Apple gets this spot on by having an icon represent the action actually being performed, i.e., sending some information somewhere Yet most people find the Apple icon obtuse and confusing. I would hardly say that's spot on when it fai

I think it's quite a stretch to say that people who have written articles about generics I said 99%. The vast majority of language observations online are language tourists, and the observations are seldom practical or rational, but

The only really innovative parts of Go are its concurrency support, which Swift seems to be completely lacking. Worth noting that one of the greatest problems in software development is concurrency support and its ease of use/robustn

It is an accurate paraphrasing of what you did say. Do you disagree with that? The paraphrasing is necessary for discussion. EDIT: I would love to see what an accurate paraphrasing is, then. I've re-read your post and what I stated i

Their new models are 16GB, but you are exactly right that the model is very similar to the GPGPU (less memory, but what it does have is incredibly fast), albeit fewer but higher performance cores than something like a Tesla. Knights Landing

Worth noting that Intel already has a many weaker core design -- the Xeon Phi. While it exists as an add-in "co-processor" right now, in 2015 it will become a stand-alone platform via Knights Landing.

They attacked Go how? They used a checkbox, blanket argument against GCs, where the discussion was specifically about Go. It is just something I've noticed about the Rust team -- they overwhelmingly hold Go as their foe, and most if

There are many domains in which GC is a deal-breaker Sure. That encompasses a very small set of code. Indeed, it's interesting that you mentioned games given that most game engines now are a relatively small non-GC engine, layered at

by personZ 12y ago
While the web is one place where GCs have been well proven and a non-problem, are there actually any cases at all with Go where the GC became a problem? It seems like this GC advocacy is based upon a checkmark more than a reality. My experi

The trick to SRED is to hire an outside expert who will work on contingency to get a percentage of the SRED rebate they generate. This is the scam of SRED. It is unfortunate that we are at this place. There is absolutely nothing difficu

LINQ is a black-box that is often disastrous for application performance. The more LINQ in a project, the more likely the project is headed to failure.
