They created at Atari a night shift just for him (he was the only employe of this team) to do the same work than the others. This answers the question.
"instead of using horrible, ancient tools" (JavaScript=1995, HTML 5 spec=2014) "use capable systems languages like C" (Objective-C=1982, C=1972, Java=1994). WTF?
Maybe but if you use real DOCTYPE such as <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> then you will see huge difference in rendering.
Maybe he makes money also with the 50 pages displaying ads you have to visit before to be able to download the file.
But this does not detract from the qualities of the software, that I use daily.
For the Windows question, I must advise that it is not limited to Visual Studio or Cygwin. I use MingW daily and have a experience similar to that of GCC or Clang on Linux. CLang runs also on Windows but lacks a linker for now and uses that of MingW or VS.
If you want not use Angular or another other framework, a fully functional autocomplete may be made with 10 lines of JavaScript. See demo: http://www.scriptol.com/javascript/autocomplete.php
Adding a scrolling list of choices would requires two or three more lines.
It is common when a new language appears to authors to see similarity with their own language. Actually, most of the features of Swift were already implemented in some older language. Extended pattern matching for example exists in Scala.
That is the description of Python, Ruby, Scriptol and some others. But programmers moving from Python to Go, shows that experienced programmers are often more concerned about execution speed, even at the cost of work time.
I guess what Matt said to Haughey: your site looks like a content farm, lot of posts have poor content, filled with lots of links, none of them have backlinks so it was hit by Panda. Even if there is a lot of good pages on the site according to someones, it is enough to have also a lot of shallow pages to get caught.
Google is a good search engine so such the question that you query has been asked on Stackoverflow. Otherwise you will go nowhere...
And the way they evaluate the "quality" of a site by a simple mathematical formula is a joke. We have the same feeling that Larry about the search engine!!!
The federal circuit found Alsup was confusing a ruling about fair use and copyright. It made clear the copyright must be established at the act of creating, not at the act of using. But some think it is a misinterpretation of the district court ruling.
The federal circuit ruled that an API is a "creative" work and thus is copyrightable. But is it really creative? It is an interface and made according some rules, not some sort of art... I must point out I have read the 28 pages ruling.
Your comment contradicts itself: "Asm.js is a JS subset" and "V8 isn't implementing Asm.js in any way.".
It is fully implemented, of course, it is only the "use asm.js" directive that is not. That prevents some control to signal non asm.js code in a JS file, and only that.
Maybe the argument is right, but Eric Schmidt was replaced by Larry Page on April 4, 2010 and G+ was launched on September 20, 2011. So the former can not be responsible for how G+ works. What he failed was to not have created a social network sooner.
I had a rather critical view of D at first. Another C like again, we never get rid of these bracket-oriented languages! Then came Go and Rust, and my opinion has changed, I see it more favorably, as it does not seem to be the worst of them.
I believe you have not read the article entirely. The principle is not to twist the line to contract the muscle, that is made with an actuator, the principle is to apply a current to a mechanically twisted fiber to contract it and produce a movement.
Pharmaceutical not equal doctors. The former is not funded by doctors but by the patients. So it will be better to extend medicaid to more people to fund the former...
We should build a list of all the Gimp drawbacks somewhere. I would add for example: why several steps are involved to create a new image with a transparent background? I always create new images like that.
Even if D is a lot better than Rust, Go or others about the style, I am amazed it is a concern for the author. Besides that, good advices to a candidate language author.
I believe the point is in the conclusion and the content leads to the conclusion: If you change your mind, you may start to see the advantages of Node, that is not possible if you continue to think with older models in mind.
I recently discovered someone patented the android robot (granted in 2013) and other functions of robots such as walking. So I am not surprised.

Maybe because in incognito mode you are not tracked, so you can not have contextual ads. Apparently, the service do not try to serve non-contextual-ads at all.
