We shouldn't be writing résumés. We should be writing academic- or engineering-style six pagers where the target audience consists of your peers (and not anyone under the org's HR umbrella). This is why I think cover letters are m

No. And except for the ones in your most recent comment, you've gotten answers to all your questions, and have been evasive about every one that has been put to you. I can jump to the end here: you want to see if there's some way

Now you have your argument confused with one that works (and isn't bullshit). What's the comment I should reread? What's the comment I considered snarky?

You have me confused with someone else.

It wasn't unkind, and it wasn't snarky. If you think it was, that's because you are reading that into it. Read it a different way.

Neither the existence of this link nor anything in it contradicts the developer's earlier post. It looks like the situation was inaccurately summarized by the HN user with the top comment here—the PeaZip developer didn't announce

Not at all what I was getting at. Most of the complaints here are trifling and/or matters of taste. There are good reasons to disfavor Python, but you have only provided bad ones.

Great post. An issue I have with it is the way it frames the speed of a language, e.g., Python, C, etc., especially here: > I implemented the same program using pure C with libxml, which has a SAX API. [...] It takes just 0.56 seconds to

That's a category error. JS is a programming language. All the bells and whistles you mention are part of Web platform machinery with APIs through JS-level bindings accessible to programs written by website authors. The language&#x2

People working on developer docs would do well to make them work well in terminal-based browsers, too. This should be the norm.

Nice try, but no. Everything that runs on a server is not ipso facto an algorithm. It's a word that has a specific meaning, which you would (I'd hope, at least) be able to grasp if you weren't ignoring half the words in the

Without even touching how every other thing you said is wrong (esp. about it being accurate), how is "algorithm" more descriptive than "artificial intelligence"?

I go to libraries a lot. What's killing libraries is the near total disregard for traditional norms about how to behave when you're in the library. Bringing it to the attention of staff isn't just fruitless. Often it'
