Why are you learning to code? To find a job as a programmer? Because you think it will help you at your current job? Because you are looking for a new challenge? Do you have something in mind that requires coding? If you don't know any

Your example of solar energy is true if solar energy is kept only to houses, but maybe in the process of massive production of solar panels, those panels will have been made more efficient, making it possible to use solar energy to (partial

In that case something like a screenshot wouldn't have hurt to make his point. On a totally different topic, are you Avshalom as well on #emacs on freenode? If that's the case I once spoke to you about improving how ESS shows grap

Oh, that's nice, thanks - I haven't used C# since 2008. What you said just reinforces my point: the OP boasts over a feature that is very, very common.

Hey meh_master, First, congratulations for exposing yourself here. I know it's not easy. As someone else said, I wanted to email you but you don't have a contact in your profile. Feel free to write to me if you want to speak to so

I am not sure it works on something other than Linux, but you can have that with Emacs too (M-x toggle-frame-fullscreen).

There is also gamma (lim_{n -> infinity} (sum_{k=1..n} 1/k)-ln n), that, as far as I know, hasn't been proved to be either rational, either irrational, that is "long suspected irrational", and probably is.

Berlin is not Germany. I don't know where the OP is from, but if he's from Muenchen or Frankfurt, my rough estimation (I am not German) is that the cost of life in those cities are 20-30% higher than in Berlin.

Can you explain what Thiel's article has to do with professionalizaton or unionizaton of software engineers? Thiel's thesis here is that you need to innovate to hold an at least temporary monopoly on something (you have the monopo

Not really. IMHO programming languages should become more and more expressive to the point of being as closed as possible to spoken language, in a distant future.

I really like your examples with the vector whose size is controlled by the type. However, is that useful in practice? I suppose that your vector would be read from a file or a database (especially if you do data analysis), in which case yo

Maybe it's because Brits have much more trouble to learn French than French have to learn English.

I was about to say the same thing. I don't think Paris is considerably cheaper than San Francisco - if probably is, but my guess would be 30% cheaper, except maybe for the rent.

It's unclear. It says here [0] that in principle you can't get unemployment benefit if you leave your job on your own, although there are exception to that, mainly if you leave your job for family reason (your partner got an oppor

You need to have been fired for that - you won't get the unemployment benefits if you quit your job. On the other hand, unemployment can be a cushion for employees of a failed startup. I don't know if founders of failed startups c

Interesting explanation. Maybe you're not gonna be able to share that, but I would be curious to see some examples of what they did, that is so exceptional. Did they decide to rewrite some critical module using language/framework
