I think you're substantially agreeing with the author you've quoted, at least as far as the quote. Expressing distaste for memory-managed languages in game development and being able to cite a specific scenario for that is not the

My concern when making a purchase is whether the purchase will be good for me. I would definitely wipe whatever laptop I purchased, so this story is interesting and embarrassing for Lenovo but has no effect on my own purchases which are dri

The idea that people are going to make fun of you for being Anglo-Saxon, and then you are going to turn it around on them by referring to the content of this article, is just absolutely cringeworthy.

Because Anglo-Saxons entirely different (both culturally and ethnically) from modern "whites" had shit jokes at school and teachers molesting children?

With minor changes, much of this post could have been written before iPod about mp3 players, or before iPhone about smartphones: the competitors have launched things in this space for years, the products are (from a technically savvy review

I hate implicit returns and don't even want them to be possible. A return is a major event. It's clearly a matter of taste.

Do you think they wouldn't take contributions? The licensing is such that if it's really a great project, then even if it were completely abandoned, it would be no big deal to fork it in order to continue development. If it's

In my experience many IRC channels are fine. If you run a project's IRC channel, there's really no excuse for forcing users to deal with a bad community, and a bad community is an excellent reason to find another project to spend

The problem is the standard for reviews. It cannot become mandatory to read Reddit before publishing a paper. Reddit has an endemic issue of publishing sensational results with major distortions, Reddit contains frequent major errors

As someone who makes free content, this is scary. I understand the Harvard has a lot more money to take care of accessibility than I do, but why would that exempt me? What is the legal formula determining who is in danger from lawsuits abou

I don't have any problem with ML, nor do I favor Javascript or PHP. Maybe you shouldn't make so many assumptions.

We could assume that Rapidshare got shut down because of evil copyright blah blah... Or maybe they just couldn't compete with Dropbox et al.

I found this wonderfully clear and refreshing and I felt hopeful for the future of programming. In the meantime, it's just nice to see that not everyone is a shambling cultist, repeating canned talking points they read on a wiki which

Do you think that making Native apps (e.g., using Objective-C) makes more sense than sending around Javascript code? There are many languages better than Javascript. I think it would be great if Smalltalk fans could replace Javascript with

The article's flaws aside, it does give a number of specific examples of Javascript design flaws, specifically type system flaws leading to unintuitive results (like the "wat" talk). These are real flaws, which actually occur

This only requires a minor adjustment: "nobody drank water back then if they could help it, because whenever anyone did for a reason like poverty, they were very likely to get violently ill." Not that it's true.

This has almost nothing to do with the original post, I guess you just wanted to bring up the strange idea that Christians are being unfairly persecuted all of the time by the less-religious minority.
