This website is really well done. I love the 'Honestly...It's time for a change.' Not sure why ending support is controversial for some people. Support for XP HAS to end at some point. It doesn't make business sense for

Agreed. And at least it's more clear that dependencies are being injected.
273.
by ahuth 13y ago
Sure, that makes sense to me. Looks like I misunderstood the author's intent. This should be the only way, though. Also, I didn't even realize that this way doesn't require .toString magic.

by ahuth 13y ago
Gotcha. Your point is that this way (that doesn't break when minified) should be the only way to do it, right? I'll agree with that. Initially, I thought your point was the dependency injection as a concept needs to go away in Ang

by ahuth 13y ago
You don't need to worry about dependency injection breaking when your code is minified. You can supply a list of the dependencies as strings, and minified code will work fine: angular.module("whatever").controller(&quot

The point of "JavaScript as the assembly language of the web" isn't that Javascript is exactly like Assembly was/is. The point is that Javascript is as low-level as web-programming gets, and you can craft Javascript manu

> Why not just improve on those two products instead of making new ones that are simply short lived fads? I'm sure people said the same thing about vi/emacs when they came out.

Guess I will have to break down and learn vim... no invite
280.
by ahuth 13y ago
If vim works great for you, then rock on! We can't have too many editors, though. Bad ones will fail to gain traction, and it's always good to get new ideas and modern techniques out there.

I'm sure it's not terrible to use, but I'm not sure it's worth it for a caveman like me to put time into learning it. Sublime Text and Brackets already work very efficiently and allow me to focus on getting things done.

by ahuth 13y ago
I was being a smartass, which wasn't fair to angersocks. My point is that I can load up Sublime Text or Brackets or this (maybe?) and work in a very efficient way.
283.
by ahuth 13y ago
Yeah, I understand what you're saying. It's just hard for me to justify (to myself) learning vim (or emacs, or vi, or whatever) when I can just load up Sublime Text and start working on something. Put another way: working with Sub

by ahuth 13y ago
I was being a smartass, which was uncalled for. Sorry, Angersock! Also, I do have a mac, so maybe I'll check out vimtutor. My point is that I'm very new to programming, and it's so much easier for me to load up Sublime Text a

I think he means that we need editors that are powerful AND easy to use. Seems like vim isn't really for someone like me (I haven't studied PhD level computer science and I don't write compilers and/or lisp interpreters

True. I hadn't thought of that, but it would be interesting to know.

I'm pretty sure that Ruby was out 10 years before Rails.

I can't give you the academic answer, but I can tell you what it means in practice. Rest is a standardized way of structuring url's and http verbs. For instance: 1) To get all "posts" from a blog, you send a GET request

Brackets is actually a very good code editor. I never use live preview. I do, however, do rails with it. This includes everything: ruby, erb, CSS, sass, JavaScript/coffeescript, and even handlebars. Live development is it's least

Wow, that is insane. Think the police or FBI should try to track down whoever sent that?

He's saying that he wants both: fast design and fast performance. I think what he means is that 'safety, type systems, homoiconicity...' may or may not be important, but he's more worried about the end result. So if othe

by ahuth 13y ago
I don't think his point is that "safety, type systems and homoiconicity" don't matter. His point is that those things don't interest him as much as getting things done do. Those things may help him get things done,

by ahuth 13y ago
Safety/type systems may significantly aid making it work/fast, but the end result is more important to him than more abstract concepts. Some people are really interested in making compilers, right? While others (such as me) just

by ahuth 13y ago
I didn't pick up an anti-intellectual tone. His point is the same way I feel: stuff like type systems and homoiconicity (I don't even know what that means) don't interest me. I'd rather think about the work that I'm

Not sure about everyone else here, but I'm definitely not smart enough to learn anything about programming from _why. _why's (poignant) guide is awesome and entertaining... but I'm not learning programming from it.

From my experience (as a former 8 year old who had to do logo), this could be a great way to get kids to think of programming/computers as something they should learn more about. Most 8 year olds are looking at logo (or whatever) and b

I'm pretty sure the point of the article is to learn about how to use git by implementing its basic functionality. The point isn't to implement how git works. On a side note, I'm always amazed when someone implements things t

This is definitely true. Finding the non-naive solution is still more of a math exercise, though. I've spent a lot of time reading wikipedia articles for algorithms that I don't understand trying to solve some these problems.

There's only one problem for me with Project Euler. Eventually, the problems become more about coming up with the mathematical algorithm you need to solve it. That may be what you want. However, a lot of these are outside my math knowl
