I used VB6 to do some post install scripting because it was there, and quick. I could have used c but didn't. Prolly cause it was there but not as quick to bugger something up in a hurry.

You might not have thought of – much less visited – Myspace in years. (Yes, it’s still around. Time, Inc. acquired it and other properties when it bought Viant earlier this year.) But user data never really dies, unfortunately. People still use MySpace?

There are quite a few common wisdoms when it comes to C++ and games. As it always the case when facing a bunch of common wisdoms, some of them have their merits, some are obsolete-beyond-belief, and some are just taken from a very different context and are not really applicable. Just in case you want C++ lessons from a bunny

One of the central features we’re trying to add to both VB and C# in the near future is tuples. Who needs individual variables anyway?
But I am having nightmares about the return of "Recordset" programming
|

I have been waiting for this feature! Having used Lua and Python quite a bit, I love the multiple return value system. It is quite useful.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Do the 'Tuple facilities provided in .NET, now, not count as "real" Tuples ?
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

No. Read the article carefully - it worth it...
But for short...Today Tuple class is a... class, while the new solution to be is about using inline initialization (no heap)...

Thanks, Kornfeld, for the heads-up; I did read the article and, once again, was thankful I gave up VB for C# many years ago. For me, using a 'struct is the best way to wrap-up a bunch of Types if I want a "leaner, meaner" way to package data. But, I have made little use of the existing 'Tuple class, partially because of its Item1 ... Item#m syntax.
cheers, Bill

I need qutple, puples, suples, ouples and nuples,
How about just creating a damn structure?

A new report out by the BBC is showing that tech and online giants Microsoft, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook have pledged to remove hate speech within 24 hours. "All you need is love"

You know what's gonna happen now...
0) People become angry and look for alternatives
1) Startups appear, claiming no censorship in order to draw in users
2) Startup becomes big enough to be noticed by "tech giants"
3) Startup owner sells out to highest "tech giant" bidder
4) Go to Item #0 (wash, rinse, repeat).

I'm not comfortable with that statement. You're a racist homophobic atheist, and I hate you for that. Please provide me a safe space at your own expense.

Whew; there are SO many more F# developers than JavaScript developers. This will be such a help.

If JavaScript so important than why not to:
* learn it?
* teach it?
* develop IDEs for it?
(I'm writing JavaScript for almost 15 years, and I'm writing it in JavaScript! I know, it is unbelievable...)
