I, too, think Rust is going to be revolutionary in the video game industry. Were I a game programmer I would start learning now. In two years at least 51% of all new video game code will be in Rust.

It's either to be able to sue a rival in the event it scoops their features or to exercise power over their serfs.

The GP wants to limit the betas to what I will refer to as actual developers, measured by those who have submitted an app, so you both want it to be more restricted than it is.

Well, or it could be that the people that don't get responses are louder so we think they are lax and you are lucky. Xcode still sucks, despite all our bug reports, though, so I am inclined to believe they ignore most requests. (Were y

Slipping in an extra paper is not the same at all; you are adding terms to the contract that the signer could not possibly have seen. By changing the small print you are being sneaky, but they had a chance to fully examine what they were ag

Do they still send cards in the mail? It would be interesting to see if something they sent as an unrelated advertisement would be covered by your contract if you can prove they received the contract and the card was mailed after. This coul

I signed up because of their Clojure articles. I clicked the little stealth bomber and they let me use it without signing in through Twitter, Facebook, or Google. They are doing a good job, but not a great job. I find interesting articles,

It's like Catch-22 but horrific instead of funny.

Planck length and time are curious; but incompleteness is a mathematical construct, so it's true for all universes, simulated or not.

The original assumption that the joke is sexist relies on presuming that the joke makes women into objects used only for sex, but not vice-versa for men. So by claiming that the joke is sexist I think we can reasonably assume the person mak

Yes. Why just yesterday I read that male time travellers are pigs for abusing their information advantage to start relationships with women. That's sexist and also no woman would ever do anything like that even if she were allowed to t

I mean text that approaches natural language if not natural language. I think something like Inform 7 is far more likely to be adopted by that audience than a visual graph that is just an abstraction of loops and functions. I think the bene

I always use a single exit point in my functions and also a goto to get there from the middle.

Visual programming is not going to solve this unless the visualisation matches their domain-specific notation instead of a visual graph that has separate edges for "then" and "else". At that point, why bother with the vi

by krichman 13y ago
And visual programming solves this how? People will have to learn how to connect arcane bricks instead of writing arcane text. Programming isn't going to be democratised until we approach natural language interpreters.

I don't think what he did is ethical and I would be happy to see him jailed for an actual crime. But talking to a webserver isn't like entering a house. It's like making a phone call. "Hi.. my name is Firef--, I mean, Mo

Ugh, I hate these. Instead of disabling it at the OS level, where they should do it; they create a "let's give unethical companies another bit of information" option.

This is absurd. If there's no access controls, but it's still a crime, we're going to have to determine if we can legally access all web addresses beforehand. But that's what 403 status codes are for.

On the contrary, if I see someone writing in Clojure or Scala it is a good indicator that they can be taken seriously.

It's like how more Americans are killed by police than by terrorists, but we "need" PRISM and more SWAT teams instead of better police training. Children are in far more danger of living in a nanny state than having their liv

If the USA was really interested in saving the most lives possible, it would use War on Terror funds to do cancer research instead. Instead, it likes having the excuse to issue legislation such as the Patriot Act.

The only way to be sure is to conduct an experiment such as an A/B test.

Microsoft does have incredible R&D. If they did some serious culling of whatever bureaucratic cancer has infected the company, they could probably make some compelling B2C products. I bet their B2B products will sustain them for a while

The problem is that half the population is below average in terms of mental ability and education. A bigger problem: the state's attorneys and judges should know about the Bill of Rights, and they are the ones with the actual power her

Yes, and I wash my hands also. But consider that you don't often shake penises as a greeting. I presume the GP's theory to be that a penis doesn't need to be washed regularly because it seldom contacts foreign bacteria.

It may not be broken but it definitely has been co-opted.
