So you are implying that it is acceptable to have a camera crew filming people while they are dying? Well, that's being too literate, but anyway, if it was a documentary film - I would have no problem with that. The author however quite cle

While it appears clever it is in fact inhumane. While people suffer and die during these days and every spare pair of hands is in need, you'll be making a movie out of it to entertain masses and make a buck.

My thoughts were exactly the same. In mere 8 hours yesterday they went up by more than $100k. Is there any sorts of stats on Kickstarter to see which sizes of pledges were contributed during a given period of time? Seems a little dodgy to m

I would expect to hear something like that not from a respected tehnologist but rather from yet another "cool kid". He could just say "JavaScript is awesome" on a single slide and that wouldn't tell much less than what the whole presentatio

The worst thing is that they already have the runtime that is language-agnostic, performant, has a great standard library and so on. When they tried making it available on the Web, the so-called "open stadards" won. Which are in fact a bag

Now I want to take an advantage of strict typing at runtime, which is obviously not possible, because instead of standardizing a VM all vendors are doing stupid things like this.

As clarified by others, I missed the reference to the album because I never really listened to Van Halen and I apologise for my harshness. But we are on the same boat. P.S. I need to listen to 5150 now!

Please stop using this bs terminology, rockstars, ninjas and all that sort of crap. With all respect to Ryan he is just one of many great programmers.

The whole idea of modern systems languages like Rust or D is actually to avoid the need of using Python, Ruby etc. The language covers all your needs in a nice coherent package from top to bottom.

A lot of bashing of MongoDB lately is a sign to give a technology at least a try.

Second every word here. The version in the Ubuntu's repositories is not the latest(which is 2.2) and they can't be more explicit about it than pointing it out on the download page and giving a message upon the database startup.

"Two years later however, D was still stuck in 2007. This was in part due to the infighting between the standard library camps who had failed to learn from the mistakes of the Java class library and were busily adding bloat and verbosity to

Thanks for correction. I am not a native English speaker and in Russian(my native language) the word Encapsulation starts with Cyrillic "и" to which the closest analogue in Latin is "i" - hence the confusion!
443.
by kombine 14y ago
Well, incapsulating algorithms is great. But incapsulating of the data is not always. Languages like Haskell completely go away without it.
444.
by kombine 14y ago
Incapsulation is a very questionable concept as well. However what C++ does provide is the generic programming: in C you will have to copy and paste implementation of List for every data structure as well as the algorithms. As suggested in

I find it hard to believe, because even that it runs native code, there is a small penalty of a sandbox environment and it certainly cannot be faster than pure native code.

I am hoping Qt will regain its status of a cross-platform toolkit of choice. Back in time it provided the solution for fragmented Desktop development. With Digia's involvement now it can solve the same problem but in mobile space. But even

I don't agree as well. For loop is engrained in our brains so deeply that I think next generation of programmers should not be taught it. It took me quite some time to stop using it, even though I write C++ and it is a lot more difficult to

There is a noticeable lag between a keypress and the snake turning. Makes it very unpleasant to play.

Types certainly don't.

"C++ is a powerful language, but with awful syntax and semantics that can discourage experimentation." Then you should try out D. Bartosz Milewski in fact has been involved in D development for a long time. It certainly makes it easier to a
