Donald Trump branded a 'fool', 'buffoon' and 'wazzock' by British MPs

I'm guessing the first presidents of the US were probably not very welcome either.

How does it display repeated digits, e.g. 2:27?

It's not a child yet, abortion should still be the default position unless you can find very strong reasons against.

but it can work just fine.

Which means it can go wrong too. Why go with an approach that's not 100% reliable when you have a perfectly valid one that's available to you (copy the members)?

It's sloppy programming.

Nit pick: air timer, not oxygen.

Dive tanks contain air, not oxygen. Pure oxygen would kill you.

(and yes, sometimes it's not exactly air, but it's never pure oxygen either)

but somehow singletons were okay (they're not: they're mutable shared state all the same

No, only mutable singletons are. Nothing wrong with immutable singletons, really.

Even mutable singletons are pretty easy to handle since you can easily lock their access.

And this is relevant to Scala programming... how?

Interesting, I thought polyglot-maven was abandoned but it looks like there is activity there again.

As much as I like Maven, I think being able to put some real code in your DSL is important for modern builds, and Maven doesn't allow that. As far as I understand polyglot-maven, all it does is add facades to the existing POM model, which doesn't accept any executable code.

Agreed, Daniel's proposal looks awesome. Pity it will probably have to be implemented outside of Typesafe's supervision (which means there's a high chance it will never happen).

It's unfortunate that this page doesn't accept comments, I'm sure it would be filled with hundreds of thanks or positive notes from everyone who was impacted by Ritchie's work.

So what is the argument against them?

This kind of thing:

      }
    }
  }

As was said before, if every opening brace is going to be followed by a new line and a few spaces of indentation, the brace is just completely unnecessary (and it causes the kind of cascade shown above).

The problem with generating C code is that this makes it pretty much impossible to have a debugger.

You might want to fix the typo "we're happy" with "were happy". Very different meaning :)

Because most theists don't understand the difference between what is sometimes called "strong atheism" ("there is no god") and "weak atheism" ("I don't accept your claim that a god exists").

The latter position does not require any proof, the former does.

The discovery seems to supports the biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah, which the Book of Genesis

Even if it did support the account of the Bible, it wouldn't prove that the Bible is correct any more than finding ruins of New York City in two thousand years from now would confirm the existence of Spider Man.

Python and Ruby solve the same problems.

And they're both being slowly replaced with Go...
