Anyone who's read it care to share their thoughts? I've got more queued up books than I can handle right now!

WOW, that's definitely the longest README I've ever seen on a github project!

Yes. Both of these are fantastic. I still procrastinate like crazy sometimes though, so I'd add to this small list a book called the power of habit. This is the missing link on how to make your behaviour automatic.

It's not the silly certificate that you should value from these courses, it the learning itself. I think you overestimate the utility of formal qualifications for getting a programming job (assuming that that's what you're talking about her

If you read some of his other stuff you'll see that they did hire him and paid him somewhere in the region of 5 figures per week. :-)

I think there is, but only if there's a recognised convention in both the context and the short name. Examples: for n in [some list of numbers] def my_view(req): Monad m => m a (x, y) = coords I think this is a case when know if it's a

Seconded, I'd like to know this too!

Here are some links I've been collecting for when my daughter is old enough: http://www.in-the-attic.co.uk/2012/10/04/teaching-my-5-year-... The Scratch programming environment for kids: http://scratch.mit.edu/ http://hackaday.com/2012

I'm halfway through the book "The power of habit" at the moment and here's two little titbits I've picked up so far: 1. Habits have a trigger and a reward and you'll get nowhere unless you work within this fact. Yesterday I had some success

I'd like to give Rx a try (javascript mainly but .Net too) but it seems like a very large API to learn, and there seemed to be a lack of good resources last time I looked. Can anyone who's used it comment on their experiences or point me to

It worked well for me, and there's cabal-dev too. BTW, I think virthualenv is now called hsenv.

I've seen some comments/postings to HN about g-wan, and I still can't work out if it's some really elaborate troll or not. Has anyone played with it? I can't imagine that this very strange license section in the FAQ: http://gwan.ch/faq#lic

Interesting article. I'd love to hear from anyone who does this with kids (I would guess at a slightly lower moving frequency)? I grew up in several places as a kid (my Dad's an engineer) and I'd love to find a way to give my children some

I agree. I've written a fair bit of python and I lean fairly far towards the FP style. However it feels like ice skating uphill compared to using a language that has FP baked in.

It's getting some great reviews on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/RIBC5ED8IUT4X > Despite this book being an excellent take down of the pharmaceutical industry which everyone should read it completely fails as a flickbook. I'd

IMHO (as someone with no programming qualifications at all) there's no such thing as a developer who's not self-taught. You don't get taught anything (especially programming) you get out there and you fucking LEARN it!

If the independence from industry and focus on the scientific method can be truly maintained then this can only be a good thing. One comment, the board of directors seem pretty top heavy with "big pharma" and VC/private equity types, which

This means the <title> tag inside the <head> element does it not? As in <html> <head> <title>Something SEO worthy</title> <head> ... Or is it a separate <meta> tag?

This is a very thorough and useful guide. I've always been pretty turned off by the SEO "community" as guides like this mostly come across as guesswork and quackery. On a personal note I read Andrew's ebook a while ago (which is very good)

This is a great post, I particularly like this quote: "Motivation is the start, but if it’s not solidified into discipline, it usually fades away into regret pretty quickly once you realize you never acted on it." I thin

Wow, that's a really great site. May I suggest working location into your amazon affiliate links. I'm sitting here in the UK looking at the refrigerator oatmeal recipe. If the links had said amazon.co.uk there's a much higher chance I would
