I uninstalled skype the second it was bought by microsoft and turned into an advertising s***hole.
I could not be happier with the decision.

Twitter Inc. is making a major shift in how it counts characters in Tweets, giving users more freedom to compose longer messages. Good idea? Bad idea?

Thanks, man. Coming from a professional blurb-writer who is continually called upon to be quick-witted, I really appreciate that.

RethinkDB, an open-source database, wants to help developers prototype and build cross-platform, real-time Web, mobile and IoT apps. The company announced Horizon, a new open-source JavaScript platform, is coming out of a closed developer preview today.

There's a lot to love about Ruby – the sweet syntax, the focus on developer productivity and happiness, the mature ecosystem, and of course, the awesome community we built around the language. One thing that Ruby is not known for though, is being a particularly fast language. "Ruby Without Fear"

I think you posted with the wrong title.
It should be: "Introducing Helix. Rust + Ruby, Without The Glue."

I refuse to work in a programming language that provides something as nasty as method_missing and has a triple === operator.

That's what you get with "dynamic" languages. So, I guess you'd not like Python, JavaScript, etc.. either. BTW, you'd get a version of this behavior when using reflection in C# and Java and other reflective languages.

Nah. At least there is no triple equal operator.

Yup. If the member you're looking up doesn't exist you get null. If you try to use it, then NullReferenceException. You also get this sort of behavior when using C#'s dynamic.
I agree Ruby's === is assinine. Logical NOT? Why not just != like every other language. WTF?

Stick to C#. That's all I can say for now.

!= is pretty well limited to C-style languages.
VB has <>, as does SQL and Pascal.
Haskell uses /= (which kind of matches the mathematical operator, indeed Haskell supports ≠ directly).
Smalltalk uses ~=.
There's quite a wide variety. Get out more

I'm aware. Just that === is more like the mathematical equivalent, not "logical not".

In a Google Groups thread named "Intent to implement: HTML5 by Default," the Google developers have announced initial plans to implement a new feature in the Chromium core that will disable the playback of Flash content by default and use HTML5 instead, if available. Take that, Flash.

YEAH!

I propose a more visual syntax and a keyboard-usable UI for generating regular expressions. One man's take
|
|
|
|

I absolutely agree that regex's are typically not good for reading. Great in uses such as search/replace, but for not so hot for use in code.
One of the things I liked about Microsoft's (discontinued) MGrammar project was that they just used the same syntax for lexical and syntactical constructs, so matching an identifier looked like:
Upper = 'A'..'Z'
Lower = 'a'..'z'
Letter = Upper | Lower
Digit = '0'..'9'
IdFirst = Letter | '_'
IdRest = IdFirst | Digit
Identifier = IdFirst IdRest*
While a bit more verbose, it rendered the result much more readable.

With the release of Linux 4.6, here's a look at some of the features we can hope to see merged over the next two weeks once the Linux 4.7 merge window opens. And the crowd cheers as the tortoise takes another step!
