And now we wait for the first reports of production services that were shutdown due to spending limits :)

My humanity is a virtue. At least, that's what the Ghost in the Shell remake told me.

I see this a lot and never quite understand it. Code structuring to me seems more like a craft, something that is improved through experience and wisdom and not abstract rules.

Took a look into the source of the OS that I'm reading the Panic web page on. Absolutely disgusting that there's over 1.5M lines of code _in the kernel alone_. This is the kind of software bloat that is the death of our industry.

Oops, I said "couple of weeks" when what I meant was "couple of days"! So current progress with just Justin Sandercoe's online courses (and not having had any full days to devote yet) is that I've learnt a few

Brain plasticity and learning "power" aside, I believe the biggest difference between learning something as a child and as an adult is simple how conscious we are that we're trying to learn something and how much we self-refl

If it's a spectrum then aren't we all "on it" at some point?

Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby I don't consider it a bible of CS, but it's one of the most playful, imaginative and, essentially, fun, introductory programming books that I've read. The analogy of the truthiness of a value

> Piano is easier In terms of barrier-to-entry, I'd agree. There's a greater requirement for dexterity in the left hand (assuming traditional layout) to get a good, consistent tone from the instrument, and much more "up fr

> Any job in engineering beats that In what sense? Usefulness to society? Comfort? Pay? I'd argue that the janitors and garbagemen are doing much more of a public good than the proportion of software "engineering" that goe

Surprisingly no, it's not an enterprise place. The actual company feels more on the other side of the spectrum, and has a fairly 'young' culture, along with an overwhelming amount of 'social coding', for want of a b

I've considered this quite a bit. When I picture someone with a strong background in programming and CS going into another field I always imagine there's a lot of potential for really understanding problems in that field and apply

I've considered both of those career switches (ranger and mail carrier) myself for those exact reasons. Deliveroo too, as the idea of being able to cycle around all day seems quite appealing.

It makes me smile that while proponents of censorship and blocking of parts of the Internet use the "Think of the children!" argument, I never hear anyone shouting "Think of the adults!" Of course, in this case we'r

I think about leaving programming every day. I love programming, but I'm not sure I enjoy software development as a career. I enjoy coding and understanding how computer systems work, but I don't care for the constant changes in t

That's a really good point actually. Perhaps Project Euler has a CS association where it doesn't really belong because it's often mentioned in CS/programming challenges threads, even if it's not intended to be the f

Project Euler has always seemed to be more about mathematical "tricks" than about imparting any kind of understanding of a computer science topic through a structured set of challenges. The only thing I found amazing was how littl

With Hummingbird's inclusion of a trailing line as part of the indicator of note duration you also have to read ahead in the score and then jump back if you want to use the trailing line to identify the duration, which is a lot harder

I suppose there's always the argument for survivability. The greater the number of humans and the more distributed we are, the greater chance we (that is, humanity in general) has at surviving.

Does denouncing someone as a bigot make you yourself a bigot or is it okay because _obviously_ their views are bad and it's okay to take a moral high ground?

Over half a million lines of Angular? May I ask what the application is and how that's broken down language-wise?

Thanks for posting this. It's just as much of a tongue twister as The Chaos :)
