I don't know (yet) about any of the resources mentioned in this post but let me share my experience. Last year I came back to Python after several years spent mostly in JVM land and I was looking for some refresher so when I saw Python

The AA way was described in The Power of Habit as one of the examples of successful habit change. Basically: keep the habit's cue(e.g. feeling depressesed) and the reward(social interaction) but replace the bad habit(drinking) with a b

On a related note, the XML standard defines a way to include external files in the document. If you come across a service which replies with a part of your request(e.g. validation errors) and uses XML parser with this feature turned on, whi

Python is actually a good example of such language. I feel like it started to stagnate around a decade ago(slow adoption of Python 3, poor packaging, Ruby on Rails winning over Django etc) but then it has reinvented itself in the area of ML

"A History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps" is a great podcast but... as the name implies it tries to be as exhaustive as possible and as a result progresses extremely slowly through the history of philosophy. For those interested

For me this is the most interesting article I've seen on HN this month, thanks for posting this. I also love the subtle yet justified nod to Kant in the title.

The course description certainly strikes a chord with me but there's no trial, no opinions on it outside their website, it looks like they've barely started(in late June this year), basically no way to find out the course quality

Thanks again, I saw this at work and didn't read through the updates. I really like the convenience of Datacamp platform and their "small-bite" approach to learning and I would be sad to see the most of external courses remov

Thank you for the clarification. I don't want to further speculate about the issue but as as annual Datacamp subscriber I am wondering what effect could it have on the service. I guess it means sharp drop in new courses but what about

Adding Elvis and safe navigation operators to Java was discussed before Java 7, over 10 years ago. Sadly they never made it even to the official proposal lists and with Optional introduced in Java 8 I don't think we'll get them an

I'm glad you mentioned them. Autechre produced my favourite hacking background music. I agree, people interested in the generative music should definitely give NTS Sessions a listen. But for the newcomers I'd suggest to start wit

I'm afraid that in the search for the perfect, drop-in replacement for meat we're in fact heading towards the uncanny valley. People who grew up eating meat won't simply switch over to eating something which taste and look 99

It depends on the things that you want to learn and amount of extra work you want to put into it. For instance, I used Go for the most of AoC 2018 problems and I had always been using C/C++ in algorithmic contests when execution time m

What features from Django are you missing and in which frameworks? Comparing Django(admittedly, from few years ago when I worked with it) with Spring, I'd say the latter is more feature-rich and way more customizable because of its mo

One thing not mentioned by anyone yet, that kinda annoys me is the fact that Python libraries use different naming conventions. Even though PEP 8 has existed for 17 years now, there are many examples where I see lower_case_with_underscores

This is a quite embarrassing bug because it affects probably the most used class in Java. However I think using += for the Strings is not that popular among experienced developers because they want to be sure that no unnecessary Strings ar

Notepad++ is definitely an option if you're on Windows and looking for something free(it's GPL-licenced). Feature-wise it's on a par with Sublime but it has slightly less polished UX, e.g. there's no real-time regex hig
