XML is dead? I encounter XML in my daily programming life, even if my personal preference is JSON. I guess the main and most interesting concepts/languages are: Prolog, Lisp, Forth and Smalltalk Perhaps an array language like APL as we

1-2% on a large scale is pretty significant. If each request on average takes, say, a second, and is then reduced by 1-2%, that'd be 990ms. 10ms saved per request. Let's say that on average, 5 uncached pages are opened per day per

I wonder whether instead of closing topics as "off-topic", "duplicate" or "whatever", which can obviously be perceived as negative to someone, might it be a better alternative to do the opposite? Instead of bla

Wikipedia's a minefield for people with ADD, yep. But oddly enough, I found that Stackoverflow's "hot questions" or whatever thing is equally distracting. I'm on a professional software developer network, and then I

NaN is the ultimate horror within JavaScript's type system. Other than that, you're spot-on.

If there's one thing I realized as a technical person/programmer: it's that other people do not think like this at all. Barely anyone give a crap about source-code, it could be written in an amalgamation of COBOL, ActionScr

Lobste.rs feels like what Hackernews was when I first got here. I remember reading up on so many weird and cool personal projects on HN, along with obscure math, logic and black-magic programming. Nowadays it feels like HN slowly moved towa

If you're teaching JS, you could use <audio> tags, JS execution is of course really easy in the browser.

I don't think 'three haskell tutorials' is ever enough to teach you a completely new programming language/paradigm. You wouldn't learn C in 'three C tutorials' either, would you? Perhaps a Haskell book wit

I can add one anecdatum, I'm from the Netherlands and don't know of drug abuse in the two businesses I interned at. I do know that some friends of mine, who are devs/engineers, occasionally use various drugs recreationally, b

Wait, ok. Humans can fix their teeth by not eating too much sugars and acids, cleaning their teeth and swishing spit around? If you're for real, please donate yourself to science :|

To add to your list, I recently saw an HN submission where a PhD student made a markdown-derivative with some explorable features, not sure what it was called though.

What I still don't understand is why there isn't a Wikipedia for explorables. 3b1b's videos are excellent, but if they were interactive, open-source and in a similar model to Wikipedia, people could contribute and improve upo

If you don't want to pay for a commercial license, just use PySide. It's LGPL-licensed and has nearly exactly the same API as PyQT. So near that when I switched out PyQT with PySide, all I had to do was change two import statement

I used to use GIMP, but could never figure out how to use it. Downloaded Paint.NET, it worked _exactly_ as expected. I was able to get running and perform the edits I needed to perform in seconds. I've never had such a positive introdu

A few months ago I tried backing up some files to ipfs, and I think I also took a look at SIA. The interfaces were annoying, albeit somewhat usable. I decided not to back anything up because of my very limited knowledge on what these projec
