The only reason I did not add it to the list is that I have yet to see it, and in fact did not know it existed until today, but if it's half as good as the others than it is still better than most.

Perhaps, but I really don't know if that would solve it either. I've done rather well thus far in my career, and continue to do so. Yet something feels missing, I don't know what, but I still have some recurring desire to enl

Perhaps that is mostly because Junger's documentaries are all around American troops. I also highly recommend Restrepo, and the follow up, Korengal.

I don't think that's an entirely accurate depiction, given the article. I believe this is strictly in a modern context, and given that every soldier, sailor, Marine, and airman is a volunteer, it misses the point. We can point at

I can understand that line of thinking, but in given the OP is talking in JS, and and that I've only ever written such languages at Uni or for practice, I don't find them applicable to my day to day. I deal with Java, Scala, JS, a

So you propose a) Having a "boolean" enum which does't solve the problem or having dozens of unique "boolean" enums which is a maintenance nightmare. Instead, I can use my IDE to tell me the names and ordering of pa

Well, when one considers that programming was once seen as secretarial, "womens' work", and over time morphed into something of an "engineering" discipline, you could posit that societal pressures would have some ro

Commenting without knowing that I read TFA is also considered harmful, but sorry I hit a nerve. I'm sure your Python/Ruby/Node is going to be nice and maintainable for years to come. Let's just hope all of your parameter

Well how about that, a realistic look at what pandering mess subsets of our industry and programming culture have become. My least favorite part was the little bit at the end, apologizing to the organizers of the hackathon. Don't apolo

Languages without type-checking considered harmful. Seriously, it's 2015, I shouldn't have to worry about getting my arguments out of order and slipping into production code. Test your code, pick a better language, or hell, use en

You're right, our government only has better surveillance capabilities, a much more compliant population, and presents itself as a straightforward, albeit imperfect, republic in order to give it an air of legitimacy. Apples and oranges

Let's use a real-world example: China. How likely is that to work out? Now well. China gets cheaper oil, can't be easily coerced by force, and there is a large level of dependence.

The problem with that line of thought is that it's not going to be cheaper overnight. All the while Government A is plugging along on renewables, driving the price down, Government B is going to be eating Government A's lunch.

As someone who has wanted to move to Berlin, are there good resources/ways to connect with tech companies there? Most of the networking I've done has been natural interaction, and I only have so much vacation in a year.

One could be generous to the author and say that he just spotted Java on the Wikipedia map[0] of the Burmese python's range. Being the smartass I am, I tried finding if the first discovery of the Burmese python was south of the equator

While you obviously have the freedom to do what you wish, I got the impression that colleges are going further along the path of hand-holding to cater to those who can't/won't make that K-12 transition. From speaking with my

Not every dead language is a result of a genocide. My question stands on it's own, and there is more to it than what you imply. Yes, the most obvious, ready examples are what you say, but not all.

To play the devil's advocate, maybe they deserve to die out. If they would have innovated and conquered first, their language could have lived and ours could be the one on its deathbed. Survival of the fittest, if you will.

I'm not asking along the lines of the usual "this isn't tech" - It's just nothing jumps out at me about the article. Can someone explain the significance?
