Viewing profile — Autre

The interesting thing here is: why do big companies don't need to keep their talents? Does bureaucracy compensate for lack of talent? And vice versa? Does this also mean that you c…

I was deliberately excluding the constructor situation. I should have made that clearer in my previous comment. I think the way out of the constructor mess is not to require them a…

Yeah, it gets really hairy, really quickly. Beyond the need for calling the constructor (which I'm currently viewing it as an unnecessary hidrance [ objects are already initialized…

Just tried the following: for (var i = 0; i but it seems like eval is not supported yet - i guess for good reasons.

Well, i'm not sure about that. Aren't we expected to be professionals and act like ones on any given job? Should we just eschew Knuth and express ourselves? Don't think so. OTOH, i…
