In Minecraft's unusual case, it was already seriously de-risked when the first few employees were hired. The additions however, did keep the momentum going, and deserve a cut for that. Jeb immediately comes to mind.

It doesn't include monkey parts, I promise! It's just a name for a mixture of a whole bunch of ingredients, notably onions and chutney. Here's a recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/monkey-gland-sauce-26601

Interesting. I have a penchant for dipping my fries into mayo, too. I'm from South Africa. Perhaps my Dutch genes contributed to that... The inevitable mixture of monkey-gland sauce with mayo when eating steak, is well, nothing short o

First off, this is awesome. With enough focus and effort you could really turn this into a stellar product that I would use daily. I manage my most of development through GitHub. Unfortunately, the processes around getting user input and bu

Hah! Only when the difference in performance is end-user discernible. I do make sure the code is well crafted in those bounds though. There's no _valid_ excuse for crafting ugly code. Coincidently my stuffed toy that I have kept throug

I know better than the compiler how my data is used. It is really simple as that. I can optimize with the totality of the program in mind while the compiler optimizes on heuristic like `order largest to smallest`. So yes, the compiler is do

Rust does structure packing automatically. This is great for the general programmer (someone who is not knowledgeable or caring about details like this.) Unfortunately, this blows for people who do (someone like me.)

Unfortunately it is not as simple when you have to account for different threads on different cores accessing the same structure, as mentioned in the article. [1] Or the performance implications of managing multiple instances of structures.

This was the bane of our (backend developers) existence at an Elixir startup. Even if you maintained typespecs--good luck!--and signatures it was still a nightmare.

I wonder if this is Bezos doing what he normally does, vertically integrating--Amazon Newspapers?

Thank you. Every supportive comment leads me closer to finishing it, knowing it would be enjoyed.

Interesting. I have caught myself, on more than one occasion, extrapolating our current economy and politics to similar end-states recently. I think such views are the more realistic--or perhaps just the pessimistic--flip-side of the post-

As Arelius mentioned, it is more performant to just keep an array of alive objects as you're only touching memory that needs to be touched. That said, however, bitvictors/bitsets are incredibly useful if you have no easy or clean

Interestingly the average salary for "computer systems design and programming" has gone down whilst the number of jobs have gone up. Says a lot about the motives of the "altruistic" individuals who permeate the myth that

Just force yourself to read two pages of some classical text of choice every day; even if you stop after the first couple (highly unlikely) you're still progressing through the text. The sense of accomplishment comes later, when I pond

You can do all of those now, even with only an hour a day; I do.

You should definitely check out bgfx ( https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx ). It abstracts various graphics APIs for you, making development and debugging markedly easier. It also stops you from having to deal with the com

Too bad Sony is chucking everything not in their core business model overboard so they don't sink. That includes gaming.

And every time you try to explain this to those who will be affected (software engineers) they argue that the movement is alturistic, or that they can't be replaced even though they're just maintaining a simple CRUD app...
