Oops! The high density of comments criticizing capitalism made me misinterpret what you had said. My bad.

Do you believe we would be better off if we destroyed/prohibited all the technological innovations you mentioned in your comment? Stop for a moment and think about that. Then, read…

If the so called "evil wealthy people" control all the machines that produce goods and services, what would they use those goods and services for, since the rest of the world is mi…

Copying with pentadactyl using Y shows exactly what has been copied on the status line at the bottom of the screen.

Lockheed had been working with D-Wave for a while. If they decided to actually buy one of their computers, this probably means that they liked what they were seeing.

Is there something that prevents you from starting your own company?

He says he dislikes a private system but, at the same time, indirectly acknowledges that what makes the system at his district work is the fact that it is partly private. It is par…

*hate himself

I really don't understand what makes someone do something for 4 years that he or she clearly dislikes. He must hate his himself.

Humans will always figure out a way to combine the resources they have to generate additional value. It doesn't matter if these resources are wood, sand, oil, water, steel or softw…

Seems like the big confusion about the controller is that it is closer to a ViewModel (think MVVM) than to a Controller itself. Potatos, Potahtos.

The bottom line is: everything that cannot be scientifically proved acquires this sort of "religous" attributes. No wonder religions and politics are like that

What he wrote about Microsoft is completely unrelated to the rest of his post. It says nothing about the company's culture and software development processes. He could have saved h…

The cons mentioned in the article above aren't Ruby cons per se, they are shared by all dynamic languages.

It kinda sucks that you still have to declare an interface in order to pass functions around.

Do you guys know a productivity application that monitors app usage and keystrokes?

C#, the language, is not windows centric. The framework released by microsoft might be, but the language itself is decoupled from windows.

I also feel like "Funcs" are a work around. What I like the most about C# is the fact that it keeps evolving and incorporating new paradigms (closures, lambdas, LINQ, etc)

You shouldn't be proud of having 1 gazillion tests if all you do is rewrite/fix regressions on them.

Bottom line is: test code is code and you have to maintain it. If you write code that does not give you anything in return, or gives you more headaches than anything else, you wast…

And how often did you have to rewrite those tests because you were drastically changing the architecture of your code? Do you think the effort of maintaining all those tests might …

Exactly. The computer will just repeat what you tell it to do. There is the chance that you will tell it wrong (a bug in your test code), and the chance that what you told it is no…

You can never actually guarantee anything even if you have tests. The tests will only increase the likelihood of catching regressions.

How many of those 17% are illegal immigrants? Do you have that data?
