That's not an interface everywhere you can imagine, that's a huge, bulky interface that should probably be many smaller interfaces. No one is arguing for 16-method interfaces when all you want to do is call s.Alert().

The 6502's two-phase clock throws a wrench in direct clock speed comparisons, no?

Helping it technically is the glorious, sharp, bright three-strip Technicolor print that leads to the blu-ray having scenes that look like they were shot yesterday. Although even on VHS on a 13" screen, I still remember the chills ever

Looking at a generic from Wal-mart: the closest warning is "Take with food or milk if stomach upset occurs."

I've read both, and while Code Complete covers a LOT of ground, I like Maguire's style and his practical information. I wouldn't want to be without Code Complete, but Writing Solid Code (and his followup, Debugging the Develo

That's understandable, but maddening. Why are scripts that control/operate with an editor limited to the particular choice of the editor? Back in the Amiga days, useful things had an ARexx port, and while that meant most scripting

Is that Hulu making the decision, or the content owners? I'm guessing they're going to keep making the wrong decisions, while the various services throw up their hands trying to deal with the insanity.

There's https://github.com/bjwbell/gensimd for doing SIMD in Go. That'd take away the "clear" part pretty quickly.

Without a third party showing sales of padlock boxes with and without space for two or more locks, there's no actual way of being SURE which is more common. Even if there are ten times as many boxes available that only have space for a

Aside from what superuser2 said, let's not forget basics: it's beautiful. The weather is great. These count for a LOT.

It's not in the same vein, but my favorite puzzle is the Monty Hall Problem. Although as is relentlessly pointed out, it's not actually how "Let's Make A Deal" works. Monty Hall shows you three doors, two have goats

A quick search for padlocked box will show many, many such boxes. It seems more common for there to be space for two or more locks, than for just one.

Along with the ones mentioned by bojo, GopherCon 2016 ended a few weeks back, and the videos from the conference just started getting released five days ago. (They've got 12 up now, they put a few more up yesterday.)

Since no one else has confirmed: Yes, the Amiga had HAM mode, and there were various pictures done (generated or scanned) that showed it off. (Something like [0] was just not going to happen on PCs of the day...). I think there were even so

My memory of the era is that no one would have thought they were actually 3d rendering in real time: that was Just Not Possible. I'll point out that once they finally, FINALLY made a memory card for the Commodore 64, that plugged into

Two different things here: previous versions of the compiler got slower as it was moved, in automated fashion, from C to Go. Code compiled with Go was not slower. The new version of Go has both improved compile time (though not quite to the

Languages themselves, too: Go 1.7 just came out, but the test lists Go 1.6.2. Rust 1.11 just got released yes? 1.9 (!) is used. Love to see both of those bumped to current.

If it's stripped out during production, that sounds more like an assert than a contract. What's the line over which you'd call an assert a contract...?

As cesarb points out the ARM did that, and so did the Z-80 IIRC: basically, your friend was either trolling you or had no idea what he was saying. Addressing is done in parallel. The address decoding isn't the part that drinks time.
