We can only speculate about what happened here. Whatever it was, it happened in some mixed cloud of panic, fear, anger, shame, &c &c. I think the whole project of trying to evaluate the rationality of Madsen's response is poorl

From a brief bit of clicking around, the author has: designed several typefaces[1], written a long text on typography[cited previously], and has done enough programming to have developed the publishing framework he uses in his books[2], and

Or it could be that the best resources for information about a specific language exist outside of stackoverflow; I think this is often the case with Rust, for instance, where I will generally turn to users.rust-lang.org, or IRC for question

I'm curious about how you think about your feelings here. What do you think makes these things seem 'awesome', to you? When I was a kid, I definitely thought that guns were 'cool', in some sense. I thought about the

I am not particularly well equipped to answer this, and would welcome someone doing a better job, but I don't want to see this stand as the top comment and not see a strong counter-argument. In any case, the simple argument for why lan

I don't understand this sentiment at all. What does Python3 require of you that isn't necessary in Python 2? Print as a function is my only example. Python 3 lets you continue writing the same same simple stuff as ever. It also pr

Before taking a look at this I would encourage anyone to look into Michael Landy's Break Down[0][1][2], where the artist first cataloged and then destroyed everything he owned (except for a pair of overalls) including his vintage saab

I've been learning a lot lately by following along with the development of xi[1], a new text editor written in Rust. Through reading that project's RFCs I've then come across other interesting projects, like swiobe[2] and wi[

I couldn't agree more with this. Cargo (and the general desire to think and work hard on ease-of-use) is a huge part of what makes Rust a pleasure. It alone would be enough for me to steer someone with experience in neither to Rust ove

this isn't quite what you asked, but Debug ( http://www.imore.com/debug ) is really good. It's focused on Apple stuff, but features some really tremendous in-depth interviews, and Guy Ritchie is the best technical i

There have been various modernization attempts over the years, all stymied by a lack of time/money/labour. If someone wanted to take on this project, it certainly deserves the attention.

I've been using rust to as a more performance-oriented tool alongside python. It _is_ a different tool: there are certain tasks (for an irl example: taking a Unicode data file, parsing its contents, transforming it in some way, and wri
