I wonder why. Isn't it so unproductive to keep tearing down stuff and rebuilding them with the next shiniest tool ? I mean, you are making very little progress on product features.

"Yes but real programmers don't really need a REPL" I'm hearing this for the first time. I don't call myself a real programmer but REPL is a godsend. There's no quicker way to test something - a small function,

Forced migration != slavery, forced prostitution and mercury poisoning of drinking water. Yes, I am well aware how electricity generation degrades the environment, but there is a ray of hope that renewables will kick in and take some or mos

True but we don't hear such atrocities committed in producing electricity. I am talking of large scale human exploitation not just the environment. Though I must admit the coal mining is heavily exploited in poorer countries.

This is why I hope, really hope, that bitcoin or some crypto currency becomes a stable value store, pushing people away from the likes of Gold, diamond. Almost all these resource based value stores are exploited - gold, diamonds, oil, anima

I have to try this. I did some eye exercises about 3-4 years back called Trataka. No scientific evidence of it's benefits whatsoever but I had nothing to lose. A few minutes of gazing a candle in a dark room. I have worn glasses from a

Depends on where you live. Even with kids, you don't need a car in London. You can rent cars over the weekends. Hauling groceries is a PITA but with a good backpack, this is also solved. If you live in some place like Barbican, everyth

One disadvantage of magsafe is that siting cross legged and working on your lap is a hassle. The magnet disengages very easily. However I would rather have magsafe than see my 15 inch pro flying in the air when my 4yo trips over the chargin

Yes the mechanical complexity is by no means trivial, but I wouldn't call it unreasonably difficult. Reaching for an object in 3D space is bit of a path planning headache. "what's currently done with a jet of water..." I

1) Wash my dishes, dry them and put them away completely automatically. I have actually thought about this, since this is a chore that I absolutely hate. In my view no one should be subject to the task of making dishes. Some people seem to

Wholeheartedly agree. These companies most likely are trying t o understand the 'why' behind your algorithm choices. Of course, there are exceptions but largely this is the case. Understanding the why only comes to you, if you rea

I'd be hard pressed to believe that 40% of Indians are on par with the most destitute bits of Africa. Any source to validate this ?

Not really. The new generation hires cooks. Works out far cheaper than eating out. The demand for cooks has skyrocketed in my neighborhood.

I wouldn't really classify this as an introductory course. Some background in A* search, Markov processes etc is required. David has a fantastic narration style and this is one of those courses where I had to step out because I had ot

Well, the command line/voice interface is really useful once you know what you want, it is less useful or even a deterrent if you are in an exploratory mode. I've had several occasions where I just want my regular pizza ordered wi

It would take as long or much longer to become well versed in all the nitty-gritty details of TCP/IP, DNS, etc. than it would to gain a solid understanding of Ethereum. I have to agree to this as I have written software to implement at

My initial days of running had a dramatic positive effect on my productivity. However once my body got used to running I see no difference. I must admit I have stuck to the same pace and distance more or less. 5k in about 35 mins.

Thank you. In that case is it possible to access DOM elements within a C++ program the way we do in Javascript.

Sorry, for sounding this stupid. Does this imply you can now do web programming with C++ instead of Javascript.

This is really slick. Clang took about 20 secs to load on my quad core MBPro. How does this change web development ? Do we need an Ecmascript equivalent for C++ ?

The racing analogy might have some flaws. Seat belts and helmets are for protection, they don't aid you in driving. Ice axes and supplemental oxygen aid you in climbing. You could very well climb without them. They are not safety devic

IMHO, most of the recent purchases of Bitcoin are mostly because of FOMO. That's the only explanation I can gather for something that increases in value so rapidly without any underlying change in the fundamentals. Quite a similar phe

Some hedge funds do not have any uptight culture and they will most likely readily embrace the goofy glasses and gloves. Way better than a cluster of 6 monitors.

What I meant was that if you distribute your money across all cryptocurrencies even if some of them become worthlesss you won’t have anything to regret, in he long run. I don’t know if anyone who had the foresight to cherrypick MSFT and AMZ
