own tools built with themselves are cool... but it has zero practical value imo. the number of C/C++ programmers interested in Go and capable of contributin
