Yes, it provides an easy way of transferring ideas and scripts I'm using at home to work without having to pass code through an overly aggressive email filter. Besides, as others have said people can see what quality level of code I can pro

Like all powerful things, when used properly implicits add rather than detract from the code. In Scala's case, you can limit the scope of the implications which is just so nice. I'm not a fan-boy but it sure beats the heck out of Java.

Actually that very much scares me. What's to prevent any company from copyrighting a small passage of code and then rigorously suing everyone and their brother for it? At least with patents you can claim prior art.

Joel is awesome, althought I don't agree with him on everything. He's got it nailed. When you're working a dead-end job, being paid less than everyone at other companies, in an environment where even your chair is falling apart, doing the

STM just can't come fast enough for the languages I write code within at work.

Damn, I read that and didn't understand half of the graduate stuff. Then again, I'm at work so what am I doing reading this? I have so much to learn and so little time to do it.

I'd hate to be his HR person. The deluge of resumes is going to be overwhelming. Although, I don't agree with all that he says I applaud him for pointing out something companies often times miss: testers should test other people's code, n

Is it me or should that read "boost" not "boot?"

From the website of Awwthor LLC: "In our model portfolio, our initial balance of $5,000 grew within three months to $150,000." -- So let me get that straight, a 3000% increase in only 3 months!?

Having personally worked with Guo while he was setting up his lab, I'm really pleased to see him linked on this website. The man is damned smart and it's very true what he said. For those wonder how it all works check out: http://www.opt

Unions are great when they are needed. The problem with unions is that once they are not needed anymore they don't go away.

Damn, that is a fascinating legal discourse from someone who knows what they're talking about. Hats off to you sir. I'm following this story not only because of its relevance to start-ups and IP in general but also because it's techcrunch

Looking at what he's holding versus what I saw in the hype pictures is a starkly different product in terms of size. I don't care if the green is a trick of the camera light or not Arrington was right if he wanted it priced topping in at 3

This has convinced me I need to spend more time on Scala. Well done.

Um 3 lines? That's not 3 lines. Sure it FITS into 3 lines but every time you see a ";" you also see a new line. So #define mu_run_test(test) do { char message = test(); tests_run++; if (message) return message; } while (0) Isn't one lin

Heh, I've been using ESRI since 9.0. Well, to be honest it's required by the contract. I joined when it got bought out.

Yet another language? I wish people would focus more on making some existing languages "better" than inventing something completely new.

Very interesting stuff. Our project has been required to work with the ESRI ArcObjects stuff for the past 4 years and I've been dying to get inside of their algorithms. Thanks for resparking my curiosity.

Anyone check out the video at the bottom? Holy @#$* that's a nice workspace. I live in a cube. I'd actually be excited to go to work if that were my workplace.

Would love to click on that but those pesky little web-filter things disable URL shorteners here. Anyone care to link a full link?

I'd like to have that much time on my hands too.

You mean yet another company trying to get me to learn yet another language they created specifically for their product? I'll pass. :P

Great, wonderful, um... what language is this?!

Not to come across as a skeptic but let's see how long this one lasts. If true, n^11 is fairly hideous a computational burden.

The minute I saw the Microsoft add-on in Firefox that I hadn't requested I disabled it. Same thing with Skype, Google bar, Yahoo bar, and any other add-on that slips through my obviously lacking scrutiny. Wish they'd just stop. Then again

"Why not? as nike say “just do it”, if the code has 10 bugs but is finished in half the time then you’ve done good, that gives you loads of time to fix the bugs, and more importantly you get to those moments where you realise x,y&z need
