And how did Javascript start? As a Netscape pet project. There is no Dart standards committee because Dart doesn't exist yet. There was no Javascript standards committee until long after it came out. Nobody will join a Dart standards committee until there's a Dart to look at. Python wasn't developed in the open until it was released, either. It was a 1 man project until he had reached some completeness and started asking for contributors. New languages just don't get built by standards bodies. Existing languages get updated by standards bodies...

Teach me your ways. I have VMWare WS8 here right now, and neither the 32 or 64bit versions run for me. I get the 32bit version far enough to see a blue screen with something like 'Setup Starting', but at that point it simply reboots the VM every single time. So, what are the settings you used to create the new VM?

You should download Pharo and build something non-trivial with it. Then, you will be ruined for life. :-) Smalltalk is just a joyful magical language in many ways but you cannot see it until you use it for a bit and really learn it. Then all other languages will feel awkward and clumsy.

FWIW, this error very poorly named and a common snag for people running a USB 3 controller and/or sata or ACHI devices that need so-called 'F6' pre-setup drivers. I got that error once while installing from a USB drive without a single fucking DVD or optical device on the computer. Instant rage.

This is a continuous integration server. Typically you run one of these things and point it to your source code repo and tell it how to run any automated tests you have. It sits there all day, every day, checking to see if there are any new check-ins and if so it tries to build them and run your tests. If it fails somewhere in there, it notifies all the developers somehow. It works really well to make sure someone didn't forget to add files before committing, or to make sure someone didn't forget to run automated tests before committing. It can be used for more as well (we use it to automatically deploy every passing build to our QA environment, for example). We've definitely found it simplifies a hell of a lot of confusion for us, and we're just a team of 6 developers.

Perhaps I'm missing something because your comment is out-of-context here, and it is odd that you have so many upvotes. However, taken at face value, your major claims seem to be either dubious "facts" without supporting evidence (superior design resulting from a TDD/BDD style of development), or simply wrong (equating integration testing, acceptance testing, and testing using a full code stack).

Cute, but completely illogical. In a typical TDD-style project, there are roughly as many lines of code invested in the tests as there are in the product. Your claim is effectively that you can't write *N* lines of code reliably without about *N* lines of test code to get them right, yet you can write *N* lines of test code without ever making a mistake.

And if your tablet needs a new HDD? Or your tablet has other mechanical failures? What about forensic work and corporate investigations? These kind of questions need to be answered before widespread corporate adoption. I don't mind tablets being giant PDAs, but to completely replace the tower desktop is not exactly something I would look forward to as IT or infosec (I'm not a programmer by trade). I think they and other people are being incredibly optimistic. But, adoption is besides the point. I imagined (or hoped) Win8 would be more segregated in its GUI (i.e. "old" win7 style v. new whatever-the-fuck-they-want style). I was hoping the "touch" stuff would bugger off if I wanted it to, but from what I'm reading it seems a lot more integrated than that. But, it's beta so hopefully that changes. I suppose I also don't see the huge appeal of being able to dock your "computer device" and also carry it around. Data is just data. If I want data I can access it on a storage medium (NAS, internet storage, a thumb drive, etc). This seems like an incredibly enormous "paradigm shift" for what *great gain*? I'm not being facetious. I'd seriously love to know what the amazing yields are that are worth this enormous effort to fuse these two different UX models?

Please, don't do that. Notch isn't a great programmer, he isn't even a good programmer. Minecraft with every version has more and more bugs. Requests from community aren't ever created or it takes really long time (actually every feature takes long time even if do this should take few minutes). There is some bugs that have been know from long time and nobody cares of it (like wooden slabs can be collect only with pickaxe). Performance is bad (not even because of java). Notch doesn't what to use OpenGL 2.0 or shaders or higher (MC uses OpenGL 1.1) because he wants to everyone could play, but at the same time Minecraft has so performance problems that you must have really strong hardware to run it smooth. Have (some) ideas like you're Notch? Yes! Code Like You're Notch? Never.

One ends in the letter 'S'. If you didn't include the apostrophe on OS's I don't think it would be *wrong*. But I believe it is the accepted preferred form. The only way to be 'wrong' about it - would be to flip between forms in the same document. Unless you're actually writing "Some people write OS's - but I prefer to write OSs." Hate to say it, but it is not a hard and fast rule. Sorry, my short reply was misleading in that regard. But what is English, but a huge collection of exceptions?

I, personally, used a program called [Macrium Reflect Free](http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx). I did a fresh install of Windows, installed all the programs I normally would on a fresh install (pidgin, vlc, office, etc) and all the available updates at the time and then crafted the image and stored it on my external hard drive. You boot up off a restore cd you burn with Macrium, navigate to the image file and point it at the partition you want it to restore the image to. Tadaa, fresh install of Windows in pretty much however long it takes to copy ~10-15gb from one hard drive to another. I'm sure there are other ways to achieve the same thing, this is just a free one I stumbled upon. Edit: Another tip, Steam lets you archive downloaded games and reinstall from those. Saves a lot of time if you keep a backup of those go-to games like TF2 and CS.

