Lint tools exist. My number one take away from this is that we should all be using them more .

Pylint catches this, pylint categorizes this as a warning. If your language has a lint tool and your code is remotely important, please run the lint tool as part of your build.

Viewed just in terms of gameplay, it's low-stress. You can pretty much always stop and think, very few puzzles are timed, very few puzzles come down to "twitch". On the other hand the antagonist of the game is an abuser, and

I've read both Real World Haskell and Learn You a Haskell. Read Learn You a Haskell, I suspect you'll like it much better.

There may be, I'm not that familiar with either, but do try vim-fireplace, it's pretty darn good.

Macros are not functions, macros are a mechanism for adding features to the language itself.

Maybe I'm overstating, and maybe there are other languages in between I don't know about. If you look at what's in memory at a given moment, how objects are connected to one another, and how they're connected to code, I

For Java I would suggest "Lisp is too powerful for Joe Programmer, and parentheses are scary" Java as essentially Lisp's bastard child is I think undermentioned in language history.

I think they left off an important reason, which is that if an engineer is spending most of their time working on Go, and Go's written in C, then they're making decisions about Go without actually spending a lot of time writing Go

It is really fucked up that what we hope for is for jobs to be on the line, when we should be talking about decades in jail at the least.

We totally can make it come faster. If we institute basic income tomorrow, you seriously don't think we'll have mostly-automated McDonald's next year?

I am so fucking sick of this false equivalence between Facebook having my data and the government having my data. The government has big fucking guns. If they see something in my data they don't like, they can shoot me, or threaten to

I think the technical difficulty of what the module actually does should be a pretty clear indication that this is satire?

I was aiming for sarcasm, they should totally be punished.

by MBlume 13y ago
Oh come on, if we punished people for that sort of thing we wouldn't have a government anymore.

by MBlume 13y ago
If that's a possible response, the government probably would have lied to its lawyers for their own protection, not asked them to lie.

This is my primary concern with the proposal, but if Walmart and McDonalds were deprived of that cheap workforce, how many of those jobs would they finally figure out how to automate?

To me, Kim Dotcom's activities are reminiscent of one of those villain crossover movies -- Alien vs. Predator or whatever. I don't bear Dotcom much good will, but if he damages the copyright maximalists while they're taking h

Everyone is aware of this reality. Everyone was aware of this reality when the transition was planned. It's been years now and we're still maybe halfway through the transition and that's ok .

There are some good criticisms here about some of the discontinuities in difficulty, but first and foremost I really want to congratulate OP for doing something to address the instant gratification problem in learning to program. You can op

This was exactly the koan that I felt had the biggest discontinuity, and yeah, having the previous ones visible might help.
