> there is nothing more stressful for the body than exercise I think you are postulating. There was an article here a week or two ago that showed how bodies frequently in motion te…

One language that has popularized it in very recent years is Elm. It's mentioned everywhere.

Don't be too surprised. Hackers tend to treat natural language like a programming language, unfortunately. Challenge them on it, and get ridiculed. Your point has been lost in all …

Just guessing, but maybe a difference between recreational exercise by choice vs duty or imposed regimen. Or perhaps just having choice over the kind of exercise makes a difference…

> An hour spent being extremely bored and uncomfortable In the beginning, this is often true. But exercise is addictive! When your body gets used to it, you really want it and it i…

I don't follow. The body spends much more time digesting food than is normally spent exercising. I've read that constant digesting gets in the way of the body doing nightly interna…

I can't speak for Microsoft itself, but wouldn't the effort to implement a production-ready time-traveling debugging system (as explained here by SteveJS) be at least somewhat infl…

This might be completely inaccurate, but I've always thought of the body as a machine, and it has moving parts. And as with any machine, the more its parts move and get used over t…

I think @marktangotango is trolling you. Best to ignore.

Strange, the impression I got from MS devs on Twitter is that this is something they have been working on for a while that they just finished and premiered at a CPP conference.

Agreed. Willingness to break backwards compatibility is good in pursuit of a better language. wish C++ did this!

The one that I most cannot stop thinking about. I'd rather work passionately on an idea with questionable room for success than less enthusiastically on one that just offers greate…

Some of the best jokes I ever made, I remember typing them into an AIM prompt. That sounds a little sad, but it's true... it holds many social memories for me.

I don't perceive the tone you are projecting onto the OP, fwiw.

ADTs have been one of the great programming breakthroughs for me personally, when I realized how much structure and logic they can bring to a codebase despite their simplicity. One…

I primarily develop iOS apps in C++ so using Objective-C for the platform stuff is a no brainer thanks to mixing that language with C++ in the same source files. I really like Swif…

This is cool stuff to see in the world of C++. It's great to see language communities feed off each other and drive innovation like this.

Compared to other visualization, having the extra axis dimension just means what, that the sorting is being done as if each row was an independent sort, and all rows are being sort…

Count me among the converts who moved from Elm to ClojureScript, and I'm loving the FP as much as ever. I like quite a bit about Elm, but the main issue came down to productivity a…

I'm receiving my first contract programming job, but I have a question/concern based on things I've read here and elsewhere. I'm wondering what is the typical and fair process for …

I recently installed Sourcetree, which prompted for an Atlassian account, but my information was automatically submitted without any input from me. The software knew my email addre…

A lot depends on your definition of "simple" and whether you equate external details like environment and even profession to internal state of your mind. A lot people lead very cre…

I think there is a whole new category of books on modern computing that is relatively empty and those with a knack for explaining important but challenging concepts should really g…
