    Looks amazing. I like how people are adopting Haxe and making all this cool stuff. Awesome work, thanks for sharing.

    "GM foods are and will continue to be a great leap forward in sustainable, scalable agriculture." I see a lot of data that contradicts that statement, time and again. Is that a gen…

    It's out of place that you try to insinuate others are angry after using so much passive aggressive vitriol. It is laughable that you try 'appeal' to constructive dialogue after mo…

    I said it was daft in the context of his recount. You seem to miss important parts and move the goal posts a lot there and the passive agressive reuse of others language and the ch…

    I didn't agree with anything anyone said on Twitter. Sorry, but you are mistaken on that opinion you believe I share. Don't know why you would go about imagining that I am aligned …

    So you state that from your POV his language reflected that women are not people too ??? That is really great, that you had to make a throw away account to put that out there, it r…

    Added in response to : 'It wouldn't be sexist if he wrote "how I taught my girlfriend to program". Imagine if it said "how to teach your black friend to program". Why only black fr…

    Mostly because some other person who happens to be a man and is in a relation with a person that happens to be a woman may feel like teaching her some basic programming and a title…

    Is that a throw away account ? But anyways, because some other person who happens to be a man and is in a relation with a person that happens to be a woman may feel like teaching h…

    I see where you are going with that. But he does write from his own perspective and doesn't set out to approach your specific concerns. In his case I hope his girlfriend doesn't te…

    Having read the article, I think it would be good for you to quote something out of it that is blatantly sexist. So that your comment doesn't equal a mixed insult to the writer bas…

    Ok, thanks for the follow up. It can be easier and less daunting than it looks, and I totally get your description on how you feel about it at this point. Having your background in…

    I think you should pickup openGL/webGL instead of that other stuff, if you are serious and not trolling. Because I really can't tell at this point in the thread.

    Trying to paternalize on a subject this central isn't going to work. We are far from the era of central media control supported McCarthyism. If you want to play it like it is unimp…

    In a way I find it rather unfortunate that gmo's lack of self termination is being given a beneficial spin of sorts, maybe because we are now balls out with this "hey, it's a conjo…

    I don't see how type inference in Haxe is worst than AS3 type inference. Think it stands on its own on that particular point. I also never had a crash with something out of the run…

    I don't know how someone can even attempt that tone without having a clue on what one is on about. "The 28 days statutory (UK) leave compared with 25 in Greece, France, Austria, Sw…

    Haxe NME is getting WebGL support on the (js)HTML5 target, with shaders. Also crossplat for flash and cpp compile targets. Take a peek at foo3d: http://code.google.com/p/foo3d/

    Sorry for the OC. I may have missed something here. I don't see how two checkboxes equal 4 bits of information by default. In this case you can have two checkboxes depending on 1 b…
