Oh god, what a news!)) Consumers are using smartphones and tablets while professional are using macbooks. Samsung is new Nokia, Apple is new Microsoft (even worse). Linux is server and Rails is PHP. What news what news.. btw, the burst of W

How many years could pass, until they will figure out and develop a the same development process that brings Linux kernel and other wonders to us - a collaboration of engineers around the globe? But wait, that means all you need is gcc, ema

It is end of the bubble of common folks excitement with cheap internet and cheap gadgets. Facebook has near exponential growth rates due to many factors, but mostly - a) cheap digital cameras (and then mobile handsets). b) cheap ADSL techno

This is, so to speak, micro-level. There is also macro-level. Exercises produces self-confidence, alters self-image and lifts self-esteem. This results in more realistic self-image (less self-delusion and reality distortion) which, in turn,

This oversimplified, naive generalization-based psychology.) Money is a weak motivator? Wrong! Small money , median income, same as everyone salary - yes, this a weak motivator. I would rather do something to improve my life, rather than

The principle behind Go's design decision is based on actual experience and need to be understood by amateurs. The idea is quite simple: errors are not some rare special cases, they are ordinary, general events . That means there are no ne

Algorithms, data-structures and code quality (ability to quickly understand and change) are three dimensions of the same thing, neither could be neglected. Or to put it another way - algorithms are the plot, representation are your characte

Lots of people have even a habit of identifying such tricks. Others, like me, have an automated tendency to map them to the list of cognitive biases from Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases - the thing that d

These are so primitive and obvious manipulations, that most of target customers already evolved (learned by experience) to ignore them.

What you're expecting from a recruiter who are trying to catch good writers by checking their spelling, punctuation and knowledge (but not the meaning) of long words?) Writer could be measured only by (the value of) his texts. It is not abo

Sure, it is true. It is like not everyone could become a poet or even a fiction writer. There are keyboard with all characters, notepad.exe and a reference of English language - go on, write a novel and become a new Selinger or Pamuk. Almos

there is what I mean: this is idiomatic Lisp: (define (keep pred l) (cond ((null? l) '()) ((pred (car l)) (cons (car l) (keep pred (cdr l)))) (else (keep pred (cdr l))))) this is nonsense: (defn keep

Clojure isn't even a Lisp, it is a bunch of misconceptions with lisp-like syntax.) Attempt to make so-called lisp by breaking code-is-data concept, or trying to use some yaml-like notation instead of s-expression with annotations (to descri

It is almost the same idea as of scientific revolution - to make a paradigm shift one must discover something which is orthogonal, incompatible with a main-stream view, with current scientific consensus. There are lots of readings for stude

It is only me who has a strong feeling that this vector is an ugly construct here - [Node #tree/Tree Empty, #tree/Tree [Leaf 42]] and traditional S-Expression, which just describes an abstract structure - a list, not a particular data-str
