I picked it all up from college philosophy courses and practical application of philosophy (yes, it does exist, just not often taught). I plan to eventually earn a Ph.D. in philosophy and currently have enough credit to be between a major a

Cannot agree more on design talent. In my experience, good back end developers (not just adequate, good) are a dime a dozen comparatively. Developers love to think that code is everything, but as many have learned, it's the business th

This is the tip of a really trashy iceberg when it comes to general healthcare costs. Not only is consistent prices by patient a problem, but prices by procedure and by hospital has a huge range as well, as documented many times. An operati

If you're browsing this and say "Great, another developer article shitting on Apple after the Pro release who thinks they have figured out everything about the company", please do read this. I was truly surprised at the depth

Agreed completely. I would suspect that BS/MS and Ph.D. interviewees would be very distinct from a straight MS, but this was a missed opportunity to look at that, even if it is just interview performance.

I somehow went through life not knowing the + trick. Thanks, and commenting to hopefully highlight this for anyone else who didn't know.

This idea is crazy, and if distilled properly, could do a ton. This iteration is most certainly not going to be a part of it. I suspect we are decades to centuries off of this being realized. Why one decided to make a completely new vocabul

I think the key mistake this piece made is assuming that having an elite education stops you from being culturally and socially aware beyond your class. Sure, many top colleges don't teach this, but as someone who grew up in a family w

Frankly, all this article did is remind me all the reasons why I hate the startup and particularly VC world.

As a Steven Universe fan, I got quite a chuckle out of this.

There's a subtle argument here philosophically that I think is crucially tied to AI: determinism. If the world is deterministic, a sufficiently powered and advanced AI with enough data could actually predict the weather, not just for t

I think that's a very valid question. I think Pyret is attempting to reach out to people who may not view Lisp's favorably and still convey many of the valuable concepts. Whether or not it is the right approach or if it will trans

Pyret is inspired from Racket, which starts at step 1 with functional programming. It's not about readability or getting people to learn as fast as possible to write basic code, but to try and teach core program design principles easil

I still can't believe Magsafe is gone. I swear I save a Mac every month via Magsafe and worry about when I have to upgrade in a few years. They better release a clean version of this by then.

Self-publishing over publishing, sure, but this is very based on the content of the book. As someone who actually interacts with College Confidential and the like, an educated book on the subject making money doesn't surprise me in the

Yes, she has. Hence why she is lower than the normally acceptable candidate. It doesn't make her equal to Trump, though. 1. Clinton has a platform that is static (even if it's crafted and not a personal belief). Trump's chang

1. To answer your question, yes. 2. Putting Trump and Clinton on the same level simply isn't accurate. I would revise this: |============================X==| amazing candidate |================X==============| normally acceptable candi

As someone who doesn't work incredibly often with Javascript but has dabbled with MEAN and extensions of MEAN, I found one of the last questions a bit biased in its results: "I would like JavaScript to be my main programming langu
