1	She++, a 'documentary' about how oppressed women are in Computer Science. Not one of those words is analogous with "design pattern" I'd argue they all are. Of course, design patterns are not magic bullets, and should only be used where appropriate. What is elegant is to program to fit the needs. That's fine and dandy, until your clients start adding requirements or just changing the spec in general. All of a sudden your finely crafted code doesn't fit the needs anymore, and since you didn't use a pattern that would've made your code extensible, you now have serious re…	/r/MensRights	24/08/13 08:40 PM
1	She++, a 'documentary' about how oppressed women are in Computer Science. I think it's debatable. Most people wouldn't call CSS a programming language, yet by the wikipedia definition, a programming language is "a formal language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer." CSS is used to communicate styling information to the browser, which can be seen as a kind of machine (it is a virtual machine for JS after all). If the article was titled "Average Income per Turing Complete Programming Language", then I'd agree with you. But it's no…	/r/MensRights	24/08/13 01:20 PM
1	She++, a 'documentary' about how oppressed women are in Computer Science. It's not a Turing complete language, but it is a language that features in github projects, and it can be correlated with the income data available, so why not?	/r/MensRights	24/08/13 12:35 PM
5	She++, a 'documentary' about how oppressed women are in Computer Science. PHP, sure, JS is a different beast altogether however. I thought I knew JS, until I really had to start using it at work. Things like "this" that changes depending on where a function is invoked, multiple prototype properties per object, accidental closures, forgetting a 'var' resulting in a global declaration, function scoping instead of block scoping with variable "hoisting" (allowing you to use variables before they are declared), two equality operators that give different results (== and ===…	/r/MensRights	24/08/13 12:27 PM
2	She++, a 'documentary' about how oppressed women are in Computer Science. I would suggest starting with C to get a feel for imperative programming with the C style syntax, including things like references, pointers, pass-by-reference vs pass-by-value etc, then move on to C++ and get comfortable with object orientation (classes and objects, polymorphism, encapsulation, abstraction etc). Finally, move on to Java, which is "simpler" as it hides a lot of this complexity. It has a simplified memory model (from the programmers point of view, as it has no manual memory manag…	/r/MensRights	24/08/13 12:14 PM
0	She++, a 'documentary' about how oppressed women are in Computer Science. PHP and Visual Basic programmers look down on Java Someone should inform employers so they can adjust the payscale accordingly /s	/r/MensRights	24/08/13 12:02 PM
2	She++, a 'documentary' about how oppressed women are in Computer Science. It is slow as molasses You can't have the portability a VM language offers without sacrificing a little bit of performance, and Java is probably the fastest VM language available (depends on the VM naturally). Because slow NetBeans. Because even slower Eclipse. Use IntelliJ IDEA. It is blazing fast and beats the hell out of any other IDE for any language. Visual Studio is to IDEA as notepad is to VS. Because of the obsession java programmers seem to have with design patterns That's because Java …	/r/MensRights	24/08/13 11:58 AM
13	This is some weird shit So, a game of show me yours and I'll show you mine is rape because they are children and can't consent but it's ok to try them as adults because "we believe children aged 10 are able to weigh up right and wrong in the same way that older children or adults can". Makes perfect sense.	/r/MensRights	18/08/10 10:06 PM
