Not to mention, it can be compiled to javascript at first, for backward complatibility. Actually, Google's Dart comes to mind, but I haven't really used it to make an informed judgement about it...

NoSQL is a regression in a sense. Or, if you prefer, a conscious trade-off. Providing the same guarantees as traditional relational databases becomes difficult at scale, so you trade some of the features for higher scalability. For exampl

I can tell you why I dislike programming in JavaScript (those aren't necessarily faults of javascript itself): 1. Complex code usually contains some horrible callback spaghetti, which is not pleasant to debug at all. 2. General flaki

I agree. This presentation sucks because it could be written as a simple paragraph of text. There is no need for slides. It was upvoted only because it's by Yukihiro Matzumoto, the author of Ruby programming language.

What you learn in college/university depends only on yourself. Tests are just the most convenient, unified way to measure students' progress. There are two ways you can beat tests: one is to train specifically for the test, the ot

This is the way we were taught pretty much every subject in our university. It doesn't work. What happens is, nobody studies anything during the semester (because nobody checks their progress), then there's a one or two week cram

Yes, I also noticed that when it comes to the really interesting things, it's almost always either C or C++. Operating systems, DBMS'es, interpreters, game engines, browsers and lots of other stuff. Projects like webkit, v8, unreal engine a

Yes, I found it a bit odd too that the OP claims interest in math yet seems to have problems understanding computational complexity. Although, mathematics is a very broad subject, maybe his focus was on something else.

Sound on Linux wasn't a problem 5 years ago. In fact, it wasn't a problem even earlier. I started using linux on a regular basis circa 2006 and never ran into any problems with sound. I used different distros (knoppix, ASPLinux, openSUSE, u

Because users are accustomed to the Previous Version. They have various specific ways of doing things. Your new UI breaks it, so now the user has to spend time readjusting their habits. It gets even worse if there is no simple, obvious way

I never really understood WHY they felt the need for this radical change in UI. It may have gotten better with new releases, but why did they have to break everything in the first place? What, the usual desktop was not working well? Anyway

While they are not equivalent , they serve to achieve similar goals, and it's fair to compare one to the other. Github may be better, but it's not the point. People will be using github to do the same stuff they used to do on SourceForge.
