Once again, I think that's more of a statement on how he achieves his goals, not how he arrives at goals in the first place. For instance, there's an inherent conflict between freedom and security. The government and the peopl

By "vague statements" I was referring to his comments on "America winning" or "being great again." Does Art of the Deal describe those statements in detail?

by Locke1689 10y ago
This is the Art of the Deal : 1. Think big 2. Protect the downside and the upside will take care of itself 3. Maximize your options 4. Know your market 5. Use your leverage 6. Enhance your location 7. Get the word out 8.

I see no contradiction. You seem to believe that either winning elections or making money are satisfactory demonstrations of intelligence (as meant by IQ, or g ). I do not. I would be happy to reconsider if he released a simple IQ test, or

> figures based on Forbes estimate of his net worth. You know Forbes is just a business magazine, and just a small one at that? They don't have any privileged information. They probably just based their reporting on his self-report

Except that all the numbers on his net worth are based just on his word and he's clearly a serial liar. Interestingly, I think the fact that he's quite stupid may be how he succeeded at the presidential election. An intelligent, p

Read the source for the compiler and find all the differences. There are constantly minor semantic changes, like numeric conversions, double parsing, scope of generated temps in for loops, delegate conversions, Nothing, etc. I just started

The breakdown of the rule of law is probably worse in that it will contain all the aforementioned, and more.

The difference between populism and democracy is that populists always claim to speak "for the people" even if the people are divided. They'll even take action against the majority and simply claim that all the "real&quo

You are the one who imputed that 'cmurf referred to all parties named the Republican Party, rather than the more logical interpretation as the current party named the Republican Party.

This is simply not true. I was there when my entire org got rid of its test team and the people who stayed were not more likely to be H1B holders. If anything, the reverse was true.

I wouldn't say that's what most people mean by parallel, but in that case I think you're better off building a layer on top of the compiler for that. For instance, provided deterministic compilation you could keep a networked

I don't agree. Before we moved to Git, Roslyn was on TFS, which was basically Perforce/CVS/SVN. You're absolutely right that the distinction among the former VCS's is minimal. However, Git offers value that was tran

Most of the .NET repos are structured to use inner and outer loop testing with Jenkins. Most tests on most architectures are run in the inner loop, which are kicked off in parallel as soon as you make a pull request to one of the .NET repos

It depends on what you mean by parallel. Certainly the Roslyn C# compiler is highly parallel. All files are parsed in parallel, then all classes are bound (semantically analyzed) in parallel, then the IL serialization phase is sequential.

You can get that in VS via the Interactive Window (View->Other Windows->C# Interactive). Theoretically you could implement a completion system for the terminal but we reused the WPF editor layers for the completion system rather than

Arenas have fast allocation (because you often have no freelist and just increment the end). They also allow you to quickly reclaim old data, which is important for a database because a query might run long enough for the allocated memory

I think the only point being made by the article is that their focus seems to be on pause times above all else.

These tests don't seem to specifically test GC, so it doesn't seem to be a good comparison. Comparing Go and C# as languages don't seem to be the goal of this exercise, either. Instead, the article was making the point that t

The following statement from the article addresses this: As Go is a relatively ordinary imperative language with value types, its memory access patterns are probably comparable to C# where the generational hypothesis certainly holds and th

The terminal doesn't support as many features, but I can say I have yet to segfault it -- which I can't say any day this week for cygwin or MSYS mintty. Note: MS employee, doesn't work in Windows division.

This is just classic FUD. The probability of being harmed in a terrorist attack is tiny and the probability of any given immigrant being a part of a terrorist attack is also tiny. This is a mountain out of a mole hill. You'd be better
