So, you work at github now ? That explains a lot about the new bits of UI we found here and there everyday. What are you planning to do next ? Can't wait to get there.

Yes, I can see that. And there is also a bunch of interesting patterns to learn from. Please understand that by no mean I want to discredit your work. Rust is a great thing, and will be amazing. However, a random programmer alone in the jun

We are far, far from 100%. You can only take mutability lifetimes if you are alone. That mean for example that you can't insert in a tree without going mad. Yeah, you have to search (non-mut operation), insert (mut operation), and bala

Of course, it's here: https://github.com/yaon/lottery But even if you are familiar with the patterns we used and can guess the architecture, there will be a lot of unexplained code. I don't think you'll

":bdel|q" would do the trick, then. But I understand it's not a very good solution.

Having done a (simple, but non-trivial) memcached implementation in Rust, the pointer semantic is terrible right now. The compiler tracks all the use of the values and assign them lifetimes. These lifetimes are tagged from a special form of

`:bdel` is what you're looking for. ;-)

Hi Guys ! Congrats on the launch ! ;-) Some questions: - what will be your policy about invasive ads ? (basically more than 1/3 of the viewport) - what's the average duration of an animated ad ? Do you have technical boundaries ?

I like your project a lot. But the articles seems harsh to read (I don't really know, I'm projecting myself). Did you think about making short clips ? Maybe making the font nicer, more healthier ? (no serifs, use the color scheme

I work on an embedded device which monitor your body in a way that will prevent people to hurt themselves without being aware of (because they can't feel it). It's not cool at all. All the pain, the damages on the body. Sometimes

Hey ! Bubble sort can be a descent algorithm when you know when and how to use it ! After all, it is the fastest sorting algorithm when your collection is already sorted ! Moreover, it has very nice properties which make it suitable for

It quite easy in fact: before going asynchronous, people should learn datastructures and algorithms adapted to what they want to do. It's wiser to limit the work your CPU has to do rather than hide this work behind high-level non-deter

In the short run, I agree to say that the formation will be very bad and could turn teenagers out of the code with bad experiences, which is a shame. However in the long run, with IT being more and more present, and the global pool of users

You forgot OCaml, our national pride ! Our CS researcher have a large expertise in proofs and static analysis with Coq, Coccinelle and the like.

What ? No, I didn't downvoted you. Your question is legitimate. Time4Popcorn is an opaque repository which cherry-pick code from Popcorn-official without back-contributing. You can also see that the commits use the all-in-one tactic wh

Do NOT download Time4Popcorn. This project is highly suspicious. The official fork is this one: https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-app

What's the big deal with OCaml ? I found it to be a very nice, powerful, and enjoyable language.

This is gold, thanks for the submission. The biggest part is made by the great kriskowal, which gave us Q.js. Warranty of quality, if I may say.

I don't even understand on which base you are comparing Go with Ruby or Python (ok, they are programming languages). Care to explain ? In my point of view, Go is system oriented, concurrency builtin, compiled, lots-of-braces, few synta

Ok, there's mainly negative of mitigated feedback here. Let's go further in the discussion with positive feedback. So, I personally own some kimsufi's, and I run a hosting structure for CS students with another since 4 years.

Yes it's not. I removed Uber in the name, they doesn't deserve this bad publicity. EDIT: the user has been banned. Thank you github !

You know, sometimes there is legitimate usage of the goto. This file is one of them: multiple branches that can end to the same leaf. Another would be break in interlocked loops, or clean failing when the software detect an hard failure and
