I'd wager, by cloning another successful OS. Also, all Microsoft engineers didn't work exclusively on the kernel.

The case against exceptions is unfair to Java, whose model is CHECKED exceptions. Of course, people hate them, but they are semantically equivalent to the new proposed solution, which is itself much better than current error handling in Go,

Complete bullshit. Generics have 0 relationship or co-dependency of any kind with the abstraction slash design patterns you mention. These are entirely possible without generics, and generics does not in any way encourage them.

Now? Anyone's willing to spend ad $ has been able to do this for ages. It's basic A/B testing. It's impossible to prevent.

Do you have any evidence for any of this, or did you just pick the most uncharitable possible scenario and present it as factual?

> I cannot imagine a BMW exec ever sacrificing unit completeness in the name of productivity. You're very naive and haven't read the news in the past few years, it seems. PS: Referring to the emission scandal.

There doesn't seem to be a youtuber by that name - unless he deleted his account or his videos.

No that's not the thing about it. The thing is you put the cardboard over the book then show it to the other person. The other person won't know where Waldo is, because the cardboard is much bigger than the book, so Waldo could be

How to get tech support from Google: get a lot of upvotes on HN. Sad.

It's refreshing to see a positive (but nuanced) take for once.

But then you don't understand your new browser. Also, as new features arrive in the original browser, you fall behind. You can't even hope to review the new changes, you can either merge them blindly or fall behind.

From experience, this works. But once you're done, consider whether or not you should publish the tutorial. At a minimum, have it reviewed by people that are in the known, and will give you honest feedback (insist on that).

Unless these myriad of dialog options lead somewhere meaningful, it's not much different from Mass Effect or the even older Knights of the Old Republic and other precursors.

Skyrim is merely a FPS with swords. It has dialogues, but so does this game (and apparently a lot of them).

In Belgium political parties are funded by the government, and companies may not fund them. I'm sure it is the same in many other European countries.

Yikes. How untasteful. Nothing official yet but they're hurrying up writing some completely bullshit post to let people know that Github is being acquired by "M$" and hopefully migrate to them. The last paragraph says it all,

To me, it's a bit like the question "Who's to say we wont find a way to travel faster than the speed of light?", by which I mean that in theory, many things are possible, but in practice, you need evidence to consider th

Bleh, no it isn't. I am 100% in agreement with the author on the thesis: deep learning is overhyped and people project too much. But the content of the post is in itself not enough to advocate for this position. It is guilty of the sam

This doesn't look like Magic: The Gathering at all. More like a board game that uses cards.

LINQ is a DSL that is baked into the language, you couldn't have defined it yourself. And that is my point.

Rule 1 of metaprogramming: don't use it when something else will do (almost) as well. Still, I think there is a need. Take declarative DSLs for instance. The problem with how that's done in all languages right now is that these DS

I think it's very strange that it isn't actively developed anymore. It had some really gushing reviews. What's keeping people from taking over the implementation?

The output of Tex is superior to anything else. I doesn't change the fact that the user experience is awful. But if you want Tex quality with less head-bashing, Context is much better than Latex. It's what I use for my thesis, but
