That link doesn't provide any explanation why front wheel breaking is superior. Only states that it is superior. Why is it?

How do you measure who is "top professional player"? Is this list COMPLETELY inaccurate? Why? Has it ever been? Which list is better? https://www.highstakesdb.com/poker-players.aspx?sortby=winne...

Yes. You can take ms-dos with Windows 1.1, run it in a VM and build this using the compiler tools included in the package. I've done it and it works. If I remember correctly, there are instructions in some blogs to do this. UPDATE: Thi

That tweet doesn't prove that the change was implemented in 6 days. It could easily have been started way earlier.

I'm sure the site contains a lot of useful data but the presentation is so ugly that it's hard to get motivated to dig in deeper. Compare it to this, for example: https://sourcemaking.com/refactoring/smells

PHE? That was not mentioned in the article. What was mentioned was _phenylalanine_, which is one of the essential amino acids that the human body needs but cannot synthesize itself. We MUST get it from food. It is present in practically all

This is awesome. What does the conversion process do to the executables? Is that part necessary?

Again you said: "Considering zero part of my keyboard is in my field of vision I'd say yes I'd have to _move_ my head up and down." I hope you understand that you move your eyes when you look at different things on your

> Considering zero part of my keyboard is in my field of vision Zero? Is that even possible? When using a laptop, it's impossible to look at the display without being able to also look at the keyboard (and touchbar) by just moving y

I wonder, what might be a suitable set of books to read before TAOCP? Might this one suffice: Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science (Knuth et.al.)

"any technological innovations ... in 80's and 90's" What? Ok, first, do you think they've ever innovated anything? During the 2000's? What exactly? Wasn't Windows NT, for example, innovative? The kernel i

I didn't say it was about money. It most probably isn't "about money". I was asking what is the motivation since there are some obvious costs.

What is it that makes these people hold on to the source code of AmigaOS? It's not lucrative: probably the costs of making these updates are much higher than any possible revenue? It must be economically practically impossible to hire

Let's consider your first example: a method with just one line of code. I'm not sure why you bring that up. There's nothing intrinsically wrong about a method that only has one line of code. That one line of code can, for exa

What do you mean ultra conservative? I can see that the opposite is true: when there are no tests, devs are conservative, ie. they are afraid to change anything. Having at least some tests, they have the possibility to change and refactor m

Even though you personally haven't observed any correlation, wouldn't you think that experienced people can make better judgement calls when designing software? Because of their experience (age), that is. Personally I feel like I&

Microsoft supporting Windows 7 and 8 does not mean implementing support for all future HW. They had HW requirements on launch and Microsoft supports that set of HW.

You would still need redundant connectors that give weight and take volume.

I don't think there's such a problem really. We all try to fit the problems we encounter in designing software into a bunch of knowledge that we know. That bunch might be a set of design patterns. There's nothing wrong with t

by kyberias 10y ago
No, I don't think so. That's not a critique towards design patterns. It's critique towards ANY CODE THAT IS REPEATED. If I use a certain design pattern once in my code, I didn't repeat anything. Macros don't remove

The usage of that Paul Graham quote is hilarious. The author misses the point entirely! Graham uses the word pattern to describe a repeated piece of code that matches a pattern. And it's a sign of trouble: a violation of the DRY princi
