That depends. Value types don't support polymorphism and subclassing. More specifically, you can't have an array of a union value type like you would in C. Could case classes do without polymorphism?
Without commenting on why Zenimax would launch such a lawsuit now and be public about it, I can't help but see Carmack's response as a potential intimidation move, e.g "You may win in court, but you will lose in the court of public opinion, and this will hurt your business more than losing this suit. Now think again about wether you really want to sue".
I think in a month we'll have a better view of Twitter's worth, less impacted by PR and market technicals like lockup.

I am graduating next week with a BS in computer science and a minor in mathematics. I've completed two internships and held a variety of software development related positions, including QA lead during one internship. I truly enjoy software development and would love to work for a company that would help me get my career started off right. I'd prefer to stay in the Southern United States, but I can relocate.
The binaural recordings are more than a little spooky. Even knowing before hand that they were going to play the sound of someone knocking on doors I had to fight the temptation to turn and look at sho was knocking on the desk next to me.
Study reveals a way to improve chances of winning at rock-paper-scissors
The article writes:

"Wrapping. Just as the eight primitive types have wrapper types that extend Object, value types should always have both an unboxed and a boxed representation. The unboxed representation should be used where practical; the boxed representation may be required for interoperability with APIs that require reference types. Unlike the existing primitive wrappers, the boxed representation should be automatically generated from the description of the value type."

So there is some boxing planned. What does it mean for the programmers, the users of existing libraries? Ah, I believe gordaco hints to that in his comment.
No, it's not. I've observed it on my own with several sets of high quality 'phones.

I want to work with people smarter than I am. I'm looking to take my skills and learning to the next level. I want to work creating and developing products, SaaS and such. I like thinking about user experience and how it affects product design. I think holistically about the projects I work on, how everything is tied to, and influenced by, everything else.
Liberalism in its modern guise only took hold in the American academic circles in the 1960s, although it's a very fuzzy event of course. Prior to that the idea that there were fundamental differences wasn't toxic, but I fully agree that it was also often taken too far. I consider the current stance a massive overreaction, but there was something to react to. I don't think the facts have ever justified current academic orthodoxy and rather fully expect it to be looked back on as something as bizarre as pholistigon, but as we sit here in the middle of it, it's much harder to see how bizarre it is.

So to me, the revolutionary bit has nothing to do with "new facts"... the revolutionary bit is if it established to the point where current orthodoxy can no longer resist it.

And in the meantime, as someone who truly enjoys science in its real form as a permanent, ongoing intellectual revolution rather than a servant of the orthodoxy, the staggering vista of quantitative research this opens up into the diversity (the real diversity, not the political kind) of the human experience is incredibly exciting. There's rich veins of knowledge to be mined here with modern technology and techniques.

And I'd make that meta-reply in general to a lot of the other comments... yes, frankly the general gist of this has long been obvious to anyone with an independent mind who takes a look out at the world around us, but if it's so obvious, why has the scientific orthodoxy not matched that? The surprise expressed in this article is real. And I mean that as a true question for thought and examination, not mere snark. It's a rich question, about science, about how science works, about history, all sorts of things. Books could be written on it, and probably will be.
What is the Billion Prices Project showing us about inflation?
a. Try making it so I only have to tap the text and don't have to position my finger directly over the dot.

b. You seem to have reinvented Yahoo?
Not quite. Unlike C# structs, this is not a memory-layout choice, but a semantic choice. Value types have specific semantics: immutable, atomic, non-extendable etc. It is up to the VM to choose how to lay them out in memory, but an on-stack/inlined-in-array storage would be possible.
I have a bunch of side-projects too but most of them are in the limbo because there isn't someone behind it to work daily on it. They are:

- http://startya.co/ - we help non-tech people launch his MVP.

- http://drinks4.us - Drink recipes to teach you how to make drinks with what you have in your fridge!

- http://gamescom.in/ - we notify you when the game you are waiting for is released

- http://estoujogando.com.br - a startup that didint make enough money and turned into a side-project. Its a brazilian social network for gamers.
It's a lot harder to fly a payload any meaningful distance than it is to launch an ICBM with the payload and a parachute on top.

Well, maybe not on Earth, but definitely on Kerbin.
Google is not a monolith. Different parts have different customers. Many parts of Google provide free products. To those parts, we are the customers, because they make those products for us. But those are the parts of Google that don't make any money.

