Small correction: Rust doesn't have exceptions. panic!() crashes the current thread with an optional error message, but it doesn't do stack traces and there's no try/catch in the language (there's the try!() macro, but…
Yeah, that's definitely an issue. The Scala auto-complete is not very responsive, which makes the whole IDE experience with Scala pretty undesirable, sadly. I've been using IDEA with Java in the last ~2 months and it…
Yeah.. If you're gonna give your app a name from a foreign language, at least look it up in a dictionary. "Die Referenz" would be correct.
Also to note, the American qualifiers for the tournament will start tomorrow and run until Thursday. There's a good mix of North and South American teams in the qualifier and the stuff that is planned for the broadcast…
Really a fantastic performance. The recording quality of both video and audio are excellent too.
You could try Fauxbar, which is a Chrome extension version of the Firefox Awesomebar. I really like it.
I see, that makes sense.
It's addressed, but in the wrong way. IEEE 754 has positive and negative infinity for a reason. Why do there have to be 255 zero values? Also, what about rounding modes? Floating point math is really, really hard and…
Modern C# and C++ both have facilities that make the languages much more concise (lambdas in combination with std::algorithm resp. LINQ, type inference and the like). Java 8 will also have some of that and I can see it…
The German names are all rather convincing, except for the sometimes lacking umlauts. (interestingly, only in the surnames) No one is called Jager here, unless they anglicized their name for some reason (Jäger is German…
I like Programming Praxis (http://programmingpraxis.com/), it has mostly algorithmic problems and the questions also include solutions.
With ((x | y) % 7) != 0), I get this result in Processing: http://i.imgur.com/K35xxI7.png I think I know what I'll do for the rest of the evening.
It's also great advice. I especially liked the part at the end about using simple and direct language and the active voice. This alone makes a paper much easier to digest even if the subject matter is hard.
The site crashes my browser (rather, the tab it's running in, Chrome 32) I see a loading bar, then I see something resembling a Spelunky level for a few seconds and then it crashes.
What do you even mean with that? Marking all JVM languages as unsafe? Marking JavaScript as unsafe (because it has so much to do with Java, right?) The issues Mozilla has with Java are limited to browser applets and the…
> One thing I would like to see: MS should ban FF because it is insecure :) Any follow-up on that? FF is, to my belief at least, one of the more secure browsers.
From what I've read in the Play documentation, this is intentional. [0] They say: > SQL is already the best DSL for accessing relational databases. I have no real opinion on the matter, as someone who doesn't like…
Brady Haran's videos are in general very good. All of his videos are in this style, concentrated on a single topic and in general shorter than ten minutes. I especially like the SixtySymbols channel (Physics and…
> Also note that there is a HUGE performance difference between appending and prepeding to a list. :-) If you're going to do a lot of appending, might I suggest a ListBuffer or a Vector?
Modern statically typed languages (cough cough not Java cough) generally have static type inference, which removes a lot of redundancy from the code. Being able to do val object = MyObject(someOtherObject(12, "hello"))…
