I'm also from Slidell. What a surprise seeing this thread here on HN today. Went to Slidell High, too. Cheers.

I am a native English speaker, and I've never seen that. I was very confused, and I would have had to ask many questions to figure out what "the volume over a litre" meant.

A few months ago I was trying to remember the name of this game. It took me over an hour of searching, but I eventually found it. It's called IMPETUS. Here is a post-portem on the author's site [1], and the original Ludum Dare pos

The idea is that if something negatively affects protected group(s) disproportionately, then it doesn't matter whether the mechanism by which it does so is via class -> strong race/class correlation. It's still discriminat

Awesome examples, thank you. I apologize if you already know all of this stuff. You seem much more knowledgeable about this than me. As for type inference, C# will sometimes infer the RHS from the LHS, lambdas are one example. Also sometime

Your brain does a lot of work when you look at things. You don't perceive exactly what your eyes see. You will use context to see something one way or another. [1][2] The dress photo is deceptive because of the exposure, levels, and cr

C# also infers method type parameters, and will implicitly convert a lambda to a matching interface. Fluent code in C# is also very clean. They're great features in both languages.

They're betting a lot on Azure, so not all people who switch to Linux servers will be lost customers. They can still run their Linux servers on Azure. I don't pretend to understand the calculus of the decision, just offering this

I have nothing pinned at all, and it would be crazy IMO to pin everything by default. I'd have to unpin every program I install. Isn't that what the start screen is for? Aren't pinned programs supposed to be the exception?

I agree. However, there is a lot of fear among developers in my area with regards to learning new languages. Many developers I know would rather learn 20 new frameworks than a single new language. Managers feel even more strongly along thos

At work we use Xamarin for iOS-only projects, as we're primarily a C# consultancy. It's expensive, but it would be more expensive and difficult to find or train native iOS developers. Or at least, that's the impression manage

At $400 a piece, often including lengthy interviews and an overwhelming demand, the author should raise their rates. Probably by an order of magnitude.

The submitter can find another outlet and submit that. Submitting a paywall article is like submitting an item with no link at all, with text content "google it."

The wikipedia article [1] is a decent introduction. Functional programming is loosely-defined as a style of programming that involves using some subset of: * Higher-order functions * Pure functions / referential transparency * Immutabi

The style of structuring code described in the article is one that I use too. It took 2-3 years of writing C# to settle on it, and it works extremely well for me. It's nice to see someone else enjoying the same style. For me, I mostly

I'd like to add my own feedback. I believe volume control is an essential feature of a music player, even more so than play and pause. You'll find that many users of web apps riot without one. For example, on some flash game porta
