I like Eric Cartman's version of this (South Park S21E01).

> Groovy also deserved a special mention, and the pudding is Grails. I vaguely remember that when Groovy became more typed (statically typed that is. I believe you could always put…

I tried to embrace this knot especially since I grew up sailing and know all kinds of ways to tie knots but I just can't seem to keep the tension as well as the traditional way. I …

The causality of what? I'm probably missing something obvious here. The cause of people getting paid less in game development I said has to do with margins (although I now think th…

Your new point is excellent btw. I should have considered that. I also hope it doesn't sound like I don't care for these developers who are being taken advantage of. They should be…

~~Perhaps now especially since these companies are predominately hiring oversees contractors but circa 2009-2015 when I was around entrepreneurs and startups this was discussed.~~ …

I think it is mostly just margins. Sure there are lots of people willing to work for no very little money for game dev but I would say there are tons of people willing to work for …

Hi HN, I have been working on a Java template engine that is type-safe and uses Mustache for syntax. I developed it because my company has been using Mustache (and handlebars) heav…

I really wish they aggregated the metric of build time (+ whatever). That is a huge metric I care about. You can figure out it somewhat by clicking on each language benchmark but i…

I have to agree (ignoring the whole C doesn’t throw exceptions). I have been looking at our bugs, logs and exceptions recently of the past 6 years and an enormous amount of bugs ar…

I hope not. Not for me for sure. Every time someone downvotes me it literally makes me feel like shit for like a day. This includes reddit as well. I’m not saying I’m looking for u…

Watching that video of the car accelerate I remember being awestruck how fast circa 1990 my Taiyo RC Fast Traxx could go. I remember my dad and I scaling up the math (I was only 10…

I’m just not comfortable with this. Maybe I’m just getting old and maybe I have seen too many movies but I feel uneasy about our children and maybe us having another “grade” put on…

I am not averse to new formats. I am averse to formats that try to “unify”. And yeah I don’t have a problem with XML or JSON. Those two combined with some flatbuffer other men bina…

The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from. - Andrew Tanenbaum Computer Networks, 2nd ed., p. 254. I think all developers go through some experience whe…

Oh I’m sorry I missed your question earlier. It was straight to github. I think he/she had some readme for some basic instructions/about.

Yes that title isn't just pedantically incorrect... its extremely disingenuous. Where did the 90% even come from?

> clever code is often difficult to read and understand later I have seen this many times and they are actually usually talented developers that are just not used to working in gro…

I remember once someone who posted their blog and it was just a listing of markdown files in a github repository. Not even a jekyllyzed version... just a folder with date prefixed …

Likewise I have noticed higher end consumer products out of luxury boutiques do not show reviews.

Perhaps childish and trite but I do like the use of the word “oxidation” for porting to Rust
