I think one of the reasons JS succeeded is precisely a major complaint of experienced developers: globals [1]. But this, (perhaps as with PHP) is what enabled novice developers —some of whom eventually became experienced developers—to learn

I'm wondering why the grid notation doesn't account for the irregular variation, and why the grid size values are hard coded, so mini and large-size sudoku is out too. The second is easy to correct in a live (i.e., not pedagogical) version

I cancelled with the same logic you used. I too tried to let them know, but there wasn't a good option in their exit survey, which was actually biased to mask my actual opinion. Instead, I posted to my blog. [1] So far as no partial refunds

Part of this perhaps comes from the way Moore's law is presented in introductory Information Systems classes at university business schools. (I'm currently teaching one such.) As sad as it sounds, university freshmen/sophomores aren't as tr

These rulings are all from district or magistrate judges, which means forum shopping is still a viable strategy for plaintiffs. Until EFF can quote these sort of rulings on the appeals court level, not much will change. However, if the trol

I concur. In metro Atlanta (USA), my mortgage+taxes+fees is rather less than in this game (and what I assume would be a smaller place in-game.) Having a dog and a high-end cell plan, among other expenses seemed incongruous. Visiting school

Wait .. you're saying that good leadership is setting expectations early, being consistent, and following up on them?! Of course it is. In my experience those are the two hardest things for people (including me) to do.

Although I'm in favor of open access journals for a handful of reasons, I think there are a couple of things working against the idea: First, handling fees. As someone starting out in the field, there are a great number of journals that adv
