I saw similar things happen with male employees. A spouse of a manager/founder (well, anyone really) having power without any official position is a disaster waiting to happen. The situation I experienced was with an all-male team. The

She was responsible for organizing the pretty awesome "Passion Talks" series at Github. So she was definitely more famous than the average developer working at Github. She did not invent Map/Reduce, but we are talking about G

If nothing major has changed, I'd rather use the nice API DirectX offers than the general weirdness that is OpenGL. Any project that makes DirectX (as an interface) available for all platforms is great news in my book.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic about the `defineMethod`-style. IMHO the author overvalues the class/inheritance part of OOP and discards the considerable risks posed by using it. For example in the case of the self-binding he misuses inh

No, that will only allow to subclass "Object", not "Class". Also with ES6 you have to define the prototype all in once and you can't call `defineMethod` for each one, the ES6 sugar is more like just using `MyClass.p

It's not about the price, it's about the timing. I don't like going to a cinema that much but I like discussing recent movies with friends (that live half a world away from me). I would pay the full cinema price (or at least

There's always the convenience in having something that is freely advertised. So just "official, legal and safe" is a value. And if the existence (and success) of iTunes, Spotify, Steam, and others are any proof, those values

The "i" seems to be positioned weirdly (not a font expert). What I mean is that "int", "unsigned" and "Wizard" all look like the "i" is shifted slightly to the left.

"Free" as opposed to "paid" refers to one specific resource (money) being paid by the user to the developer. So yes, they are free in that regard. Otherwise you could start to argue that loading screens make an app non-f

I don't think anybody was saying that games should be free or that iAPs are about to be illegal. But labeling something "free" that isn't really "free" is misleading customers. Games shouldn't be free sinc

They are very really things and relatively well understood. By calling them "buzzwords" that were just randomly "thrown in" you don't really make a good case for your understanding of usability.

I would say that at least the German government has a better track record in consumer/privacy protection. Far from perfect obviously, but better.

It was one of the first things I tried and it immediately disturbed the normal flow. Markdown normally allows for a "one line per sentence"-style. If you are used to that, the current behavior quickly becomes annoying.

Yes, see the debunk links in here. Those models normally all have ranges. Since he's in expert, it's a reasonable assumption that he either intentionally choose a graph without errors or he intentionally removed the error bars. Do

There's a language where `{} + {}` does something useful? Or is the complaint that it should `TypeError`?

I didn't say loose/dynamic typing would not put the burden on the programmer to ensure the types. And it definitely has it's problems. I just don't think that this is specific to streams, it's true for every kind of

The default build-in streams found in the stdlib are byte streams (byte chunk streams, to be more exact). But user-level there are object streams as well, those are also mentioned in the docs: http://nodejs.org/api/stre

Streams are being used in node.js already with a lot of success. Both basic byte chunk streams and object streams. As long as components are well behaved and only emit uniform data (everything they emit is of the same type), it's not b

Kids are capable of closing windows. Yes, they might see something gruesome and have nightmares because of it. But they learn and close the window quicker next time.

Can you elaborate what you mean by "= vs. =="? Since you mention Pascal I'm guessing that you'd say ":=" and "=" would be better, but since the general model of math is different from procedural code,

In this case it was combined with admitting some of its trade-offs. It's okay to have preferences and even a favorite language as long as one doesn't treat it as a flawless gift of the gods that can solve every problem without eve

To be fair they also listed the Soviet Union as a nation. "Nation" is an ambiguous concept (or we just lack a proper term for multi-national alliances that transcend "normal" international cooperation and become meta-nat
