Well, did you expect to see a "WARNING! WE NOW WILL ATTEMPT A POTENTIALLY OFFESIVE JOKE" written in red print? Those things are supposed to be spontaneous, you know.

Believe me, friend, I have experienced discrimination. My entire family has. They have been driven away from their home because of their nationality. Then I was mocked and humiliated by other kids as the-kid-who-cant-speak-our-language. The

So? It's not hurting anyone. You know, there is a difference between an ad for a geek event that no one cares about and a woman not getting a job because she's a woman. These are not the same things.

This was not sexism. It was a poor attempt at humour.

I think some people should loosen up. Yes, it's a bad unfunny joke. But it's not that big a deal.

I have a feeling of deja vu, I think I've seen this link here on HN before.

1.5 years on Arch here and I pretty much refuse to use any other distro on my laptop. Great work.

>Linux won't be ready until you can download a file from the Internet, run it, and install it just with a couple clicks (and not "you need to set the 'exectuable' flag!" error). That way of installing software has to go. Seriously. Stop

Oh my god, this is so sad. What has the Linux-on-desktop world come to? "You can manage your windows with it" is actually an advantage. On a lighter note, if there is still hope, it lies in the little not-so-popular desktop environments lik

I second that. I've worked for three years in a company where code review was mandatory for EVERYTHING and all I can say is that it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Ah, "blub"... the trusty indicator of a brainwashed pg fanboy. Look, I know that something has been written in lisp, still it is not the kind of software that people use (directly or indirectly) every day and you know it. Plus, you're ju

C++ (and other mainstream languages, for that matter) excels in the aspect that you can actually write useful software with it. Yet, to the date, there are exactly zero useful pieces of consumer software (e.g. browsers, office suites, vid

For one, it is horribly slow. I do not know for a fact that its slowness is caused by C++ as a language or by the quality the programmers who wrote Monotone... but it is slow nevertheless and that is all I know. By contrast, git is extreme

I've used Monotone. It's pretty horrible if you ask me.

That's... that's just so sad. And so infuriating.

Hell yes, that's what I'm talking about. We need good tools in nice, statically typed, native languages to make web applications!

It's a matter of personal preference, really. As long as you can be productive with it and ship a product, go for it. Personally, I'm disgusted by both of those languages, but you can't deny the fact that people create useful with them. Aft

So, can "outsiders" like myself submit solved problemsets for grading?

by javadyan 15y ago
All I can say is, I can write C++ code that will not surprise me with unexpected copies, contain huge memory problems, or surprise me greatly with the memory model.Stop whining and learn to use your tools, goddamit.

You can replace C++ with almost any other mainstream language in the above paragraph and it would still hold true. Problem is, contemporary general-purpose languages are used for such a wide range of different tasks that it is simply imposs

Any useful language is a freaking enormous ball of mud. Bjarne said: there are only two kinds of languages - the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.

I don't think universities should teach this. This is not science.
