You should always understand the programming language your platform of choice is built upon. That means Java if you are going to use the JVM in some way, just like it means C if you are going to develop native applications on Windows or Li

Using two spaces after the end of a sentence allows software to recognize sentences without doubt. There are no heuristics involved which would always be on the verge of failing. That allows me to issue commands which works on sentences m

If you don't use any of these keyword, then please do not present yourself as a C++ programmer at all. Some are quite infrequent - I've never used "auto", "register" - but I can't think about any serious C++ OOP code lacking "explicit".

Well, the pun was not about the => operator, but about Ruby becoming "less parseable". As they say: "Only perl can parse Perl" ;-) So => is the "hashrocket" operator? I can't find any reference to this name besides this: http://w

Only ruby will be able to parse Ruby ;-) Ruby is just showing its Perl roots.

You shouldn't. The command-line is the less powerful tool you can use to interact with the system. Learn a powerful scripting language, instead (Python, Lua, ecc.). Oh, and since for basic tasks you will be using the command-line anyway, i
