A lot of young boys wouldn't care at all and would probably enjoy sewing, baking and other traditional 'girly' activities. Its the dad's with fragile masculinity and out-dated opinions that would stop them going or teach

No, anyone can join any of the scouting age groups.

No, you can't. Because girls need a safe space to be girls (without any boys around) a lot more than boys need any more spaces where they can be boys without any girls around (there's enough of those).

Its really important to consider who the class is for when looking at how you enjoyed it. You took the class already having 'lots of prior programming experience'. This class was clearly designed for people who have never programm

I see no problem in encouraging contributions and donations in your CONTRIBUTING.md (that shows when creating an issue). Especially in a large project. But requiring a donation or code would mean that lots of bugs would go un-reported. Issu

Yes. Running a GPU at 100% continuously will significantly shorten the lifespan of the chip, the chances of picking up something that's not got much life left is high.

Lots of Chromebooks don't come with more than 4GB of RAM, theres no reason why they couldn't have more too. But the mostly don't because the target market is not seen as needing it.

I'm really excited about ARM laptops, but only if: * They have laptop-class performance, not tablet class performance * They can have more than 4GB of RAM * You can put reasonable sized standard SATA SSDs in them, or user-replaceable

I own a .co.uk for my personal site. I did have a .uk for a while, but it serves no purpose when I already have .co.uk. I also owned FNAME.space, FNAME.tech and FNAME.xyz but never got around to switching my site to one. In hindsight, FNAME

Great blog post and certainly a lot to take away. I've spoken quite a few times and several different conferences/events and love it. However, the thing I struggle with most is coming up with a topic. I find it incredibly hard to

Its so easy to find time to read if you just consider picking up a book rather checking your phone. It surprised me how much reading I got done if I carried a book and read when I'd otherwise be scrolling through Facebook.

I found out yesterday that a new colleague who is transferring from another department is used to having mandatory hour long daily standups. We were all shocked that a manager could justify wasting that much time every single day. We have n

Python is a great solution to the problem as well as being installed on most Linux distros by default. Chances are devs would need for their other dev tools anyway even not on a Linux machine.

Amazing! D has really been exciting me for the past couple of years. It has great potential. Hopefully a fully FOSS compiler will bring it right into the mainstream.

I see an awful lot of posts like OP here where they're for some reason thinking that using a specific distro, or even DE, locks them into using specific packages. You can literally install anything on any Linux distro. Some things migh

I've been a GNU Screen user for a good while. The increased productivity is wonderful. However, I'm prevented from switching to Tmux because you can't attach to the same session from multiple terminals, and show a different w

Travel both the country and as much of the world as I could afford. Visit all the friends that I don't see very often. Make a real effort to read all those books I havent yet read.

Surely the solution there would be to make it a compile-time option. Enable threaded jobs, or process jobs.

My thought process went from 'Oh that sounds cool! ' too 'Ha, no' the instant I read the €3,000 projected price tag.

One of the best things about Linux systems is having this huge pool of apps that you update centrally that are guaranteed to work on your system. This is a backwards step, if anything.

The BrokenThorn OS Dev tutorials have a great section for bootloader development. [1] You can find a whole bunch more stuff on the OS Dev Wiki too. [2] [1] http://www.brokenthorn.com/Resources/OSDevIndex.html [2] wiki

How does playing a single song on a loop keep you focused on working and being productive. Doesn't the repetitiveness distract/annoy you?

The writer makes an odd choice opting for 1333Mhz memory. I would have thought if they're already spending that much on this big of an upgrade they would have gone for at least 1600Mhz. Or can you not get 16000Mhz memory for a Mac Pro?

The output provided when looking at the given example squaring function without and then with the compiler option -O (GCC 5.1.0 or Clang 3.6) is rather interesting. The code goes from something rather crazy looking, to something that a huma

I'm hoping this app will combine fast startup speed with its tiny size. The current Android app is a little bit ridiculous for what is essentially a web page.

Cub scout leader - I get to watch 7 to 10 year olds grow up and be a part of that growing up. Teaching them skills they'll find useful in later life and hopefully giving them experiences they'll remember fondly. Programming - Maki
