I work at Sony R&D

I remember the Vita, but only because I'm surrounded by the things.

Open a drawer? There's probably 8 of them lying around.

Thank you so much!

Someone posted an article a while back about working to calculus using functions, I think it was titled something like "If Socrates knew functions"? I'm not sure. Does it ring a bell for anyone?

C# has the same issue really, although we do it use for some other tooling and whatnot as we're a .NET shop.

Don't know much Ruby or Python to be honest so I'm not sure how could I apply them but I'll dig around sometime soon.

Agree on that one, it's really verbose and ugly. I liked the idea of a cmd that integrates so nicely with .NET but I don't think it worked out this time.

We use powershell a lot at work for developer setup stuff and other common tasks we do on a daily basis and at this point I've considered just writing my own language to do it or find something else.

I really enjoy watching videos like this for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EeTfiBWZzU

It's not quite the same but I felt it's relevant.

I think reddit gets kind ofh ard to follow for conversations. It's really good for content aggregation, but I much prefer 4chan (and any other chan etc) for conversations. Though I think in the end thats more to do with the functionality than the UI. You definitely need an extension to use 4chan seriously but the same can be said for reddit.

I've said all this but either is INIFNITELY better than twitter, especially twitter's standard web client. TweetDeck makes the thing barely useable.

Hmm, unrelated but I hadn't realised you had laws at the county level too in the USA. I assumed it was federal and state only.

I call it out in CRs when I see it and I've been fixing any of these I come across in code at work.

I'd rather a compiler forces me to put braces around everything than let people have the opportunity to do something like the latter from my original comment.

I just have a problem with the mixing of braces on an if/else chain I guess. I don't know how to explain it clearly, it just rubs me the wrong way?

I don't find something like the below frustrating really

if (a)

    ...

else

    ...

But for some reason I find the below _very_ frustrating. It feels misleading and I find it to be very, very ugly.

if (a)

    ...

else {

    /* Multi line block */

}

Visual Studio is more bloated than IntelliJ or Eclipse? Absolutely not.

When I had the displeasure of using IntelliJ it would use 1.2GB RAM for a fucking 5 file project. Debugging would then use another 1GB RAM.

Visual Studio uses 1GB RAM with a 150 project solution open, and it opens said solution about as fast as IntelliJ opened that tiny project.

Adding something like Resharper (by your beloved Jetbrains) will make Visual Studio bloated and slow.

Of course, I went straight to amazon after the experience with Asus customer support and got a full refund in an hour.

I had a poor experience with them in the UK. The hinge snapped on my ultrabook (I don't remember the exact model as the codes are obscure.) E-mailed support, provided plenty of pictures of the issue. Keep in mind I only owned the thing for 6 months so still in warranty.

Best they would offer is an out of warranty repair.

I know someone with the same model, exact same problem happened to him.

Horrible build quality and support.

Yeah from what I've seen I've noticed he jumps around a lot putting out fires when he changes anything. Like I said in another reply, he's too far in the camp of C++ being C with classes.

I think the sad thing will be people are learning C/C++ from him and so will try and program anything in these languages like this.

I agree with things like these, I think Casey and other programmers like him are too far in the camp of C++ is just C with classes.

From what I have seen of the code and videos, I think his general structure of programs is off. I'm no advocate of "every function has to be at max N lines" or "every file has to be smaller than N lines". But I think there are issues there, and I don't think it can be defended just because it's a game, where a lot of general practices go out the window.

Out of interest, why do you think the Handmade Hero code is atrocious?

I haven't kept up with it so I don't have much of an opinion.

>only `i32`, `u8`, `i16`

While these are not new ideas - Why not use s32 rather than i32 and so on. Makes more sense if you use something like u32 too.

I think it's important when making another language to really question everything you do in it. Why use this operator, or why use this mnemonic for built in types?

Since it's based on Google metrics - what are the stats like for countries where Google is not the most popular search engine? E.g China, Russia and Japan.

Huh? From your article:

I should say right away, I haven't found anything crucial and I think there are three reasons why PVS-Studio hasn't found serious bugs

The rest of the article doesn't seem to back up your claim really. It even says "The code is of high quality."

Regardless I agree the article isn't very good, serious or otherwise. If it is serious it uses one anecdotal piece to make a sweeping claim on the productivity of programmers across nations...

I don't see why it's <condition> if <statement> and so on.

Seems they want to be SVO just for the sake of it, and not because it's actually a good idea.

For something that wants type safety like Scala, they don't seem to have put much thought into their type system which is pretty fundamental.

Statements like point = Point x, y is confusing. Is it the same as Point (x), y?

Respect either way however, not many people even get to this point with their own language.

Hosted on sourceforge ugh. Seems quite a few of these open source revivals have been written in Java (possible mild confirmation-bias here.)

I was there recently for a couple of weeks for work. Pretty ugly place to be honest, but like you say people are very friendly. Our office there had female dev but the general gender ratio there seemed heavily skewed towards women.

I wouldn't be fussed about going back.

My company (UK) has an office in Romania. There are devs there too and they're pretty good, competent at least.

Unsurprisingly we have no more client help-desk team here in London and it's in Cluj now...

Sources would be nice.

Re: the privacy, didn't they put these in 7/8 anyway? I swear I saw some things about them doing that in an update. Perhaps it was just something they were thinking about?

I use 10 at work, honestly it's not bad. I haven't upgraded on my home machines though...

I wonder what the android experience is like in VS? I had to do android studio stuff at uni about 7 months ago and it was awful.
