Am I the only one who just skips the search engines and go straight to the source? If I want factual information, I just go to Wikipedia and use their search. If I want to shop I'll go to respected online stores and again use their i

Because game code is "throw away" = don't assume you are making a sequel = there's no reason to make it maintainable. You write it as fast as you can to fulfil the requirements. Stuff like unit/system tests are a

I set a timer that goes off every 45 minutes. At which point I'll walk around for a couple of minutes and do some push ups and pull ups. In the mornings I walk my daughter to school: 25 minutes exercise. At lunch time I'll take a

As a Python programmer I completely agree. Only last week I started to look into C# and the cross platform capabilities. I have to say it looks really good these days. Wish I learnt C# years ago now...
