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.

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!

When I first learned about the Julia programming language, I became very enthusiastic about it. However, as I learned more about the language and experimented with it, I because increasingly disenchanted with it, and I’ll explain why in this post. I think we should start seeing other languages.

Windows 10 has been with us for a little over eight months now, which means there are only about four months remaining to get a free upgrade from an older Windows operating system. As the clock counts down, Microsoft has begun to auto-schedule PCs to upgrade to Windows 10 with or without consent from end users. Just gonna go home and check my settings, brb.

My wife's laptop was taken over by the Win10 virus. She was unable to move the mouse due to GetWinX eating all of the processor.
Me: "Okay, let's update." <click>
GetWinX : blurgh! <fail>
I tried 3 or 4 different ways of upgrading. Was unable to download updates or even use the PC.
Finally, I downloaded an ISO for win10 to a USB drive and wiped the entire machine / installed.
Oh, it's very easy for the non-technical user, I am sure.

It is irritating, how Microsoft treats us...but it is relatively easy to stop the scheduled upgrade...

What's really a pain in the ass is that even though you hide the various Win10 updater updates in WinUpdate, they come back each time new updates are available.

Apple deleting music from Apple Music subscriber’s accounts has been a problem since the service launched last year, but after a blog post titled, “Apple Music stole my music. No, seriously,” by freelance composer James Pinkstone, the problem has taken center stage yet again. If Apple comes for my Justin Bieber collection, we're going to have words.

That would almost be a good reason to buy Apple.

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?
