I use private repos on Bitbucket. Most of what I've worked on over the last 5 to 10 years my competitors would absolutely love to get their hands on. Much as I'd love the street cred, I can't publish my code. If the softwa

The same can be said for any higher level language being compiled into any lower level language or machine code. It's similarly true that an optimized C compiler won't always write the best code in a best practice way. Also true:

Endian-ness would be reversing bytes, not bits within bytes, like 0x1234 -> 0x3412. What we're talking about here would be more along the lines of: 0b0010001 -> 0b1000100 The most obvious application I can think of for reversi

Before I clicked on this article, I had just been thinking about some game design ideas. I figured they weren't worth writing down, that I'd think them up again later if I needed them. Then I read that awesome Mitch Hedberg quote

You're right of course, but it bears mentioning that the way the Python web server is implemented, it cannot handle any significant load. It's not a "real" web server in the sense that it'd generally be a bad idea

I noticed that too. That quote starts with him saying "A lot of developers that seriously tried Go are very happy with it." I imagine that Robert hears about generics an awful lot, so he seems to be saying that the people who complain abo
