You're parsing the sentence wrong. The commas are supposed to be read like this: "**UNIX:** _its_ free, open-source variant, Linux, powers many of the world’s data centers, like those at Google and Amazon**;** and _its_ technology serves as the foundation of operating systems, like Apple’s iOS, in consumer computing de...

I use the DI pattern in my code precisely for that. Example: WebPageFoo needs to load a list of Accounts from the DB. It does so via a service conforming to the required interface provided via dependency injection. At test time, I can easily provide another implementation via DI that returns data for the unit testing ...

Zoho notebook is a good replacement. You can import from google notebook with their tools. There's bookmarklets and browser extensions to make getting further data in there nice and easy too. Evernote is another replacement worth looking at seriously.

That sort of macro is essentially an embedded DSL, with all the framework necessary to deal with it in user code, rather than in runtime.

The horrific syntax :) It's not only about being able to do something, but how natural it is to do it.

By contrast in Lisp, meta-programming feels natural, and it's a c...

Small market yes, but WP7 users download more than 5 times the apps of iPhone users and there is also less apps to compete against. XNA supports a shader model of 3.0 and there are some good built in pixel shaders but it isn't hard to write your own and inject them either... XNA is also fucking awesome to use!

Small market but WP7 users download more apps, also ads pay more per view and there are less apps to compete with. XNA is an amazing api which supports SM 3.0 and while there are some very good built in shaders you can just as easily write your own and inject them.

I realize we take it as gospel that "learning X language makes you a better programmer". However, I'm not sure that I agree completely. Learning a functional language (F#) certainly made me better in the *functional* idioms of other languages - using lambdas in C# now feels much more natural. However, my PL/SQL code ha...

I don't think you've actually used any of the modern Lisps. Common Lisp has CLOS (a ridiculously powerful object system) and most Schemes have their own object systems.

vb and especially vba were never created for programmers. it's intended as a simple tool to crack a simple problem - just like bubble sort and insertion sort. if you need a better sort algorithm you probably need a better framework anyway.

Gotos are fine. As Ken Thompson said... if you wanna' go somewhere, goto is the best way to get there. Seriously though, it's useful for functions that have multiple quick return failure points. Instead of writing your cleanup code before every "return", you'd just have a goto label at the bottom called "fail:", which...

No. No, they're not. Appropriate use of a goto is not bad at all. Using a goto to implement your own, say, while loop, when the language already provides one, isn't appropriate. Common cleanup code at the end of a function is. If the cleanup is freeing memory, using garbage collection is even more appropriate, but that...
