> When I don't exercise (for me that means also practicing Ashtanga Yoga) for like a week because of external reasons, I experienced a deep slash of depression Yep, that's the flip…

Are you coding currently in C++11/14 ? It doesn't feel "bandaid-y" at all.

That sounds very similar to LabView (aka. G)... Have you ever tried programming something complicated in LabView? I'd almost rather write assembly. Professional programming is abou…

That makes sense - though most of the time if a method call only makes sense give a particular state, it's generally set to be protected. You can still call it with the wrong state…

This really seems like something that should be solved by the IDE. In VS13 the R-Click -> Go to Definition interface is OKay... but it definitely could be better

and C++11 btw ...

You clearly don't work on a large code base =) Most programming concepts are really about code organization and not expressiveness or the ability to express an algorithm clearly. O…

I might be alone on this, but whenever I read things by John Carmack I get a vague sense that he doesn't really get object oriented programming. He always has a lot of interesting …

Both statements ring true... what's your point?

I can't think of anything from Microsoft Research that has translated into an actual product (other than maybe the Kinect.. though I think a lot of that IP was bought). They do som…

I'd definitely pick C++11 unless you need to use Rust. Rust is inherently memory safe - however in practical terms this isn't important for most applications. If you are writing se…

right? B/c if there is one thing I wouldn't call Elon Musk, it would be "charismatic". Maybe in private he comes of differently

This is a false dichotomy that keeps being restated. The air pollution is China is not primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels, but due to poor regulations. If their coal plan…

The numbers around water "used" for beef are a bit disingenuous. It's counting water used to grow the feed - but feed is relatively easy to transport and can be grow in water-rich …

Well if you assume the judicial system is corrupt - then the real problem lies in the courts - not necessarily in patents. >The claim that one can own an idea is silly on its face …

I think it's a bit of a false equivalence - but I do agree that , while in office, public servants should have very little privacy. No one is forcing you into the job. If you want …

It seems like they should have waited for the surfboard thing to make it's journey before launching the kickstarter. It would have made the project seem a lot more credible. Like a…

This would be unmanned and cost a fraction

severance pay is given out for layoffs and not firings. It always seemed like a weird system to me b/c if you're laying people off, you're probably already strapped for cash - so y…

I talked to some SpaceX people a few months ago and it sounded like the place is a real meat grinder. They are all super pumped about working at SpaceX, just incredibly passionate …

Well this system would in theory bypass the White House countermeasures

> Blaming it on biology is basically a creative way of giving up on the problem, though I think you're missing the point. If we acknowledge that there are differences then we can c…

I guess it's nice to hear I'm not alone. Well unfortunately you need to fill in the other 4 hours in a way that doesn't leave you feeling inadequate - but you're right, it's someth…

I think it's a bit apples to oranges. Programming is for the most part sitting quietly in front of a computer screen for hours each day. At face value it looks easier, but it's act…

I wonder if the Japanese groan when they have to get into one of those...
