Well, first name is a name, last name is a name, hence... 
Don't be so harsh on this guy, I bet it's just an accident. Writing code without the help of statement completion and squiggles is hard these days. But, yes, bad example. I think it's more useful for things like (TResponse response, TState state), or to get rid of out.

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

"Cosmologists should be more skeptical of dark matter" [^].
"The sobering fact is that either 96 per cent of the Universe is unknown to us or we are completely wrong about the way we think the Universe works. Either way, cosmology is far from finished: we have a lot to work out." An interesting brief essay that questions the entire current scientific mainstream "quest" for dark energy/dark matter. I found the mention of Francis Bacon's (1620) epistemological paradigm, the four "idols of the mind," fascinating.
Aeon, Stuart Clark: "Stuart Clark is an astronomy journalist and the author of several books about space, both non-fiction and fiction, including The Unknown Universe (2008). He writes the blog Across the Universe for the Guardian."

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Pretty much everything I love in Perl 5 is still part of Perl 6, but almost everything I hate is gone too. My bar for "fun" is set a little higher

A lot of exciting things are coming out of the .NET Managed Languages team for Visual Studio 2015 Update 1. Who needs a Setup Wizard now? We've got an interactive window!
I kind of thought we already had that, but I guess this is different from the Immediate window.

Yay! Finally support for K&R style[^] in C# properties/events/accessors. I don't know how many hours I've spent wasted just to get the parenthesis of those members "right". This feature alone is worth the update.

Nothing wrong with it.  The good thing is that the IDE doesn't get in the way of K&R people anymore and now kind of respects whatever style we prefer (or have to obey due to guidelines). It's an improvement that has long been overdue.

Physical distance determines how the bad behaviour of managers spreads to employees, research shows. Not true! I sit 420km from my nearest boss, and I'm a lousy worker.
What a strange coincidence about that distance...

No, that is the point, you work your way and it is efficient. No need to work the way your boss says.

Quote: "If someone kicks a dog right in front of you, it’ll make you very mad," said Gijs van Houwelingen, a researcher at the Rotterdam School of Management in the Netherlands.
"But if you hear about someone somewhere in the world kicking a dog, you probably won’t feel as mad about it."
Can you take anything a Pysch/Sociology researcher who has never heard of a social media lynch mob says seriously? I can't.

Code is for communication. Good code is clear code. Clever code is crap. "Whoever knows he is deep, strives for clarity; whoever would like to appear deep to the crowd, strives for obscurity."

Unless you work alone and even then, often true.

True - in that case you're communicating with yourself in six months (when your - or at least my - usual reaction is, "What idiot wrote this code?")

Six months? How about six minutes between the time you write and the time you debug it?

Forgetaboutit! I've seen places where coding by obscurity makes you a "lead architect". Hell, when no one know what the f*** is it you wrote, it makes you indispensable.
