   I like to periodically browse through the top submissions of https://www.reddit.com/r/unity3d to see what neat sorts of game prototypes people come up with. There are always some very interesting little unpolished gems

   Whitespace-as-syntax is something that I really disagree with (and I don't think I'm the only one). Once you become proficient in a language, the braces, semicolons, and parens become almost invisible structure, involving no cogni

   This is correct. One of the things I miss coming from C++ is the ability to pass const references. Then you have the advantage of passing a reference instead of copying an object, and the compiler enforces immutability in the function using

   I think everyone should manually implement a simple recursive descent parser at least once in their careers. It's surprisingly easy, and really (in my experience) helps to break through the mental barrier of parsers being magical black

   Since nobody else has, I'll step in here and stay please ignore this. If you encounter this attitude when you're interviewing somewhere, treat it as a big red flag to avoid working for them. You shouldn't contribute your skil

   I'm thinking (hoping) this comment is based in sarcasm. Leaving aside the overt racism and sexism, hiring someone who "passes" these ridiculous criteria seems counterproductive, as you will be hiring someone who either a) doe

   I don't think this is true for DigitalOcean. I believe you have to destroy your VM ("droplet") in order to stop being charged. If it's just powered off, you're still billed for it. You can take a snapshot, destroy t

    For a lot of my non-critical work that I want to share between computers (e.g. desktop and laptop), I commit to various git repositories in my Dropbox. It's very convenient, and allows me to share my git repos as seamlessly as document

    Something similar is "partial evaluation", and LLVM (for example) supports it via a component called LLPE [1,2]. One of its main drawbacks is it falls under the category of interprocedural optimization (as opposed to intraprocedur

    Oh, damn, I can imagine the sinking feeling this employee must have felt when he realized that he had made a mistake. It's very heartening to see the responsible way in which this was handled by both him and Boeing. No mention of reper

    For such simple metrics (visitor count and referral), wouldn't it be possible to use server-side tracking, e.g. by parsing an Apache access log? Are there any packages out there to do simple analytics without requiring client-side trac
