Then, all the replies I received were seemingly defiant but all in fact agreed to the point while trying to sound smart.

And where exactly is the problem? You've received exactly the type of answer you wanted. steveklabnik repeatedly agreed with you by saying that a programming language cannot make you a good programmer.

Remember, your "simple truth" is just a small part of the whole story. The other part is that less strict languages allow you get away with mistakes and be lazy but later on fail catastrophically (e. g. by "losing a thumb"). You're dismissing this very important part as "trying to sound smart" or by calling it childish.

Searching through source code in github is horrible. It only searches through the content and completly ignores filenames which makes it absolutely useless to me.

The bars are overlapping each other. You have to use the next button to see all of them.

Go has a gc. That doesn't seem to be the problem. Google also uses Java quite often.

Does all of this boil down to these subreddits getting to /r/all? There are worse subreddits that the admins left alone. They should just introduce a shadowban for subreddits that excludes them from /r/all and perhaps hide links from other subreddits to the offending one.

(Insert 100M trues and one false at the end, and find me the false)

That sounds like arrays benefited heavily from the easy branch prediction.

I don't think anyone who can afford $2500 clothes is poor.

Buildings take time to build, do I have to make that clear?

That largely depends on how quickly you want to build. Chinese companies can build whole skycrapers within weeks. http://www.theverge.com/2015/5/14/8608039/building-timelapse...

Because your web app will appear sluggish to your users compared to a native app.

You're right. The transistor count only increased by 90% every 18 months.

There was no incentive. A lot of Xbox games were released on PC.

That won't work since IE11 because it no longer contains IE or MSIE in the useragent.

This is detrimental to JIT implementations of languages.

Deflation also causes problems because the value of your money increases over time. Should I spend it today, tomorrow or in 10 years?

Enjoy television shows that offer multi-month and multi-year arcs and are designed to be consumed by dedicated fans in order, rather than principally for syndication in random order.

This has nothing to do with economic or technical limitations. It has cultural reasons. SDF Macross aired in 1982 in Japan with 26 episodes in order and I'm sure there are even earlier shows.

Watch #gamergate on twitter for just a minute and you'll get the opposite impression. By far.

I'm not seeing any harassment. On the other hand I don't see anything about ethics in game journalism either. It's just some completly stupid sjw vs anti-sjw fight.

Your name just reminded me of Terry Pratchet's death

Well, you have have exactly-once delivery

Is this intentional?

You probably ran out of free views. NY Times requires a subscription but the first 10 articles per month can be viewed without paying.

My office desk is still the same size.

Hard means expensive and it wouldn't be much better than inefficient campuses

From what I've heard the author of LuaJIT contributed a lot of performance improvements to V8.

LuaJIT is a blessing and a curse. It's magnitudes faster than the standard interpreter but on the other hand it's version is lagging behind which means a lot of people won't benefit from the latest lua version

Is this some kind of parallelogram scheme?

For the curious enter the following into your terminal

java -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version

It will list about 700 options.

The most expensive part of Java exceptions is building the stacktrace. You can avoid this by overriding the fillInStacktrace method with an empty implementation.

HTTP PUT should be used in place of HTTP POST if you need idempotency.

That's the ballmer peak
