   I program and don't get this explanation. I'd be completely confused if I watched this before I learned to program. Can't say I'd do better. Perhaps programming is like riding a bike by typing move left pedal to -10 Y and + 5 X, move right

   Here is another post about coffeescript from the author http://oscargodson.com/posts/writing-eloquent-javascript-wit... that pretends javascript best practices can be elegant enough that you don't need coffeescript. Best practices are nic

   With the rampant abuse of market power by the drug companies with Ritalin and anti depressants, I wonder if homeopathy could be a helpful competitor. Magic water can't cause harm and takes some money away from you so you can't use it for so

   I'm not so sure. Maybe every professional should hone their writing skills, but blogging is not the ideal exercise. Typical pop blogs spew out thoughts with regularity, even when the writers haven't thought about the subject carefully, they

   So was there more discussion about await and defer in the many github issues on the subject? This output seems more debuggable than previous CScript defer attempts.

   Browsers will probably achieve API compatibility this decade. But there may still be performance problems and slow standardization of new features, which means there will be other OSs or runtimes.

   I haven't been programming long and don't get the nuances of functional and declarative paradigms. But I have a hunch that even if people made some new languages that balanced out the various concerns of complex compilers, programmer contro

    Yes but it's expensive to mass produce the type of content that Hollywood does. You may need a cheaper form of entertainment, where the content can be crowdsourced, where the production is quick, cheap, etc. Making custom crap for MMORPGs,

    I don't know if it's hollow. It's ~10 lbs, 5ft, came with a cheap 110 lb weight set. I googled up standard barbell weight capacity and most responses on forums and articles say that standards are only rated for ~230 lbs. This one says 300

    There's a real use for this weapon. If it works, it's not a pointless economic stimulus tech demo. US troops get into plenty of firefights with insurgents. Artillery and air support must be around if we plan to win those firefights with low

    I bought a weight set. It also stares at me every day. And I work out almost every day. I don't have serious motivational problems. I could go to a gym in theory, but it's at least 20 minutes away, there would be a whole ritual to dress up,

    I think the History Channel had a scaremongering show about coke can sized EMPs at 30,000 feet having the range to take out most of US electrical/computer systems. If such EMPs did have the range, it would be scary indeed. Everything except

    It simply takes too long to learn with today's state of programming. Simplified natural language programming http://blog.wolfram.com/2010/11/16/programming-with-natural-... may be what they pick up.

    The recent trend in languages like Go is not bad. The intention is to make you productive. It's a new direction that programming languages should explore more. Instead of CS theory emphasize psychological theory, since it's still humans tha
