So I just started playing around with d3 and I can't believe how easy it is to make neat visualizations like this. The code behind it is somewhat sloppy but should be easy enough to change if anyone wants to use it.

Actually I think cost of living increases and inflation are fine to bring up when asking for a raise. If you don't get a raise to match inflation they are effectively paying you less than last year, which only makes sense if your job p

I wonder what those people are thinking, it's blatantly obvious that the only reason this guy got funding was because of the novelty. It's like when Twitch Plays Pokemon came out there were tons of copycat streams, none of them ca

So does Java and C and Python to some extent. I don't know a single linux distro that ships without python.

So we should teach the students old stuff because it's easier on the teacher? This isn't history, the tech world is changing daily with new languages and technologies being created. Sticking to one curriculum because it's eas

They're majoring in CS not Web Development. PHP doesn't really do anything other than web dev which makes it a poor fit for a general purpose CS curriculum.

I assure you there are many that are. My first year at uni was filled with classmates that could barely operate a computer, there were many like myself that already had a good handle on programming and cs fundamentals but we weren't th

Python has a way larger community/ecosystem outside of web development. Ruby pretty much only has Rails.

Ruby is great for webdev, RoR is insanely popular so if that's your route you'll do fine. Ruby doesn't really do anything else well however, Python is pretty much a jack of all trades with a massive library ecosystem. It&#x27

The article only talks about introductory classes, most universities with decent CS programs will teach more than one language.

I think it's important teach what's relevant in the current day, every likes to parrot the "Python 3 has no support" line but it's simply not true[1]. The developers have said multiple times there will be no 2.8 and

I think Python is the perfect first language for beginners. Yea we all know it's not fast or low level or the best language to teach about types or advanced CS topics etc. But it is extremely readable and easy to understand, it makes c

It's easy to read and it just makes more sense when someone only knows English. I could show this to my 80 year old grandmother and have her understand what it does with minimal help on my part. word_list = ["hat", &quo

.NET developers aren't real developers? Most people in the game industry also swear religiously by windows/visual studio, apparently games are "real" software anymore.

Writing for standards compliance is great when you don't care where/if your code works, what browser do you use that perfectly adheres to all the standards?

The pre-built binaries are OSX only but there are instructions for building on Windows and Linux.

Does anyone find it weird that they left the google analytics scripts on the seized pages? Or is it possibly more sinister in that they're seizing the analytic data as well.

The wireless 360 controller requires a separate adapter which is not manufactured anymore and is shoddy at best, even installing the drivers can be difficult especially for a non technical person.

I'm talking about java, runescape is written in java not javascript.

I'd have to agree, I can run most of the source engine games at max quality 60fps on my laptop running Windows. When I switch to my linux install on the same box it's much slower and a much less polished experience.

Except Dart isn't trying to be another "compiles to javascript" language like CS, Dart is trying to completely replace js which is why it's so much more difficult to implement. They have to build an entire VM to rival V8

I have no idea why HN doesn't have collapsible comments like reddit. There's literally no downside and extremely easy to implement, it would solve the same problem this is trying to solve.

Because then his userbase goes from being an extremely small niche(chromium is probably less than 1%) to a much larger niche(chrome is more than 30%).

So they're just monitoring honeypots right? I can't think of any other way to do this real-time.
