I'd argue than a condition flag in this case would introduce code bloat (declare, initialize, check in the loop construct) and decrease readability compared to a goto Label.

Different projects call for different standards of quality. A Christmas promotion might as well be spaghetti code if that's what it takes to get it out the door in time, but if you're doing say an RTOS or a foundation library then

You have too much choice until it comes to shipping your work to the public. Then you're at the various App Stores' mercy. The gate keepers may choose to postpone your approval indefinitely, and reserve their right to yank out y

So unless you're already an owner yourself, you'd better hurry up to be mid-grade meat lest your children will surely become mid-grade meat themselves. That's quite a decision for a 22 year old.

Is it me or is the content of this page annoyingly off-centered?

Not to mention how junky their webmail interface looks. With large image ads plastered all over, I just can't imagine looking at that every time I check my e-mail.

Maybe that's because the creators don't see their work as a "franchise" and are happy to have a vibrant community around their game without needing to milk it dry for money.

You get bigger if you eat more and you get smaller if you eat less. It's important to get all of fat, carbs, and protein for a balanced diet. Not saying that there isn't anything more to it, but for most people it really is this s

Yeah, nothing screams counter-culture like charging $19,000 for 3-month courses.

Your product sounds very invasive. I assume production apps could still include your analytics code and screencap my screen, tap my microphone, and spy on me with my phone's cameras. Your features page claims "Record audio and vi

Maybe there should be one umbrella corporation that owns all media sites, that way we could pay the umbrella corporation a monthly fee and be done with it.

Would you trust whatever peripherals you're near not to keylog all you type and screenshot all you see?

There seems to be a trend of singling out young successful professionals and publicly shaming them for page views. I think this is disgusting. Is it such a bad thing that young people who chose to work hard and get a valuable (and relevant)

> Twitter is the place where I laugh, whine, work, schmooze, procrastinate, and flirt. It sits in my back pocket wherever I go and lies next to me when I fall asleep. I can't for the life of me understand why people choose to publ

That's an interesting point of view. Do you think single player games may still be able to attain success in the current landscape?

Domain squatters are no better than investment bankers. They really do the same thing, they make money without creating anything useful.

Most CS graduates I know did the bare minimum to earn their major credits and that's it, avoiding any challenging courses like the plague. They'd rather study some unrelated intro-level elective than computation theory. No actual

No question about it. There's no difference between Quora and Experts-Exchange when it comes to SEO deception.

Why do all their URLs end with "-lyrics"? Because they're SEO spammers that's why.

Reading this made me realize what a thick skin you need to put your work out there and not be phased by such negativity. It's also a reminder about the high degree of entitlement software development outsiders have.

What I meant was that some people clearly never grow up past highschool. Instead of taking charge of their own lives, they choose to engage in childish games like bullying and name calling. They're still waiting for the teacher to bail

Nor does everyone need to be. Taking a walk through any city in the United States, one will observe millions of people leading healthy, productive lives doing work in a variety of fields, both blue and white collar.

Being a soft and easy target has to be part of it. It stands to reason that people who smash bus windows are the same people who used to beat up nerds at school when they were children. Some people set themselves up for a life of shit from

No sympathy for thugs and vandals. People who smash bus windows Friday morning have no place in civilized society. This has nothing to do with their employment situation. Why don't they go to the public library and learn some relevant

Don't tech employees pay the same income and sales taxes as anybody else? Every age has its booming industry, technology is our generation's. You can either accept reality and try to acquire relevant skills that are in demand, or

Exactly. They want a free lunch off the hard work of others. Otherwise they would have been on their way to work this morning, not vandalizing a bus.

Gotta love “TECHIES: Your World Is Not Welcome Here” I find it hard to sympathize with a bunch of lazy thugs who do nothing to improve their situation. Engineering and white collar jobs in general have always paid well. Industries who are
