Disclaimer: First off, I'm aware a thread like this can easily explode. I'd like to ask everyone who contributes to keep it reasonable, and if for those reasons this thread gets removed, I understand. So.. Basically, I'm simply curious. I'm a big follower of ZeroPunctuation, and the genre is...

Yahztee does insulting for a job, no sense criticizing him for it. Other than that, I'm not sure what to say. People may think of the ending what they will, and they may be requesting changes to the game if they wish. It may not make a lot of sense, but there's nothing wrong with it either...

I'm not quite sure about that statement. Which partly owes to the fact that I've never used ORM, but anyway.. What are ORMs used for? It looks to me as if they are only necessary when you want to make your programming language's native objects persistent. Which in turn means that they...

Am I programmer? Hell, yes! Which languages do I know? That's an odd question, it's a bit like asking what vehicles you can drive. Sure, there are different cars, but the difference is mostly simple stuff like the size or the side the steering wheel is on. I usually go by python, since I...
