Two 14-year-old Canadians hacked a Bank of Montreal ATM after finding an operators manual online. The manual showed how to gain administrative control of the device, according to a media report published over the weekend. "Please insert your stolen card now"

Quote: Kids with operators manual Dang. For a moment I thought you were saying there is a manual for kids themselves. Wishful thinking.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

First line support manuals are written for kids!
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Even Linus Torvalds, one of the most influential computer scientists alive today, doesn’t believe everybody should learn to code. Well, that's decided then

Not everyone should _be allowed_ to sing either, but it's happening all the time. See American Idol, The Voice, etc. Software Developer's especially should refrain from singing.

After experiencing my second ever karaoke night, I definitely agree with your sentiments.

but I can sing. My voice doesn't sound like thunder, so I guess that's pretty much okay.
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

It's hard to find a girl who can't sing, so you are not really an exception.

You have meet a few girls yet... I have four of them at home and believe me - they can't sing...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

You're welcome
I must confess it's not totally mine, I took it from a french humorist, sadly deceased now.
His name is Pierre Desproges.
Glad to have made you smile

Microsoft officials are counting on consumer services around OneDrive, OneNote and Skype to translate into demand for the enterprise complements of those services. That strategy worked quite well for them with Windows (and Excel)

There are a lot of developers that use C# every day and the purpose of this post is to help them understand what Swift offers at a language level compared to C#. And, before you start the "apples and oranges" arguments, it's worth pointing out that using Xamarin you can develop iOS and OSX apps using C#. "Let's flip the track, bring the old school back. This is how we do it."

Maybe he's not very familiar with C#:
"
Switch statements are rather similar in both languages except that in Swift case statements don't automatically pass on to the next like in C#. As a result C# requires the use of the break keywords to exit the Switch statement, unless you want to fall through to the next case. While in Swift you must use the "fallthrough" keyword to tell it to pass on through to the next case statement. More information on this can be found in the Swift documentation.
"
It sounds like he means "C" when he says "C#", but I do wish C and C# behaved the way he describes Swift does.
Swift appears to have some features I'd like, but I doubt I'll ever be using Swift.

He must have been thinking of C#'s special treatment of the empty case body, which does fall through.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh my... You seem to be correct.
"
The scope of each case can’t be empty. As a result, you must include at least one statement following the colon ( of each case label.
"
That's horrible.

He's not really comparing it with C# is he? He's comparing Swift with the parts of C# which are common to all C based languages, no mention of LINQ, Generics, ORM etc etc and their equivalents in Swift

From the looks of things, this is part 1 of n, so just pure syntax for now.

Quote: Both languages support the use of Unicode characters as variable names. Basically, you could use Emoticons or other non-ASCII characters as variable names if you want, but who does that anyway?
Offshore teams trying to make it impossible for you to bring development back in house by using symbol names not just in a language you don't understand but in a character set your keyboard can't even type?
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?
