Am I the only one who hates that "social engineering" term (it's just a scam!)? It's like media's favorite "lone wolf" for a c**t who runs over people with a truck...

If it is a bot, it is a good one - perfectly pretending to be an insane person. Plus it has a sense of humor: "Q: oh, i just have a simple question then, How do your system works if i just want to print "Hello World" on my console? A: Actually it depends whom do you speak to. The reaction cannot be foreseen, everything depends which Lexical Clone you talk to, on its mood. And Clones constantly change: after each conversation they learn new. It prints 'I love you!'" :)

There will be part 2 (as promised in part 1). I've did some test and I can tell that GC is pretty quick even for large trees of small objects which survive GC cycle (worst case scenario for GC)... Friday though, time for a reset :laugh:

Lol, I'm not 100% sure "amen" actually works in English as it works in Polish. I meant: "You are damn right" :)

Amen.

No worries, I'm not gonna cry because of it ;) I just think that expressing opinions about something without checking it first is fundamentally stupid. And I hope that some people share my view.

So it goes like this: you decide to put significant effort into creating some technical information. You double check the facts, you pay attention to formatting etc. All of it after work. For free - just because you think you owe something to programming community... Then you share it... Sometimes someone says “thanks!” – and it’s enough! ...But from time to time there is this special person, he/she is either unable to comprehend written word or doesn't care to actually read the article before judging it. Don’t you just love such people? X| Here’s what I’m talking about: article comment

I like this site a lot. I can't complain about the features it has but I would like to see more strict moderation. Some "articles" look like drafts or are not informative enough to deserve a place on CP. CP should be a place for quality content only. This way the site will remain relevant and attract more people who are willing to spend a lot of time creating valuable and well formatted content...

As a person who lives in a former communist country where almost everything was state owned I can assure you that privately owned companies are way better for general well-being of the country. People tried nationalization in the past (or even currently - like in Venezuela) - it always leads to dismal failure.

Nice idea! How do you set it up?

This is a blog post so it's not well visible on CP but the tip is really useful for Tortoise SVN users: TortoiseSVN pre-commit hook in C# - Save yourself some troubles![^] Sometimes there's no other way to do the job than to have some some temporary change in code which should never get into repository. You think you will remember not to commit it, right? ;)

I didn't say that debugging is going to ensure conformance to business requirements. All I'm saying is that it is ridiculous to say that strongly typed programs don't need to be debugged. Strongly typed programs contain bugs too. And debugging (stepping through code with a debugger attached) is also a normal part of development. Sometimes its the only way to check what the program is really doing - cause the guys who wrote that +100K LOC (5 years ago) are no longer working at the company end documentation is almost non existing...

The fact that code compiles doesn't prove that business requirements are met. Strong typing makes live easier but it doesn't guarantee that program is doing what it should from end user perspective.

Is this a serious question?

That's why I wrote "directly and without plugins". TypeScript is nice but like other tools of its kind there's a drawback: you debug other code than you write :(

I'm in the middle of some serious refactoring (banking application)... Part of it is JavaScript code and the other part is C#. Whenever I do some changes in C# code I feel like in haven. Maintaining code (especially written by people who no longer work on the project) is soooo much easier within strongly-typed language. I just hope sanity will prevail and one day we will have a chance to write strongly-typed client side code too (directly and without plugins). And yeah, I like jQuery etc. but this recent blind love for JS is just scary...

Well mhmmm, just to check: are you really talking about Breaking Bad, the show about drug production?

Great article!
