I don't follow. Is Python the only programming language available? Is programmability determined by a device's ability to run python scripts natively?

So? You still are able to program it, aren't you? Therefore, it is programmable.

I think Coursera needs to do a course on game engine architecture with real-world examples (idtech, ogre).

Funny, but no, not everywhere. I did a project like that, though, in my undergrad years, but it wasn't a assignment, just for fun. Instead of doing something like this, they just made us memorize the x86 instructions and their nuances. I sh

Of course we can replace facebook. If you think about it, we don't really need a "social network" - all these things can be done via e-mail, xmmp and irc (all of which are standard open protocols). Use mail groups instead of "pages" and "co

What if suddenly, by the time you're 50, you find that you no longer love it, but it's the only thing you can do to put food on the table?

I have to agree with this. Abusing Javascript and CSS has become fairly common, and it's annoying. Example: altdevblogaday.com does not open in firefox. It just shows a blank page. But if I disable Javascript, it will work as expected. Go f

I think this mostly relies on the assumption that all of Tina's posts are public. What of by 2018 people will learn to make all of their facebook posts friends-only?

Refactoring and intellisense. You can do those to some degree in vim, but eclipse and visual studio do it better. I'm still using vim though, because i don't really need those features that often, and i feel handicapped in other editors.

Leaving aside the question about whether the suggested division between "liberal" and "conservative" is a valid one... It seems like people are not happy for their favorite language being labeled as "conservative". I don't understand why.

Why is it all black-and-white? Is it because color cameras are too heavy/expensive to take or because color photography is for some reason impossible under those conditions?

Me too. I mean, look at this. The place looks like a desert on Earth, and yet its millions of miles away in space, on another planet. There's a certain feeling I experience when I look at those photos, like there is a vast, cold void inside

I was actually trying to help the project with their new UI code about nine months ago, but then I moved to the US, had a lot of other stuff to take care of, and ended up abandoning the project. So happy for the development team though, kee

tl;dr: "lalala, we can't hear you, we'll keep doing what we're doing". Looks like I'm not coming back to gnome in the foreseeable future.

As I see it, this article boils down to "maintain relationships with people for profit, not fun". Which does not look like a good approach to relationships to me. Look at it this way: what would you do if you found out one of your friends d

I've been their customer for the past few months and I have to say, this service is quite amazing. It's not cheap, but it is extremely convenient and the cars and the drivers are really good.

I know it was dumb, but I was half expecting to see something like cars from the Fifth Element after clicking the link.

It's not a bad thing itself to make "arrays" work like that, except, you can't call them arrays then. For example, Lua uses a similar approach ("tables") and works just fine. AFAIK, it does certain optimizations under the hood to make sure

No. In fact, as I already mentioned, I started in PHP myself. The thing that annoys me is that "Meh, PHP is good enough" attitude, which a lot of people seem to share. With that kind of thinking, your progress will be seriously hindered. O

It's funny because it was precisely how I learned programming: first a bit of Visual Basic, then PHP. I want to warn people against it, because I think I lost a lot of time along the way doing stupid irrelevant things. You see, instead of l
