I work at Sony R&D

I remember the Vita, but only because I'm surrounded by the things. Open a drawer? There's probably 8 of them lying around.

Thank you so much!

Someone posted an article a while back about working to calculus using functions, I think it was titled something like "If Socrates knew functions"? I'm not sure. Does it ring a be…

C# has the same issue really, although we do it use for some other tooling and whatnot as we're a .NET shop. Don't know much Ruby or Python to be honest so I'm not sure how could I…

Agree on that one, it's really verbose and ugly. I liked the idea of a cmd that integrates so nicely with .NET but I don't think it worked out this time. We use powershell a lot at…

I really enjoy watching videos like this for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EeTfiBWZzU It's not quite the same but I felt it's relevant.

I think reddit gets kind ofh ard to follow for conversations. It's really good for content aggregation, but I much prefer 4chan (and any other chan etc) for conversations. Though I…

Hmm, unrelated but I hadn't realised you had laws at the county level too in the USA. I assumed it was federal and state only.

I call it out in CRs when I see it and I've been fixing any of these I come across in code at work. I'd rather a compiler forces me to put braces around everything than let people …

I just have a problem with the mixing of braces on an if/else chain I guess. I don't know how to explain it clearly, it just rubs me the wrong way?

I don't find something like the below frustrating really if (a) ... else ... But for some reason I find the below _very_ frustrating. It feels misleading and I find it to be very, …

Visual Studio is more bloated than IntelliJ or Eclipse? Absolutely not. When I had the displeasure of using IntelliJ it would use 1.2GB RAM for a fucking 5 file project. Debugging …

Of course, I went straight to amazon after the experience with Asus customer support and got a full refund in an hour.

I had a poor experience with them in the UK. The hinge snapped on my ultrabook (I don't remember the exact model as the codes are obscure.) E-mailed support, provided plenty of pic…

Yeah from what I've seen I've noticed he jumps around a lot putting out fires when he changes anything. Like I said in another reply, he's too far in the camp of C++ being C with c…

I agree with things like these, I think Casey and other programmers like him are too far in the camp of C++ is just C with classes. From what I have seen of the code and videos, I …

Out of interest, why do you think the Handmade Hero code is atrocious? I haven't kept up with it so I don't have much of an opinion.

>only `i32`, `u8`, `i16` While these are not new ideas - Why not use s32 rather than i32 and so on. Makes more sense if you use something like u32 too. I think it's important when …

Since it's based on Google metrics - what are the stats like for countries where Google is not the most popular search engine? E.g China, Russia and Japan.

Huh? From your article: I should say right away, I haven't found anything crucial and I think there are three reasons why PVS-Studio hasn't found serious bugs The rest of the artic…

I don't see why it's if and so on. Seems they want to be SVO just for the sake of it, and not because it's actually a good idea. For something that wants type safety like Scala, th…

Hosted on sourceforge ugh. Seems quite a few of these open source revivals have been written in Java (possible mild confirmation-bias here.)

I was there recently for a couple of weeks for work. Pretty ugly place to be honest, but like you say people are very friendly. Our office there had female dev but the general gend…

My company (UK) has an office in Romania. There are devs there too and they're pretty good, competent at least. Unsurprisingly we have no more client help-desk team here in London …
