I'm tired of the term "hacker" being thrown around this way. Authors just attach whatever meaning they want to it. http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html#what_is

Unless you're stuck making OSX or iOS applications, I see no reason not to switch. OSX is like my fourth OS of choice behind linux, windows and chromeOS (which is still linux). I had to use osx for 1.5 years at work and going back to u

The truth is the link to profile may only appear if you've written A PUBLICLY VISIBLE REVIEW of the business. If the author of this shitty article bothered even a little with some research, he'd find it out. But the truth doesn&#x

Many painful minutes spent with slow-like-sloth-taking-a-shit Java desktop software lead me to believe that your statement isn't entirely true.

Problems like I look at a function and have no clue about what it's arguments are.

> "not necessarily better or worse" I don't agree with that. Sure, comparing something from completely different domains (for example, SQL and HTML) doesn't make sense. However, for some languages (e.g. C#/Java,

Yeah, that line made my mind go blank for a moment.

This should be the other way around actually.

Honestly, I can understand OP's frustration. I would be lying if I said I didn't think similar thoughts. But the truth is, you don't get do to what you want unless you're running your on company. Even if you are running

I thought it was some kind of sarcasm. Confused, I went and googled SpoonRocket. It exists. This comment was not sarcasm. You start your comment with "wanting to work for a cause" and end it with a sentence about a fucking food de

Oh, pish posh. Lots of people started with C++ and they're just fine. Sure, we had our share of segfaults and memory leaks, but it's better to learn what it is and how to prevent it early on rather than hide from it forever.

Programmable toys are also a nice way to introduce kids to programming. I wrote my first programs (without even knowing it) on this bad boy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Trak (well, not exactly this one, but it&#x2

This will only serve to perpetuate the stupid meme that "Javascript is basically Scheme with curly braces and semicolons"

And crashes all the freaking time. It was so disappointing, because the game is insanely fun, but it was ruined for me by constant glitches.
