I agree. Unless Khan Academy has recently started handing out degrees or certificates that people use to get ahead in something (as opposed to just learning stuff), I'm not sure I see the point of this.

ReactJS is quicker than you'd expect for a gigantic JavaScript-based DOM diffing engine, but somehow this got distorted into the misconception that it's faster than native. It's not. Like with most new technologies, we&#x27

Not sure jumping on such a minor point is a productive use of our time, but just for the sake of clarification: sure I can, personally. You have no basis for disputing my intention. I have never in my life made a decision to purchase a se

I think a lot of blog posts like these get triggered by some acute event which pushed the writer over the edge, and it's expected this will shine through in the text. The rest is probably due to living in an employer-typical bubble. If

I think for most of us here the appeal of booking a container ship route would be the isolation that hypothetically allows for uninterrupted programming plus the romance of the idea. On a cruise ship, you have to deal with personnel and oth

The victims seem to agree the search was sloppy because it was obvious, but I would argue the main value of searching your locked safe and leaving behind a mess is exactly in sending this signal, letting you know you're being watched.

Seems like it's a transaction brokerage service. I don't think the problem is the finance jargon, but more the fact the site doesn't show anything of substance (apart from the unexplained blockchain search widget). It doesn&#

I agree that Joe is probably overthinking it, but at the same time, I would be turned off to find myself at a programming event that plays up my "maleness" by stuffing in lots of sports things ;) On the other hand, I find flowers

We're getting side tracked somewhat, but these preferences are a bit arbitrary. In my experience every platform I ever encountered has both interesting options and frustrating limits to its configurability. If we're being honest

This sounds very alien to me. Only one of the factors I listed could possibly be fixed by choosing the right distro, so I must attribute the rest of your success story to extreme culture differences. Don't get me wrong: it's nice

This is an extremely difficult proposition, especially given the fact that most people don't know what an operating system even is. If I influence someone to switch from Windows to desktop Linux, I will be the person responsible for th

I think familiarity (or lack thereof) is a big part of the puzzle there. Assuming I'm in the US, and I'm asked "how are you?" by a random sales person, my first thought is "you have no business asking me that".
