It would be interesting to see a comparison of today's possibilities for VR in arcades, with the VR arcade machines of the early 90s [1]. VR didn't save arcades then; are there differences in today's VR games (or in today&#x2

Yes, that description of the visitor pattern seems wrong to me. The visitor pattern isn't about operating on the elements of collections, it's about altering behavior depending on the type of object being operated on.

What do you mean by "trigger the AGPL for all the systems that are network-connected to the AGPL system"? The AGPL requires that you offer to distribute the source code to derivative works you make of AGPLed code; and it requires

Yep. There's also some good discussion on the Portland Pattern Repository, particularly this discussion[1] about how the meaning of "Controller" changed from it's original Smalltalk meaning (where it is the component tha

I don't see how this is a counterpoint. tpope says "This first line should be a concise summary of the changes introduced by the commit", and antirez says the first line should be a "synopsis of the meaning of the change

Sometimes I start a long-running process, redirecting it's output, and periodically look at the output file while this process is running. Your proposed solution wouldn't allow for that.

I don't see the problem. Contrary to the post, double clicking a link doesn't open it twice, and double clicking a submit button doesn't submit the form twice; at least, not on Chrome or Firefox on Linux.

The thing I dislike about the hubub around Markdown is the incredible poverty of ambition. No-one has yet quite nailed the perfect web-based editor for the kind of styled text we've had in printed matter for 500 years; apparently, beca

I don't think you need to use metaclasses, you can just define the relevant magic methods, something like: class JSLikeObject(dict): __getattr__ = dict.__getitem__ __setattr__ = dict.__setitem__ ETA: That gets

Ah, the penny drops. Thanks. I've actually been bitten by not paying attention to the same distinction in python, which I evidently haven't quite learned the lesson of yet.

Sure, but it's takeIterable and statefulMapIterableWith which I was wondering about. They are themselves callables which return iterables. Is there any reason not to write them as generator functions?

The code here repeatedly defines functions which return an object with only one property, with the name being Symbol.iterator and the value being a generator function. Is there a reason to do this, rather than just writing a generator funct

The article advocates "building a game that's meant to be played rather than just reacted to." That sounds right, but, then, it's sufficiently general that I'm not sure who would disagree with it. The last paragraph
