The main thing to realize is that it can be a long process but it WILL pass. To be honest, I'm not sure when it disappeared from my every day life, but after one of my therapy sessions I looked back at the last six months and realized it ha

While I agree in theory, boxing a null like that can have severe garbage collection implications. If every core function that required a simple two or three state response returned a boxed object then it also adds a requirement for the GC t

I think this is a great article to refresh your knowledge as to how the underlying data structures actually work. My only nitpick is ignoring the capacity variable in initWithCapacity . Really, a simple allocation of memory here and sett

I understand what you're trying to say, but it's hardly the same thing. Getting paid vs being "caged" then killed is a very different argument.

Haha, I saw this a few days on the Herald. It's my only tie back to news in NZ at the moment! The link for that one is: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&obj... But looks like 3 News did cover it first :)

Interesting example. I'm still a newbie to Go, so would that be written as: var i int* var j int My apologies if this seems like a simple question: I haven't played with the language enough to know :) [EDIT: Sorry, I didn't realize

Thanks again, I really appreciate your input! I'm going to have to switch between the two to get a feel for it (and like you say, get used to it). I'm a big fan for language grammars (I enjoy writing them myself) so am looking forward to di

Excellent - thank you for that. I'm not sure I completely agree with their reasoning: the example only really got complicated when dealing with function pointers, however that could be simplified with a macro (or a delegate in other languag

I found this article really interesting, though I would like to see more information on the design decisions for the syntax (i.e. types/return types come after). They did say it was easier to parse from a human and computer perspective, how

I was kind of hoping they'd put some more effort into Sparrow after acquiring it. Even without push support: I still personally prefer that UI. I have noticed a few minor bug fixes it being released so it doesn't seem like it is completely

It doesn't really sound like an auction - more like a raffle. i.e. If 10 people pay $20 but only one wins it... I actually looked at making a site like this for selling my house a couple of years ago. Fortunately I did some analysis before

I didn't realize it was meant to be used for payments. I admittedly have used it for flight boarding passes, coupons and show tickets so far - I thought it was great for that (particular boarding passes as it updates the gate if it changes)

I didn't know about this extension so thank you! If it does Solarized Dark then I'm sold: I'm not a fan when it is too dark, but it's definitely better than the white backgrounds I often see. Next step: move away from the big paragraphs in

Surprisingly, I have the opposite trouble: how do I stop recruiters trying to recruit me? I have about 15-20 recruiters contacting me per week however what I put it down to is: 1. Location. Since I moved to SF the job offers have increased

Yeah, you're right: it appears it is just a skin: https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/faq Perhaps the idea was to get something out there for presence and then create a full rendering engine later? But then again, both Chrome

I think this misses the point. I'm not sure about Windows phone, but iOS has Chrome and Opera already. While they are not default browsers, they still have an offering available for download. I think when he says they can't, I think it is m

Quite disappointing if they manage to enforce the fines; in my opinion it's these services which make transport options around San Francisco bearable! I'm not sure how many times I've called a taxi to come get me and never showing up...

No! I'd rather people don't vote than vote no on something they don't understand... Unless you understand what you're voting for: don't vote. No vote is better than a misinformed one...

I'm old school - when improvising on the guitar I like to be able to read the drum/guitar/bass player etc based on looks, nods and general "intuition" (being person to person that is). Don't think an internet connection is going to be able

I love articles like this. I always learn something new. I must admit that I did think that malloc would use VM if necessary hence giving a potentially "unlimited" address space, but I guess it is nice to have that cemented rather than theo
