Just to humor my curiosity: According to the Wikipedia article, the NES sold 62 million units worldwide in total.

What is the connection between swimming and heat? How did they even arrive at this hypothesis? Why would rats need to catch up on heating their brains, days after missing REM sleep? The facts are interesting, the conclusion doesn't mak

90% would be fine. The problem is that it's 100%.

I lost most of my twenties to anxiety and depression. Started therapy at 29, finished university with only a Bachelor's degree at 31. The worst aspect was that through all this time my mind was always telling me that, yes, I have some

What about debugging? Looks like it's Linux-only.

I really, really, really don't understand what it is that you're saying here. Slow compile times make better programmers? And you base that on one anecdote? And somehow your example coworker would transform into a sensible program

A better way would be to schedule regular 1-on-1 meetings. You're not going to find out if somebody is happy by "casually being around".

Did you see the last paragraph? > Don’t neglect your family and friends for the sake of productivity—that’s a very stupid tradeoff (and very likely a net productivity loss, because you’ll be less happy). Don’t neglect doing things you

Actually I believe abstraction is a tool with the express purpose of limiting the amount of stuff you have to keep in your head. Abstraction lets you omit the nasty details, so you can work with a representation of the problem space that be

Does this promo piece add anything to the original blog post that it feeds on? I didn't notice anything. Why not link the blog instead? http://prog21.dadgum.com/177.html

The question is not whether or not they can learn, but whether or not they did.

I think in this instance it's also a matter of tools. Visual Studio/Visual Assist would have been able to find the class definition, and that's where the comment would go. For cscope it's a matter of configuration, which

I disagree that you shouldn't do it. The way you do it is to add a comment // This %thing% was generated from %template% using data from %data%. If your language is too restrictive to add sensible tools, you should write th

"Now, in order to understand the composition, you need to trace the thread through the entire system" I don't think that's necessarily true. It depends on the implementation. In an actor based system, the syntax might no

I don't think this article is very good. The main achievement of message passing is to decouple call stacks, and the reason why you do that is that you get more control about which threads a function is called from. You turn to message

Here's Casey Muratori on saying "reinvent the wheel". This is in the context of game development, but it sure applies to build systems for C/C++. https://youtu.be/fQeqsn7JJWA?t=140

The biggest problem I see with the article is that you didn't say exactly what you're doing with this build system. And this gets people's imagination going. What is the scope? Is this an open source project? How many people

Yeah, about that last sentence. Are you actually a contributor to an existing build system? CMake? Make? Bazel? Anything?

It's an interesting perspective, but seems a bit out of place here. I would think it would have been more fitting as a reply to the thread from yesterday (which is still on page 2 ATM).

There is none. Performance doesn't matter at all. It's weird.
