Correction to the statement that the Samsung Galaxy of a swiss girl has caught fire:
Miss Schlatter's battery was later subject of an investigation, and it turned out that Samsung never sold the type of battery found in her phone. Even though it may be possible that some Galaxys catch fire, in case of Miss Schlatter it was completly her fualt, since she didn't use an original battery.

In a world where everyone is expected to learn to code, why wait until kids can read and type to start teaching computer science? It’s an important question a startup called Primo is asking, and if their Kickstarter campaign is successful your child will have her first exposure to algorithms right after nap time and just before recess. Why not? Some developers' heads are made of the stuff

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?

We’re excited to announce the first release of Scala.js, v0.1! Scala.js was introduced during the 4th Scala Days in June 2013, and has now reached relative stability. While we don’t yet feel that Scala.js is production-ready, we think that it nonetheless deserves its first non-snapshot release. Because in the future, all code will compile to JavaScript

Adam Ralph has a list of the probable C# 6.0 features Mads Torgersen covered at new Developers Conference() NDC 2013 in London.
I thought it would be fun to show some before and after syntax for comparison and in doing so ended up with a few thoughts and questions. "Reply hazy try again"

I'm still learning C# so don't understand some of that, but the "Monadic null checking" seems like a pretty neat feature.

So I must be the only person on the world that thinks it's less readable and not that usefull...
|
|

I'm a bit meh on the syntax, I'd've preferred something like:
var bestValue = points.FirstOrDefault().X ??? -1;
Where the ??? operator would handle a null at any point in the object tree; but the option they chose is a bit more flexible and I suppose there are some cases where in A.B.C if B is null you might want a different behavior than if A or C are. Can't think of any, but I'm sure they exist.

Yeah, but it doesn't let you specify a default value, does it?
Well, i guess i could write A?.B ?? -1, but does that make it more readable? I personally prefer less operators.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes it does. The -1 at the end of the line in my ??? proposal and in MS's implementation are both the default value.

I see, I didn't notice the -1 on my first read.

It may be less readable to the uninitiated but it's more concise and its use will lead to less coding errors.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

you sure it wont lead to a replacement of the dot?
I think that just encourages people to not care if something has gone wrong.
