I'm using Feedly. What unique features does NewsBlur have?

My thoughts exactly. There's even too much of meta-knowledge here :) Without some solid background, it's not something you can casually pick up as a hobby. But yes, as a programmer (not dealing with anything AI-related - right now

In my opinion it depends on the type of code. It's unlikely to find beauty in a run-of-the-mill CRUD app; it can be nice and neat at best. Beautiful code is possible when there's creativity involved - there should be some conceptu

Thanks for the link. Well, of course I just quoted a few examples without pretending it's legitimate piece of statistics, however, there hasn't been all that many world chess champions so far (and Botvinnik, Smyslov, Euwe, Karpov,

What scientific studies are you referring to? Of course chess grandmasters aren't all-around geniuses, but many traits that are prerequisites for a successful chess player certainly are translatable into careers in other fields, and co

Well, yes, but it's still humans standing on the shoulders of other humans. Even though human players do memorize opening books, it stays in the family so to speak. Meanwhile a human player facing an AI engine is battling both the AI,

While it's certainly a change for the better, personally I find the Streams API is still clunky and lacking. In compare to LINQ, or Kotlin (case in point: http://stackoverflow.com/a/34642255 ).

Well, clearly it should be split: One knock (.) = “We are bad.” Silence ( ) = “We are unconscious or dead.”

I agree. I use it on a daily basis. It has a lot of shortcomings, but I still find it more convenient to use than SourceTree. I'm not aware about any other sensible GUI clients for Windows.

I just gave my throwaway email address, let them spam it all they want. I wasn't overly impressed by their app (not to say that it's bad, given the overall scarcity of decent GUI options for Git), but I wanted to take a peek... ha

Well, every course of action one takes when mental health is concerned should be consulted with a professionalist... that goes without saying... anyone indiscriminately taking advice from internet forums is playing with fire. It shouldn&#x2

I never said this is sound advice for bipolar people as opposed to those suffering from depression. As a matter of fact, I never insisted this is good advice for anyone, I specifically stressed that I'm not a doctor. I merely pointed o

I'm not a doctor, but I've come across a concept that says sleep deprivation is actually helpful, or at least it eases depression symptoms. Eg. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-sleep-deprivat...

My impression was that Visual Studio's UI (not all of it, but presentation layer) is C# / WPF.

Far from likely. For those fed up with Java, Android has Kotlin already.
979.
by V-2 11y ago
Surprised noone mentions Kotlin. It's quite Swift-like, backed by JetBrains (Android Studio is based on their IntelliJ Idea), and 1.0 has only just been released. It has full interoperability with Java. Given the above, I don't se

Hm, I don't think WPF is abandoned.

Do you perhaps remember which (desktop) email clients made favorable impression on you?

Makes sense - you can't know the right abstraction upfront. As Hejlsberg said: "If you ask beginning programmers to write a calendar control, they often think to themselves, "Oh, I'm going to write the world's best

This letter reminds me of a historical anecdote (I read about it in some history book, it could be apocryphial though) in which Hitler's generals were faced with some ludicrous strategical concepts of his. But, of course, noone really

Grandparent, you should have said something along the lines of "authors didn't give an indication of knowing the Simpson's paradox even though their paper was a great opportunity to do so". Or hear from forum lawyers :)

It's not clear that you're being sarcy. These days a lot of people hold genuine beliefs that are indistinguishable from sarcasm.

Or maybe more experienced/open-source involved programmers have a stronger proclivity for choosing abstract user handles? There's no end to this guessing game, all they revealed was some correlation (and not a very strong one at t
