I forget where I read this, but the Windows team is certainly aware of virtual desktops and has made a conscious choice not to include them, even as an option. The Sysinternals Suite has a utility for this: Desktops v2.0 [0]. [0] http:&#x2

I watched the talk live. I'll throw this out there just to see if anyone disagrees or has a different perspective. It's basically Scott bashing C++ in his incredibly informed style. He shares some of the parts of C++ that everybod

I also read this earlier in the year. I used Erlang in a few projects at university, but never formally learned much about it beyond what I needed. I invite you you to hop back into the book. I found it to be a fairly quick read for a techn

I found that as well, but it is not what inetsee described in his post. I was interested specifically in "using Racket's macro system to implement a slight variation of Algol 60", which is not what that section or the Racket

There is also SICP Chapter 4: Metalinguistic Abstraction. More precisely, 4.1 The Metacircular Evaluator [0]. Chapter 5 is about compiling to a toy register machine, as well. I'm a big fan of the approach taking in Programming Languag

I have written a few scripts to manage my abundant note taking. In a specific directory, I arrange notes according to subject in directories, and the script parses them and spits out HTML files that displays them in a fashion I find useful.

I only know a little bit about Nimrod. My understanding of it is limited. That being said, I believe a big draw is its metaprogramming abilities. In Nimrod, metaprogramming is done using Nimrod. In C++ you have the very limited, backwards c

I understand the critique being made, but this seems like a slightly outdated view of Haskell. There is quite a bit of software being written in Haskell these days. One project that got some press recently is a long existing project that re

This is a long post, with a wealth of information that will take some time to digest. The comment section also has contribution from well targeted participants, and replies from Timothy Gowers himself, so it's probably best to comment

You're asking more specific questions that what I will cover, and they're good ones. It will be interesting to read how others reply. For the other people looking, Stroustrup's A Tour of C++ [0] is the guide for getting quick

GCC Explorer is awesome, but I would not call it a "C/C++ Fiddle". It's really slow (unusable) at the moment due to, I reckon, being on HN. Do revisit it later! I have had some issues with it in the past when importing j

Learn You a Haskell for Great Good! has already been recommended, which I would have said if it had not yet been. There is also Real World Haskell [0]. It's a lot less long winded than LYaH, which is good or bad depending on how you li

It's hard to say, as it depends on what your previous experience is with similar languages to Rust. Plenty of people are suggesting Rust for Rubyists, which is a good resource. I personally found it too simple, which is not a reflectio
