If you look at the author's actual arguments you realize most of them rely on other people. I don't know about others, but I include many more bugs in my code when I write low level code as opposed to high level code. Having to de

Just throwing out an idea, but why not allow the user who posts the article to select whether or not they want to use pending comments? This way one user doing a simple Ask HN can get immediate feedback while another posting a controversial

But the fact that they are programming in an environment where everything is a pointer is hidden to the them. In C++ one needs to explicitly use pointers whereas in Java all of the pointers are handled behind the scenes.

My favorite is a way to prove the sum of angles formula for sine and cosine. cos(x1+x2) + isin(x1+x2) = e^((x1+x2)i) = e^(i*x1) * e^(i*x2) = (cos(x1) + isin(x1)) * (cos(x2) + isin(x2

I'm not entirely sure, but I have been able to figure a few things out. By running some simulations by shuffling the range from 1 to n (with n going from 3 to 7), I found that at least one of the most common permutations had always sta

I'm guessing the best predictor of whether Julia will be the "one language to rule them all", is the difficulty of writing macros in it. If they somehow figured out a way to make writing lisp-like macros in a language with in