The realloc mechanism is a clib function and just does raw memory moves on it's success. Therefore fancy C++ move/copy constrictors will not be called. C++ could have specified a renew() operator to match the c realloc call but this was not done. Hence the reason for this article.

Imagine you are working on some tricky bit of code that you need help with. Wouldn't be nice to just walk over to someone's desk instead of checking in the file or emailing it to yourself? And of course I would love to be able to continue doing my real work while stuck in some stupid meeting. > I'd seriously love to know what the amazing yields are that are worth this enormous effort to fuse these two different UX models? Microsoft believes that all screens will be touch in the next few years and they need a good UI story for it. Plus they want to force developers to stop writing the slow, bloated crapware that we normally write. How many applications do you have running right now that are doing nothing but sucking resources? I've got half a dozen auto-updaters alone for stuff like Chrome and QuickTime.

In both this and the reddit article discussing the post that spawned it I've seen comments like yours. Honest question here: Did you read the article? I ask because neither of them said to create code that looks like Notch's. Neither of them said to look to his code for optimization or to learn or even for ideas. Yet everyone seems to be reacting as though this is what both authors were advocating. Instead, they're talking about learning from Notch's process: Hot-swapping code and other ways to reduce downtime, keeping domain knowledge, testing where possible, knowing when to keep features and when to throw features away. Are these all things we shouldn't do because a developer you don't like does them?

>Sure, MC has bugs after every major release, but they'll get fixed pretty fast. Minecraft has had significant bugs (especially in multiplayer) that have persisted through numerous versions now -- map problems, minecart problems, redstone issues, piston issues, TNT explosion issues, arrow issues, [the list goes on](http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Known_bugs). I will agree that they fix some of the new issues introduced with a new patch in a timely fashion but a far cry from all of them and the ones they don't get to in that timeframe just never get corrected.

Have you set the virtual machine hardware compatibility to Workstation 8? I used the standard Windows 7 install profile. 2GB Ram, 1 CPU (2 Core), CPU Virtualization engine set to automatic, 40GB HDD. My Host machine is Ubuntu 10.04, running a fairly old Intel C2D Q6600 If you want, this is my VMX file: http://pastebin.com/UGR3pYFJ EDIT: Just remembered, only thing I changed from the default Windows7 profile was that I removed the floppy drive, not sure if that would make a difference.

I have the developer tablet, and so far it's pretty damn spiffy, aside from a few hiccups that you would expect from pre-beta software. The Metro interface is definitely a change of pace; it essentially replaces your start menu, and is the first thing you see when you start up your machine.. btw it cold boots in about 8 seconds. I would go download it if you have a spare box and you're an app developer.

It's a lot easier with a touchscreen.. their whole idea is "touch first" UI, meaning kb/mouse are secondary. On the developer tablet you just press the pwr button and it goes to sleep. I'm sure you can switch it back to the classic start menu if you so desire.

Yeah, and not only that, but the C++ standard basically mandates that. It doesn't *technically* say what data structure has to be used for implementation, but it does say what operations must be supported and gives required bounds on their performance, and when you add it all together there is really only one choice.

It's okay. You'll find peace on Linux or OS X. If you're a gamer you'll be torn. You won't delete the iso and you'll rename it then hide it on some random disk. Eventually some amazing windows/xbox/ps3 game will come around and you'll want to play it on your box because the console just can't push the same level of graphics. You'll spend a whole evening installing and reminiscing, clicking through driver wizards, removing services and deleting bloatware. It'll be as perfect as a windows box can be. The game will be everything you had hoped for and when you're done you'll find your self spending less and less time booting up windows. Eventually, you won't touch your windows install for months and you'll make a hardware upgrade or remove it to make room for something else. Rinse. Wash. Repeat.

It's all about early promises to get people to hold off on iOS development and wait for the Microsoft product. It might be apocryphal, but there is a story about a computer maker (Wang?) that killed their current business by pre-announcing future products. I think that might be what Microsoft is trying to do to the iOS market now. I make my living writing Windows software, so it's somewhat painful to see Microsoft in their current state. Their best developers have mostly left the company either for startups or for Apple, Google, or Facebook. I don't think they have the talent to compete anymore.

Makes sense (as much as English can make sense). Cheers for the follow up.

Actually, it includes tools that a lot of us Windows devs are quite interested in. It certainly is related to programming and isn't out of place here at all.

we don't need native JS compilers man. We need object oriented hardware. If they made GPUs you can be as sure it can (should?) be done
