I can't help but think about how you can build a state machine in C++ templates that achieve the same result with type safety, no overhead and no risk of running into compilers generated problems.

So basically someone gave money to Microsoft for patents they could probably never have been able to enforce? Wow, Microsoft really got screwed up again...

Agile doesn't mean releasing an application is testing an application. Your users aren't your testers. I'm sorry, when I read this rant I read someone who didn't do his homework in the first place.

I think Jeff's post lacks humility and perspective. Generally you try not to name laws after yourself, but let's say it was some sort of humour. I truly think he should put web programming aside for a while, and realize someone has got to w

Don't forget that games are also bought by teenagers that don't have a lot of money. $ 49 was a lot when I was a teen. The right price changes from one person to another. That's why you segment the market. That's what Valve does. People wil

Being based on something doesn't mean it's like similar. Is C++ like Simula? My statement was probably poorly phrased, but what I meant is that a modern C++ program is nothing like a modern Java program. The approach are radically different

C++ has got nothing to do with neither Java nor C#.

I wholeheartedly agree. Windows 7 is an excellent operating system. People jump to conclusions too quickly. The challenger of Windows Vista is not MacOS X or Linux, it's Windows XP.

Perhaps we are simply a link in evolution between biological life and cybernetic life. Who knows? I still think however that the Super AI singularity is a phantasm. Intelligence is not the key to everything. As fast as ideas can go, putting

Of course robots will take jobs from human beings. Have you ever seen a BMW factory? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vRg64HX5gA Is it a bad thing to have dumb jobs done by machines? I'm always amused when I read "stop making progress, t

Low latency is interesting when you're tweaking the VST in real time and want to see how it affects your recording. With enough CPU power and a good audio card, this is doable even with a complex stack of effects. I guess it could also be i

I don't think the author tried to get any real work done with Audacity. It's really not up to par with either Sound Forge or Wavelab. I really had a terrible time last time I checked out Audacity. I understand it's free of charge and you ca

I reached the same conclusion. It just doesn't make any sense. It's as if two different people wrote the entry.

I sincerely think the aim of his posts is to please his audience, get attention. The posts are more and more noisy, pointless and irrelevant. It looks as if he's forcing to write an entry regularly, even when he's got nothing to say. You ca

I agree with you, I don't understand what point the author is trying to prove. I truly think that mixing code and requests is acceptable only for small projects. Not a single word about stored procedures, which are in a way an abstraction o
