What a fantastic catch. This is also one of Meyer's Effective C++ tips: always use const when applicable.

Heh, so out of the millions of policemen and militants in the world, that protect the billions out there, you found a handful that have gone bad. Sure, let's let anyone kill anyone…

I'm not sure what these questions have to do with anything, but no, no, and no. Again every point adds nothing to the debate: Guns are tools for killing. I'm pretty afraid of that,…

The idea that someone can kill me because I got them angry is sillier. There are the police and courts and the like.

What, aside from the obvious reason? Someone in the military follows orders and serves the nation while someone with a gun will probably do whatever he/she feels with it and nothin…

Wow! Why have any protection against getting killed at all?! Let's just let everyone murder everyone else at will and then we'll try them afterwards! After all we can't stop them i…

I'd like to see your brave Kratos face with an AK-47 in your face. Every point you make is wrong: I'd have a decent chance of getting away from a car, I wouldn't from an AK-47. A c…

This is bullcrap. When someone has a rifle pointed at you, you don't care what the statistics are. You know your life is in danger and much, much more so than if someone had a knif…

What? How is this not a disgrace? This article means that practically anyone anywhere in the US can have an AK-47 with no licensing. How is that supposed to make me feel safe? What…

What awful advice. I prefer someone to ask me "Can I help you?" If I need help I'll tell him, if I don't right now I'll tell him. Cornering me like that with a two choice question …

Dear god don't compare the Xbox to Google TV. No. Google TV was shit slow at launch and that was enough to kill it, imo.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's true only if you use methods and not operators, because Go doesn't support operator overloading.

This is a bad attitude, imo. The Go standard library wouldn't be possible without generics [1]. It's just that the functionality exposed to the standard library isn't exposed other…

Any plans to add templates/a form of generic programming? Does the community care about that? How have people been working around that? And congrats! EDIT: Yes I know what the faq …

I urge you to take this criticism more seriously. With your library a programmer is changing the semantics of class nesting in the language, all by pre-pending a very missable and …

See I don't know about that. Maybe exceptions was one of the features that was good to be left out. I think maybe the comma ok idiom forces the programmer to more actively check fo…

Are garbage collection pauses really a concern? You're still running atop a multitasking operating system with all kinds of pauses.

That's exactly how I feel, I guess. D seems to have a lot more features (import, public import, and static import?) and I'm no expert but I feel some aren't all that necessary/add …

I think that's true, but it's also sad. I've looked at D and it's criticism seems reasonable to me: it actually seems to have more features than C++. I really hope Go catches on mo…

Well I think there are if statements, loop conditions, and wildcard expansion that works in zsh but not in bash. So you could get used to something working in zsh, then you write a…

After using zsh for a while I moved back to bash. The main reason is that I want to learn bash well, because I might be writing shell scripts in the future and I don't want to use …

I'm trying to do windows development and I'm learning that if you don't try to force it into a unix-lixe env, it works fine. I installed chocolatey [1] a package manager. With that…

From reading How to Win Friends and Influence People, I think it boils down to self importance. We like to put others down because it makes us feel more important. If you recognize…

I wonder if anyone can put a D lang web framework on there? Vibe.d seems to be the only viable one: http://vibed.org

Assuming the industry is 80% men and 20% women, and that the kind of genitalia you have doesn't affect your intelligence or proficiency in CS, and that the best, most proficient pe…
