How about better testing and path coverage of your code? I hope that was also explored as a way to stabilize your codebase? Otherwise your suggestion does come offa bit as 'cowboy-ish' to say the least ...

If you are ever looking for an experienced programmer as a partner, I would definitelty see myself embracing such a philosophy.

Here is an alternative view to these corporate 'studies': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM Or simply watch pictures taken in the 1920-60's, it's pretty shocking how most north americans were m

The Raspberry Pi is the equivalent of a hot glue gun (or duct tape) for the DIY/Makers. It's cheap, reliable and easy to use on any project. Even more so than Arduino (subjectively though)

Last time I tested PTVS, running any simple script was 100x slower than running it within Wing IDE (professional) which I was I used 99% of the time. This pretty much killed the idea of using Python in VS, unfortunately (for me anyways).

I wonder if it is possible to pass an actual law which would render digital 'contracts' illegal. So all lawyers become coders/analysts? I find the idea interesting, but in reality this is never going to go further than an aca

So the NSA`s 'surveillance' activities can now look like a benevolent mary poppins feel good internet provider? Don't get me wrong, I would have loved to have worked on such a project ... just not for FB ... sorry, not a fan.

I am baffled how he can even compare the military raids done in Iraq to the experience he mentions. Of course I'm not saying it`s not a harrowing experience, but it didn't end up with him dead, or worse yet jailed in some obscure

Be that as it may, the tone of the article is clearly written 'looking down' at the readers, and tries to rack up some points by showing 'how smart I am (author) to be able to correct most of you...'. If he simply descri

I like the fact that interpreting subjectively what 'Dynamic' and 'Static' means for a language, the author is able to pull a rabbit out of his proverbial hat ... except that we see the hole beneath the hat, and the rabb

Following this line of thought, some could also argue that it is then 'micro-sexual-harassement'? There`s always a way to twist a minor issue into a positive, or negative spin ... which one will we feed?

Wow, how times have changed. Not even a few decades ago seeing a woman (let alone an African American one) in a university as a student of cutting edge technology, would have been impossible. Shouldn't we also think of the progress tha

I don't think there is any 'special ray-tracing hardware' they are simply leveraging the existing GPU with some algorithms and be able to to have faster, better looking shadows compared to the usual algos. Someone correct me

EMACs also does this with a VM made from a DSL written in LISP. Of course, I never use either VIM or EMACS ... I am mostly in VS land 99% of my time. I can't even try to imagine what THAT code most look like.

Yeah and even then you'd still have the case where the form was filled, but it was either falsified or was coerced from one party ... it never ends once you go down that road ... Kinda like Police 'confessions' signed by coer

Ah yes, the good ol' printf-debug-polluting-codebase method. What's fun after that, is when programmers all start competing to have their printf's be more visible in the sea of prints ... I find this method primitive at best.

How is it counterproductive exactly? The setup of the debugger itself? Or trying to figure out how it works?
