In the past few years C# updates and new .net libraries have had a sort of concurrency and parallelism focus. The Task Parallel Library (TPL)[1] is basically like goroutines in Go. They're a concurrency construct, for executing code that ge

Some may buy it for that reason. Are you implying it isn't likely to contain any useful information or advice on people who are actually interested in preparing for their interviews? Seems like a very pessimistic view.

ctrl+arrows are keys in Opera to go back/forward and to highlight links on a page. Needless to say, you cannot use the run button on this site in Opera.

The filter seems to try and measure self-interested intent, which correlates well with spam. However, they're not the same thing. In the content of fighting spam, if a user is providing things people are genuinely interested in, then their

I realize this was in jest, but your algorithm says that the shorter a post, the less likely it is to be closed. A post of zero length has a 0% chance of being closed. Also, the result is not bound to 0..1

Then again, if you're sleeping with the CEO, you actually get that option. You also get the option to create a place full of nepotism that's doomed to fail. Just my experience. It doesn't seem fair to insinuate that the author's offer was

Jeff, not to criticize but your site is near-unreadable to me (Windows 7, both in Chrome and Opera). Here is an image: http://i.imgur.com/4wXrQ.png The text is too light at #666 on a white background, which is pretty light on windows (alt

I think the parent commenter's point is that this isn't merely a game engine, it's a game. I was interested because I was curious if I could use this in Ludum Dare[1] next weekend, but it seems that it's not just an engine; separating the e

Currently I can build desktop apps without downloading VS at all. The compiler (csc.exe) and MSBuild come with the free Windows SDK. The libraries (System.Windows.Forms etc) come with .NET. How have they restricted this ability in 2012 expr

I think the all caps is pretty terrible and I use VS all day at work and on my personal time for hobby projects. Obviously it's not the end of the world, but as far as design decisions go it is pretty silly.

It's my understanding that copyright isn't primarily concerned with whether you were looking at the original when you produced the same work. It may be a factor in some cases, but the primary concern is similarity. If the works are the same

It's more of a "best practices" than it is documentation. In the vein of Effective C++ by Scott Meyers. It's well-written, informative and interesting. Definitely one of the best resources on Go I've come across.

This isn't actually true. The summary of a patent is usually very broad, but if you read the full text it is very specific as to the method being patented. Media outlets portray patents as covering an entire concept, but really they only co

My take on this is: 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. If you use and love a product, then the developers get acuihired and the product dies, getting upset about it is kind of childish. Get some perspective.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I think your reasons make a lot of sense. Potentially, some associations get known as "the good ones" and then they're more competitive than the others. Ultimately though, it comes down to the laws/regulatio
