Yup exactly what we use it for. Combined with Jenkins, makes it easy to make sure your master branch is in a good state.

Our team has had a decent compile time improvement by switching to ninja[1] from gmake. [1] https://martine.github.io/ninja/manual.html

If a function receives immutable state, returns immutable state, and does not depend or modify outside mutable state, then that function has no side effects. Mutating state within the function itself will not affect anything outside it and

"[They] break referential equality and equational reasoning" Please explain? Mutations can cause side-effects but don't have to. You seem to think that limiting program behavior _necessarily_ alleviates informal reasoning, bu

To me this is a weird list. It's a bit like removing the personality of a person and then claiming that made the person better. Also a lot of the things he lists are not at all as clearly harmful as he makes them out to be. GOTO: Used

Isomorphic means "same shape". In this case the code running on the client and on the server is the same. Not that terrible of a choice for a word.

I'll give what I consider to be reasons why the language isn't more popular, but it seems most people that use the language don't share these views. Please don't flame me for the excessive rant below and keep in mind the

And out of curiosity, how do you resolve your statements with the fact that you have over 5k karma and over 1k posts on this site alone?

by mden 12y ago
Fyi, there's a mistake in your second solution - consider a strictly increasing list.

This sounds really awesome, but does anyone have an explanation as to why they are doing it? Building something like Google Earth Pro must take many millions of dollars, so why would a company release it for free?
132.
by mden 12y ago
It does not. It just moves what "the problem" is. An example of that is the article itself which leverages the gained information from SO to solve the real problem. Also arcane knowledge is not the same thing as problem solving.

Yup, thanks!

So you are saying we shouldn't prosecute the executive branch even though they clearly broke and sanctioned breaking existing laws. When should we prosecute them? What makes them different from tyrants? Also your example doesn't

In some languages you can hide the extra check: for i in range(1,100):print("Fizz" (i%3==0) + "Buzz" (i%5==0) or i)

That's my understanding as well. The title makes no sense and seems very click-baity. "Our simple projections indicate that muscle contractile speeds that would allow for maximal or near-maximal forces would permit running speeds

This is an aside, but I really liked the presentation of this article. It starts from the right place, builds at the right speed, and relates to the reader in a fun way. The format of statement followed by the same statement but expressed i

What can I say, C++ isn't easy to learn :)

Assembly didn't really click for me until I learned computer architecture :p You can always go one level down, but I would hardly say you need assembly for c or c++.

Go to a code practice site like hackerrank or oj.leetcode (personal favorite but I suggest using an external compiler for it) and solve problems. Start from the simplest ones and make your way up. Once you solve a problem, go back the follo

I agree with what you are saying and you shouldn't be reading messages or w/e when driving, but surely looking away from the road is more dangerous than not? In the very least it takes more time. Again I'm not encouraging the

Hmm. I think I took Yxven's comment out of context which in turn made my comment out of context. I agree that interruptions like reading a text message are dangerous regardless of how they are done. They are obviously more dangerous if

"Cell phones are not dangerous because the driver was looking at his phone or playing with the buttons when he had an accident. They are dangerous because they encourage your mind to wander." So you are claiming that having to loo

A noob question I suppose, but couldn't the salt be generated deterministically from the email and still serve it's purpose?

That's not a tautology. There's a non-circular flow to the reasoning.

Isn't it nice how you can make most things sound evil if you just use the right wording. What you wrote reminds me of cases where law enforcement takes terms like "subversion" used by an engineer and extrapolates evil plots o

Partially off topic, but page layouts like the one you linked to really come off as unnatural to me. Specifically the way the margin for annotations is used in the centering of the main content is distracting. It's like you are giving

Why? I find it absolutely horrendous personally and would avoid any webpage that used it (got to the end of the presentation on my second try as I literally rage quit the first time). Some reasons as to why I severely dislike it: 1) When it
