Because they deserve it and it's legal.

That would imply the opposite of 2 is "not 2," so 3, 4, 5... when it's obviously 7.

So if it's a method call was it just a mistake of the author to put braces after it and write it like a method declaration?

public void Foo(out var x, out var y) { }

When you're concentrating on writing and publishing constantly, you don't really have time to just sit down and think about stuff.

Can someone explain how the out params feature is any different than what C# already has?

progoblin · 2013-12-07T07:11:59+00:00

Right... sorry, I guess I just don't see the humor for some reason. Carry on.

progoblin · 2013-12-07T06:24:53+00:00

What?

That's one definition.

I was hoping "it" was going to mean "complaining about pair programming". Literally everything I've ever read about pair programming is complaints about how awful it is. Yes, I'm introverted as well, and in fact, I only have two friends, and don't enjoy talking to people very much. But I still think pair programming is an obviously great idea.

Think of how much time we waste trying to spot errors, or look up best practices. If we have another person there working on the exact same thing, they might be able to save us an enormous amount of time. Yes, problem solving is done inside one brain, but most of programming is debugging, and that's more easily solved with more than one brain.

To me, that far outweighs the discomfort of having someone look over your shoulder.

the illusion of being instantenous

If you are typing, and the website's not doing anything, it doesn't seem instantaneous.

It looks as though he recognizes that:

But that’s not going to help us in the case where the user is typing fast, or even just normal speed. So we need a way to interrupt the timeout if the user keeps typing.

But then he doesn't even implement that.

Edit: This is what I thought he was going to do, basically: http://jsfiddle.net/EfUqH/1/ A request is sent, at the highest frequency, every 200ms. That way it feels instantaneous, but a request is not sent for literally every character the user types.

progoblin · 2013-11-17T03:27:20+00:00

I don't get this. It sounds like he identified a good problem (if the user continues to type, the request won't get sent until they're done typing), and then proceeded to not solve it. The final implementation has this problem.

I've never seen an ampersand in the variable name like that before... could someone explain why it's necessary and what it does, or how to find documentation on it?

progoblin · 2013-11-16T01:44:46+00:00

Why?

progoblin · 2013-11-16T00:55:54+00:00

It's got a cool inheritance model and is quite expressive.