The part that does make money, the advertising part, has advertisers as customers. And their product is the entire internet on which to show those ads, including all the users of the internet.

You still get to see those ads even if you don't use GMail or YouTube. Even if you don't use search; Google ads are on all sorts of sites. Basically, they just want as many people as possible spending as much time as possible on the internet. The bigger the internet is, the bigger the pie of which Google gets a sizable slice.
"What I do know is that during the course of these measurements some things changed. While the data showed only very small differences, the data was clearly above the noise, and a general trend observable. The data also showed a discontinuity around the 20 hour mark in both the FR and THD data. While, it seems to me, much of the change observed could easily be due to movement, especially in the frequencies above 5kHz, some changes seem more likely due to break-in. In particular, the changes in frequency response around the fundamental resonance of the driver at 80Hz, and in %THD+noise at the same frequency and at around 40Hz."

In my opinion an important point is that for a turing complete language being run on a machine with finite memory, if you have problem for which it runs out of memory, you could conceivably throw more memory at the problem and have it work.
If you a non-complete language, more memory is not enough, you will have to do a rewrite in addition.
I'm pretty sure the explanation is something like that but I felt the sloppy wording and completely lack of any explanation was exactly the kind of thing we need less of in tech advice, particularly when describing an extreme edge-case.

The original wording was poor enough that it's ambiguous whether the claim is “enable keepalive unless you have a high bounce rate” or “enable keepalive if you have a high bounce rate”.
Why not set yourself generic goals rather than a destination?

For instance to find a nice cafe you've never been to before, or a nice bookshop.
A fair question, as winning that prize puts a book in good company. I'm trying to remember what other books about science were published that same year.

Of the author's main points, many waves of settlement, some earlier than previously estimated, is still a controversial point. (I have just been reading books on physical anthropology about the genetic evidence on this issue, and his hypothesis is not well supported.) High levels of cultural advancement in pre-Columbian America is still a controversial point (although partly controversial as a matter of definition, of course, especially for the regions of America without writing, much as is true in Africa). His main point that is best accepted--and still deserves to be better known--is that the first settlers of America didn't "live with Nature" but actively shaped their environments, notably through use of fire to promote agriculture.
Here's a tiny twist on WordCount that many, many companies use MR for (often their first foot in the water): you have many gigabytes or terabytes of web access logs and need to bill customers via some API scheme like /api/3001?x=1&y=2 where "3001" there is the customer ID. You add some regex and now you're doing "WordCount" on the customer ID (per day, month, etc).
Great read! I think this is a first time I've seen a really good, structured failover test that contrasts postgre, redis, and mongo (I don't know much about Riak). It would have been interesting to see mysql in there as well.
How do you figure?

Russia is flush with cash, and while their economy may contract, they're not exactly doing badly...

Further, what makes you think Putin and his government is unpopular at home? (hint: they aren't)
I understand what the common wisdom is ("shut-up") when it comes to this type of thing, and I understand the stated reason why ("it will get used against you!"), but I don't understand the "how" part.

Carmack made a very clear, short public message about it. Rather than being any kind of admission, it was the opposite. A complete denial. How could Zenimax use that to strengthen their case? He's likely to repeat the same denial to the court anyway.

I'm not pretending I know better than the common wisdom, just trying to understand it better. If you were Zenimax, how would you use this tweet against him?
>> no one not in Russia would want to help them given the way they're currently acting as a government

I've heard the same thing about the US many times.
It probably depends on the market and use case. I suspect LOB software is mostly web based these days (easier to deploy, upgrade, and maintain). A lot of desktop software is still written in C/C++ for Win32. Although Microsoft would probably love it if developers starting coding to WinRT which, I think, works best with C#.

In a piece that laments how women are not safe at tech conferences,

"He then proceeded to offend me in my own language. I was so horrified I slapped him, which literally made everyone else in the room stop talking and stare at me."

I have no idea why this author thinks that bro culture somehow justifies her physically assaulting someone at a tech conference. Then lamenting about, "I know there must be other women struggle in these situations [sic]" makes it even worse.

PayPal's Mafia Peter Thiel on How To Create a Unique Business
This has been posted many times here. A reflection: what about this headline makes it so surprising? Is it the size of the floppy discs that supposedly make it less secure? Would it be better if it where 5.25" discs, or 3.5"?

Would it necessarily be more secure if it ran on Chinese-made microchips? Like these:
