The support for Native Client sounds interesting, but the distinction that it's not portable native client makes me wonder what you might use this for. What would one use the native client support for? Could I use it to allow develope

I also was interested to see what's going on; it sounded intriguing to me. "I want to see what some of the projects are. Maybe I can find a side project to work on!" Then when I saw that I wasn't going to get squat with

Like everything else, that is a matter of practice. Coding on paper or whiteboards is a skill you can become proficient with. Get a whiteboard, get something like skienna's algorithm book, and start practicing coding problems there w

While it is true that the basics of computation did exist in the 70's, it's very clear that programmer productivity today far eclipses what we were doing even 20 years ago. I started coding professionally in the 80's. Today

Measure what you care about. If lines of code produced is your thing, then measure that. One year I decided to measure defects released into production, so I could find root causes. I discovered that bad code wasn't my biggest weakn

I've observed this as well, and I think both models are valid. Sometimes banging out code non-stop is where it's at. And sometimes resting and letting the solutions bubble up into your consciousness is where it's at. Here&#

The idea of making the software worse to increase some arbitrary measure of "maturity" is sad and amusing. It makes me think of the saying "what gets measured gets done." It seems it would make more sense for managemen

I just got bit by this a few days ago. I was creating an event scheduling system that uses either repeating entries with a datetime.time, or one time entries with a datetime.datetime. I had code that said "if start_time" to see w

I never knew you could use __enter__ and __exit__ to code your own things that work with the 'with' statement. Well worth the read!

The syntax we're talking about above is probably more confusing and less intuitive than 99% of the Coffeescript out there. Don't be alarmed. If you know Javascript, it's pretty approachable. The syntax is small, but all ma

True! And Dwarf Fortress has more action, less waiting around. Eve Online is often like the real military: wait for 2 hours for 80 other people to show up, then travel for 2 hours, then wait, and then the operation gets cancelled, and trav

It's particularly tricky when dealing with async code, where you can't simply say "block here till you have 4 bytes." If you're just getting in events that say "you received n bytes and here they are."
