Well, if not an IDE they might have running Photoshop in the background. Or some other resource hungry software.

There are special cases where this won't work. For example I'm working on audio processing software and I can't test it in a VM because audio latency in a VM is too big whereas an older and slower computer might have slow disk access, etc.

Also watch out for that SSD sitting in your machine making file access "free". :)

I've always developed software on not high end machines. (Or tested on old devices ... was still using an original iPhone when the 3gs was around). I guess some webdevs don't do this - at least I have to assume they have some maxed out mons

Well, if it's interesting I have no problem with sitting down and read something for 20 minutes. A tl;dr is nice to get an overview if it could be potentially of interest to me. I have no real desire to end up reading some SEO/internet mark

Oh, that's really neat. I can see myself using this. I hope it gets more popular :)

I'm an self taught programmer from Germany and since leaving school I have been working as a free lancer. Some time ago I decided that doing the free lance is a little to stressful for me (you know, customer acquisition, taxes, business ove

Sure, but if you're hired to write HTML code then I guess you won't be using tools like this. You know how to work around browser perks. But Joe who just wants a website made probably doesn't - and he doesn't care.

So they use tables. Big deal. I don't get that CSS snobbery. Tables do work on even older browsers. That's something you want for a tool that generates code for people who don't want/can't put up with writing HTML themselves. For them the p

I won't judge This* without knowing the whole story. From experience I know that customers can get really retarded PITAs and waste all your time with nonsense.

> not defining bloated operators Can you guarantee that for every 3rd party lib you use?

by leon_ 15y ago
Actually these are only convenience methods. For example to get a class name you can either use [object className]. Or you can use object_getClassName()/directly access "anObject->class_pointer->name" without dispatching any message

In an environment where every byte and cycle counts I'd be using C. C++ has too much stuff going on behind the scenes. (Like hidden object copies, potentially bloated operators, etc.). If you can live with enabled exception handling (which

Yeah, I'm building my subset of C++B right now. Much of the new stuff is either too complex or you will use it too rarely to make use without looking it up.

strip the signature then? (os x devtools include a command line tool that can do that)

your code comments are mostly unnecessary. a 'label.text = "my text";' is pretty much self explanatory and doesn't need a comment that you assign 'my text' to a label.

Talking to JS programmers about memory management is like talking to VisualBasic programmers about data alignment. Won't lead anywhere. Fixing leaking websites should be done by the JS vm as webdevs are usually pretty non technical and have
