M8··on Grade Inflation at American Colleges and Universities

What if you infuse your papers with some minority and gender studies crap (even if it's not related)? Wouldn't it improve your grade?

M8··on Grade Inflation at American Colleges and Universities

"...find a class of morons, get seen as a superstar."

I am assuming there are entrance exams as well.

M8··on The male suicides: how social perfectionism kills

"we are kinda equal"

Which gender legally gets the kids, house and alimony in +90% of divorces?

M8··on The male suicides: how social perfectionism kills

Real title: "How a cheating wife killed her loyal husband and took all his stuff and the kids in a 100% legal and socially-approved way".

M8··on The male suicides: how social perfectionism kills

In case anyone still wonders, what did the husband do wrong, how could he make his wife's life better (since either he or society is to blame, obviously), check some of the stories here:

PS: some of the people there are really frustrated though - beware of sweeping generalizations.

M8··on Show HN: Game development collaboration platform. Make games together

I bet something along the lines of "Like ..., but for game developers!"

M8··on Samsung is imploding in China

Google is on the forefront of bundling crapware. Why do I need freaking Cloud Print, Google Docs and other crap I did not ask for explicitly? I did not ask for it. Only expect two things by default: the store app and Chrome.

M8··on Did I ever mention that I fucking hate the fucking web

And the web is completely "open" and unlike "walled" proprietary platforms you have no choice of a programming language whatsoever (PS: fuck your transpilation).

M8··on Anti-Patterns Every Programmer Should Be Aware Of

Well people have kids all the time yet they come out more or less all the same. If you want to re-invent - go ahead and do it. Who knows, it might turn out great.

M8··on The Mind of Marc Andreessen

I doubt the subj man himself would read it. Would probably ask an assistant to summarize.

PS: maybe authors are paid per word?

M8··on A Java EE Startup: Filtering information with zeef.com

They probably care about maintainability though.

M8··on Magnetic field applied to brain increases acceptance of false statements (2008)

Not sure, article is about people who have a brain. Brain usually prevents from buying Beats.

M8··on Unison: a next-generation programming platform

Will it have e.g. unsigned floating point types or it's the same old match-to-hardware approach?

PS: might be a false dychotomy but then next-gen is an exaggeration.

M8··on David Cameron Wins a Slim Majority in UK General Election

Well, at least there won't be too much overspending. So it worked out well this time.

Any democratic system is flawed - e.g. letting both tax-generators and tax-consumers vote.

M8··on Ask HN: What is the make up of a good software engineer/developer?

"...have the ability to adjust to different environments..."

Likewise being able to know when a new technology is just a short-living fad despite being popular.

M8··on The Earl Grey programming language

What level of automated refactoring and IDE integration does it offer?

M8··on Why you should have a programming blog

Not persuaded.

M8··on Ask HN: Why do many people assume there's no such thing as programming talent?

Also companies like Facebook and Google simply want to have access to a bigger pool of developers to reduce the compensation costs. Hence promoting the idea that everyone can program: http://code.org .

M8··on Why functional programming matters (1990) [pdf]

"The answer on this one depends on whether one is a proponent of statically typed languages or not, clearly an unresolved question" - I have yet to see a static-to-dynamic transpiler ;-).

M8··on Ask HN: Why am I having a hard time finding a new job?

That's great, at least those 30+ will be safe from working in your "passionate" company. I mean you just have to open-source everything you are working on these days, right? And who cares about BitBucket, only mainstream things are "cool".

PS: can you point me to Google's latest search algorithm on GitHub? Thanks.

M8··on Material Design on the GPU: Text Rendering

Apple and Google had to add shadows and background blurring to avoid people pointing out that they are following Microsoft's design.

M8··on Intent to Implement: SIMD.js

Is it useful to Android? Isn't ARM NEON different?

M8··on Death of a Programmer, Life of a Farmer

In the end, if society doesn't collapse, farming will be automated.

M8··on Death of a Programmer, Life of a Farmer

Some of the computation is "trapped" inside of the bone box with no screens. Yet only that computation makes any complexity meaningful.

M8··on Death of a Programmer, Life of a Farmer

And that is why our species is present on all continents.

M8··on 40 Busy Years Later, Paul Allen, a Microsoft Founder, Considers His Creation

Is it his creation still? What makes it so - several thousand lines of legacy code or the name of the product?

M8··on Pony – High Performance Actor Programming

It looks good, but is language alone enough these days? Reminds me of Axum C# research dialect. Microsoft decided to implement it as a framework in the end - Orleans. So did Scala. And wouldn't F# + Akka.NET be just as safe?

M8··on Introducing F# 4.0

> Not everyone is ... working on mobile apps

M8··on TrueCraft, An Open Source Implementation of Minecraft 1.7.3

... which is superior to Java in almost every way.

M8··on Introducing F# 4.0

I don't like the terseness, the global inference and the syntax. Can read it (unless there are custom operators) but cannot write it. Would love to have Scala on CLR: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/9095/what-are...
