The idea of a pragmatic plan to get in shape appealed to me as a programmer, but I read this kind of language and cringe: "Feel Better. Code Better. Level Up." "Being healthy will make you a better programmer." I think t

I think it's perfectly reasonable that bit.ly would want to charge for heavy usage of their service and are unwilling to spend their resources helping another company migrate away from their service because they decided they don't

Having the parameters of your GET request in the query string or the request body doesn't have any semantic difference. You're just fetching a resource given some parameters, which doesn't violate REST principles.

Well if somebody is in higher education for computer science, I'm assuming their imagination has already been captured. I'm all for using whatever has the lowest barrier to entry in order to get young people interested in programm

I would disagree that you need an understanding of chemistry to cook... (although it doesn't hurt). However, if you want to teach somebody to cook, you don't teach them how to use the microwave :)

I think that's fine to whet a young adult's appetite, but in higher education, "Why?" should be an ally, not an enemy.

It seems the only argument for pushing Python is that it sidesteps the need to understand fundamental programming concepts. Sure Python is easy to read and easy to write, but that's not really the point. To teach somebody print "h

The amount of evals in the code is troubling too... eval{$penis = $cgi->param('postfield')}; eval{$penispenis = $cgi->param('postfield')};

Perhaps they are choosing not to concern themselves with morality.

It would be really interesting if they offered reduced subscription fees for anyone who acts as an edge CDN node for them!

I'm curious to know how networking behaves in a webgl build. Will my tcp sockets just work straight out of the box? That would be seriously impressive!

More sales, I imagine. If Unity can add chrome support then this could a pretty big deal for gaming on the web!

You can talk sternly without telling someone to go and fuck themselves, in as many words. "It's unacceptable to break userspace. I've fixed the issue personally on this occasion. Look after your area or I'll be forced to

I don't understand why people allow themselves to be spoken to like that! Incredicle...

The British are sitting ducks. The only recourse we have is writing to our MPs, which is as good as useless.

That's not to say somebody can't embed something on a web page (E.G. flash) that connects to 192.168.1.1 and enables configuration from WAN :)

It's not a crime unless you get caught! .... Or apparently if you didn't intend to get caught.

This seems a bit toothless to me. I can't help but feel this is more about PR. There aren't any calls to action! Just a page of opinions.

Yeah, but you still need to learn how the project works to update the docs. If you're a contributor 8 different projects already, then it might not be too unrealistic to submit 3 pull requests for each over the course of 24 days. But i

I think more people might take part if it was less intense. It's going to be hard to learn multiple code bases and submit a meaningful pull request every day if you're full-time employed. 12 days of Christmas, 12 pull requests!

You don't have to contribute to open source to have a github account. I use it to dump all my projects on (most of which are incomplete). I've made only one pull request to OSS (months ago) and it's still sitting in the reque

This is my favorite one. For extra awesome, you can use the atomic mass of each element as the last octet of the device's IP address.
