   You have often a (single) big switch in lexers (often automatically generated). In network communication, you have often a big switch on the type of message (less often automatically generated). It is not a bad pattern to have switch in tho

   I think 2014 is the year for fedora. It is the best solution I see to avoid the insane unity and to have a reliable, modern mainstream distribution.

    I think there is a new generation in IT very different from the previous ones. Rejection of misogyny is the norm now. Seems to be an improvement.

    I think it is just a question of habit. When I started online shopping, I have reduced impulse buys (candies, ...). Now, I add them to the list.

    One cause of the spaghetti code was the mixing of business logic and of presentation. The separation of concern was easier in smarter languages (like ruby or scala) than in php. Nowadays, templating and presentation is mostly performed on t

    For me, this kind of post means that C language is not any more core basic knowledge. The new generation has selected a new set of core basic knowledge: javascript, html5, python (for teaching of algorithm, not for production), scalability,

    Go is not boring, but what you see in the game evolves a lot with your level. I have stayed a couple of year at 5 kyu with monotonous games. Once I have improved to 3kyu, games were a lot more funny.

    I do not know what you mean by "Microsoft knows it and invests in it accordingly". For me, the big quality of Excel is that it has almost not changed in 20 years. If Microsoft changes anything in excel, this will hurt millions of

    Nothing wrong with OO or pure FP. They combine very well in languages like scala. The author complains that "in Scala, functions are just objects with a method named apply" and complains also about "lack of first-class functi

    I think the EU directive has been much influenced by the CNIL and the preexisting french laws. The CNIL ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNIL ) was very influencial 20 years ago. It has lost most of its power now, but its
