I was visiting this comment thread with the intention to post that link if nobody else had already. For all the hate reddit gets, I love it for content such as the discussion contained in the above. Reddit has major issues due to its user b

That image has been present on the lower right corner of the openbsd homepage for a long time. Given the name of the image, I imagine it's been present since at least since 2009, but my (fuzzy) memory wants me to believe there has been

I'm normally a bit worried when a thread quickly fills up with praise, but this looks very nice. It's something I have thought about, as I'm sure many people who have done any amount of scraping have, but never went forward a

From the issue tracker: > In UI review we decided that these scrollbars are OK for an M32 release, and that if there's bad user uproar we can live with it for one milestone then change in M33. I wonder how pervasive this view is wit

Sounds neat, but doesn't sound like pair programming to me. Sounds like you designed a solution together and then went and coded it separately? Or did you each code up the solution in front of each other? If so, a fairly interesting th

A lot of good links to similar sites in this comment thread. I enjoy Project Euler, but as with many people slowly got annoyed by lack of specific mathematical knowledge as opposed to programming. One thing I believe would really help with

Is there anything new here? DNSCrypt as a preview has been available for a good while now. Clicking through to their GitHub, I see that dnscrypt-proxy was last updated 4 days ago, and then the two clients: dnscrypt-osx-client 11 days ago ye

The linked course pages contains a good synopsis, but Robert Harper's own blog post "What’s the big deal with HoTT?" [0] gives a wider view about its motivation and history. Another two pages with worthwhile information on th

Thanks for pointing that out! It's much easier to pause for jotting down notes, rewind to watch portions of the lecture again, and even speed up portions (between 1.5x and 2.2x is my sweet spot, depending on the presenter) using VLC. A

Nice to see some hands being waved about the matter. I've long been confused why large open source projects aren't, by default, providing a virtual system that is capable of building the project with close to no configuration. The

Of course, in later chapters SICP covers both streams [0] and lazy evaluation in the interpreter [1]. It's a really great book! I'm completely jealous of anyone who was introduced to CS via a serious studying of SICP. [0] https:&

I wondered this also. From interacting with people on careercup.com (which is absolutely flooded with people from India) it seems like they are pushed through a lot of written tests, both for programming and for general aptitude. Definitely

Ah, yes... my pile of bought and unread books. Still much less scary than my reading list, which threatens to collapse into a black hole if I continue adding to it. That being said, and more related to the source post, it looks doable. SICP

A friend told me they did this recently, and I argued to her that it was a bad idea. It's going to sit around for however long with all the baddies in it multiplying, and then you're going to smear it all over your hands to "

Thanks for the links. I saw that post on /r/programming earlier today, but hadn't investigated it yet. It'll be interesting to see some real ideas come out.

It's not a completely horrible post. It puts in one place some speculation that I have only seen in various outlets so far. I get the feeling that her citing "several different sources of mine" is just random posts by people

It's actually nice to see activity on the LtU front page. The two other posts I would assign to the same category as the submitted one would be xkcd: Functional [0] and The Three Laws of Programming Language Design [1] posts. They both

Perhaps not in the same area, but I would nominate Anand Shimpi from anandtech.com. He writes in depth review of Apple hardware (currently writing a Mac Pro review), and offers fairly deep insight into both the hardware and what the produc

I'm going to ramble a little below, so I'll get to the point up front: is there even a new language here? I don't mean in the sense that Rust seems to attempt what is being hand waved about in the submission, but that the lin

This isn't the first time something like this has happened. See this post [0], to which the person from the picture responds [1]. Reddit does seem to have a problem with people who want to make fun of others posting, and unfortunately

What's not the point? I think you seriously underestimate the quality of participants on reddit. As an example, across just two subreddits I can bump up against Andrei Alexandrescu, Martin Odersky, Walter Bright, the STL maintainer at

I'm only guessing here based on what you said and what little knowledge I have, but you're talking about SaskTel in Saskatchewan, right? Others who find it interesting might want to look into them. From what I have heard about Sas

Would love to review your book. Where are you looking for reviews to be submitted? I'm outside the US, so it would only need to be an ebook. Just about to talk the dog out for a walk, but will check in as soon as I return. Thanks for t

This is really nicely done. I always get a smile on my face when these command line emulations implement clear, as I am a junkie for keeping my command sessions clean looking. I am only ever slightly bummed when the corresponding CTRL+L doe
