Reliable type inference for JS is completely undecidable.

True | MehYam | null | Not to mention that storing pointers means you suddenly have to worry about managing their cleanup, which should be avoided at all costs. If you find yourself calling delete or free often in c++, you're doing it wrong.
Storing a vector of boost:: pointers is useful if you really want to avoid object copies. For objects of trivial composition (ie structs of primitives), don't bother win pointers. Also consider that vectors often just tick around and dont change size much. Also, the internal buffer can be preallocated if you know a reasonable end size for it.
**TL;DR** vectors of pointers are rarely worth it.

That’s *your* pet topic but not at all what Pollak was getting at, and thus yours is not the definition of “hard” at play for this discussion. It is (I think) a nice effort vis-à-vis shoehorning your dislike of Scala anywhere you think it might fit.

True | barneygale | null | I'm a little more familiar with minecraft's internals than the average player, but less so than modders and server administrators. I'm fortunate enough to rub shoulders with these folks and do the odd bit of mc development work myself, and I'd like to point out that **Mojang's testing cannot be considered thorough by industry standards**.
For those following minecraft, you'll note than 1.8 was released today. On friday, the first public pre-release came out, and yesterday the second was released. For the first time I started actually [documenting the protocol](http://wiki.vg/Protocol) with the help of others in #mcdevs on freenode. Here's some fun things we found, all new bugs:
* Chest state (open or closed) is sent *twenty times per second per chest*, even if the state hasn't changed. This equates to at least 10kB/s network traffic on a medium-sized server plus the processing the client does
* Same deal with the user list. Each user list packet contains the ping time for one user, and these are sent out twenty times per second per user.
* Experience orbs were broken in 1.8pre1 due to notch's *horrible, backwards use of OpenGL*. It was already known that dropped items cause serious framerate drops, and the inclusion of orbs made this worse. Multiplayer was unplayable. "So what?", you say, "this is a pre-release". This bug was supposedly fixed by jeb, but instead has resulted in [experience orb duping](https://gist.github.com/1213968)
* The new user list renders improperly with Max Players set above 60, and completely fails to render when Max Players is set above 127.
* The new food system has bugs too - if food saturation is above zero, you can happily not eat without your food decreasing. Only if you take damage will your food start to decrease.
* New player effects can easily be manipulated to [give users a speedhack](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyed2yMZqO0). The server-side stuff that used to detect this cheating has been completely removed.
* The new server list incorrectly assumes a server is up if it has been refreshed within 5s
The best bit is that mojang has *no bug tracker*. Currently the best thing we have is a [wiki talk page](http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Talk:Known_bugs/Version_1.8) that contains some **300kB of plain text** for 1.8 ALONE!
And I'm glossing over some of the more egregious bugs that went unfixed for many months. One of my personal favourites was the invisible player glitch - where some players were randomly invisible to others. I play on a player-versus-player server where this sort of thing was pure nightmare material. Imagine playing Halo 3 against an invisible sniper.
I'd like to qualify this whole post by pointing out I'm a huge fan of minecraft and mojang. They do some really great work and have created one of my favourite games ever. I can barely comprehend the amount of time I've spent on it and the good friends I've made. But their development process, QA, and relationship with the modding community continues to suck.
EDIT: I encourage anyone from a technical standpoint to have a look at [the protocol docs](http://wiki.vg/Protocol) and gaze in wonder. Also worth bearing in mind that the client's network handling is completely tied up with the physics engine and rendering. They all rely on one another - if one lags, so do the others. The server's model is even more lulsy, involving 4 threads being spawned for every user connected. The server I play on regularly accomodates 50 or more players, and I hear off our techadmins that a significant amount of server cpu time is spent context switching. | null | 0 | 1316026752 | True | 0 | c2jve8z | t3_kepcp | null | t1_c2jve8z | t1_c2joypp | null | 1427600050 | 21 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

I suppose the more I think about, the more concern I have as to what businesses will expect. Do you design your program to be robust or do you design it to be touch? Or do you have two UI layers? Do we just make a clean break with legacy support (.NET apps, traditional websites, traditional windows C/C++, etc)? It's an obvious use case that Adobe can tell people who want to use Photoshop as "touch" to bugger off (or create a sub-par touch version). I just have this nightmare of some asshole asking me to re-design dozens of integral, internal applications because he can't run them in touch mode.
Maybe I'm wrong. I haven't played with the new VS or Win8dev.

Without guest additions, when your host mouse is over your VM window, virtual box hides your host mouse curser and gives the movements to the guest.

If you're moving left across the screen and it "jumps out" on the left side, circle the mouse around to the right without crossing over the VM window. Enter the VM window from the right side and keep moving across to the left.

True | grauenwolf | null | > Do you design your program to be robust or do you design it to be touch? Or do you have two UI layers?
If you are building a Metro application, you need to design it for use with any of Touch, Keyboard, and Mouse. Do not assume that all three will be avaialble at the same time.
Do not build two user interfaces. A user should have the same experience with your application on a tablet as they do on their desktop application.
> Do we just make a clean break with legacy support (.NET apps, traditional websites, traditional windows C/C++, etc)? It's an obvious use case that Adobe can tell people who want to use Photoshop as "touch" to bugger off (or create a sub-par touch version).
Applications like Photoshop should not be rewritten in the Metro style. Metro is for light-weight, highly connected applications. It is not intended to replace large, complicated applications that are designed to do complicated things.
> I just have this nightmare of some asshole asking me to re-design dozens of integral, internal applications because he can't run them in touch mode.
If they are small applications with very specific purpsoes then Metro might be a really good fit. I would recommed converting one or two to see how you like it.
This is my summary of the situation. As you can see, there are a lot of limitations placed on Metro applications. You can use these limitations as an excuse to not port the application to Metro.
