I had similar problem, but then I started to look at it from the other way around, and now I am just carrying around a few concepts in my head that I really like, and every time I need to learn new language, I am first looking at how these

I have always had feeling, that this style of visual programming would be better suited to functional paradigm. It would be nice to be able to visually plug a lambda into higher order function. Bonus points if it has some notion of reactive

Deus Ex:HR and Dishonored sort of filled that void for me :-)

Depends what kind of math skills are you looking for. I remember my classmate, 1st year at university, that passed one of his classes just because his calculator was capable of precise enough numeric integration. Next semester he was requir

A.f.a.i.k, asian in my mind is kind of similar term to nordic/scandinavian, that it describes a cultural/geographical stereotype. I.e, when someone says asian, I imagine peoples from china, japan and korea, maybe vietnam, but prob

I missed mostly three things: 1. simple data definition. Clojure has EDN, python has nice syntax as well, and javascript has json. 2. pretty print 3. succinct function definition/execution, and standard array of functional tooling (map

I will try to continue your clay/sticks parable, but in my limited clojure experience, you seldom create a clay model, it resembles more a creation of a custom clay brick-set. Most of the time, all of the team is either building bricks

In my experience, the readability of Java is not that great, perhaps due to verbosity. Especially when you want to create a DSL with some type-safety guarantees. Wrapping a head around a factory that is configured by fluent-like-api, with i

I am reading a response of a pastor to a students complaint on a sermon. If I could read the sermon, or the complaint, I could comment on the response to the complaint.

I think it will take a long time before we wouldn't need these configuration automation tools at all just because of containers. Yes, even if you are really happy with docker, you will probably use something else to bootstrap the host.

I don't think it makes that much sense w.r.t stream events: 1. most of the analytics/event-stream processing will be done on the backend anyway 2. If you are picky enough you can do functional programming in js. Reative.js is de

It depends. If I were to work mostly alone on a smaller project, I would use clojure/clojure-script, because I used it at my work for a year and really liked it. If I were to work with more people, I would first ask them. Do they have

It makes sense, if you consider that between Christmas and Easter, there is a ~month long fast.

I try to expand the meaning of "our own" in my mind. And for me in this crisis it might be easier than for you, because my great-grandpa was a migrant worker from Ukraine, and my grandpa is from Palestine, and settled down in Euro

Well depends what do you want to teach :) I personally was introduced to programming as a hobby when I was 10y old, in an after-school class, where we used visual basic for applications. This was early 2000's and VBA editor bundled wit

I think the "enterprise support on premisses" is the main deal, along with the fact that we have already used it for some of our big projects.

We have colleagues in china and generally speaking, you find an alternative, and host it on premise. I believe this is the reason why they use Atlassian[1] products, where rest of us would use trello, e.t.c. [1] company that created jira

I'd like to hijack part of this discussion and ask, if any of you know about a good modern c programming book. Because I'd like to read the K&R C destructuring book, not just a removed chapter at the end of the book :-) I som

That is something I was worried about, because afaik, ghcjs is still fairly experimental. But ability to use ghc's magic to produce javascript sounds aluring :-) I think, that if you could integrate source-map capabilities (haven'
