Changing gear is a more difficult task than controlling the steering wheel. It requires both grabbing and moving with a bigger range of motion. It is similar to playing violin and guitar - you would think we should use the better hand for press down massaging the strings which seems to be more difficult, but in reality we use the better hand for simply plucking or pulling the strings because of the range of motions.
Regarding driving on a side of the road with many more right handed people in the world than left doesn't it make more sense to drive on the left (left-hand traffic e.g Australia, Japan etc) so your good hand remains on the wheel when you change gears?
I am right handed; but neither I think that my left hand would do a good job at shifting the gears and nor my left one isn't good enough at handling the wheel.
I for one disagree that javascript got integers right. For one thing, he called them integers, when they're in fact not at all integers and are just general "numbers". There's a tradeoff where you get overflow, is that worse than a tradeoff where your integers become imprecise?
What? C# defaults to throwing an overflow exception when it overflows. You need to explicitly disable the overflow exception by wrapping an "unchecked" expression around it. "++" has nothing to do with pointers either, p += 1 and ++p have the same behavior on a pointer. JSLint is way too strict, it dictates the formatting completely - in ways that have nothing to do with errors.
Programming is the most complicated thing humans do? Nah. Not even close. Proving that every simply connected, closed 3-manifold is homeomorphic to the 3-sphere (the Poincare conjecture) or Fermat's last theorem beat hamming out Javascript on a keyboard. Or take Mochizuki's recent proof of the abc conjecture. That's hard shit. Admittedly, a program can get complicated very quickly, but the act of programming is relatively straightforward.
Good speak. Hate js though, and if he follows through with all he's advice on coding for least possible errors it wouldn't be the language of chouce. People likes browsers... and flies like piles of shit.
Love the last question + answer. Great fun.

What's the first language of the browser? HTML?
this video is interesting

True when not acknowledging the ongoing collaboration and risks. Both seem limited in your examples. Mathematician got lost in developer country?
