   I'm using it for c development for the GT OMSCS Advanced Operating Systems course, and it was a life saver. I tried Eclipse, Sublime Text and plain old VIM. NetBeans got to stay. Why? it doesn't crash, it's lightweight, it wo

   Any chance a non physicist / scientist can understand in a nutshell what it means? (5σ at .2) it has been a long time since college. Is that a statistical notation? or something specific to physics? Googling it (or even using symbolhou

   I hope you recover quickly and that everything will be fine! My condolences on the loss of your father. I'm always paranoid, this is why I used to avoid being checked :)

   I'm praying for you, but besides praying, your post has triggered the following: 1) cried a little, I'm your age, with kids, wife had Thyroid cancer, close to home 2) donated to your fund, hope many more will 3) read about Melanom

   Had this idea for years, couldn't think of a way to make money out of it, and also the fear of drug trafficking, the need to clear customs, the need for an import export license etc. The idea is nice, I'm an expat so I always ask

   I would say, it depends, for me the answer was "I really hope yes". I just started the MS CS in Georgia Tech (100% online, 7,000$ total cost, not per year, ranked 9 in US) I didn't study Hebrew literature academically (altho

   I'm still failing to understand what solution is there out there that handles web application deployments (especially JVM ones) in an idempotent way. Including pushing the WAR file, upgrading the database across multiple nodes etc. Pe

   I'm 36+ so I consider myself old. I am a tech lead in a "startup that gone enterprise" and write Java, Scala, and web. Most of my friends are between 35-45, all fully employed with good salaries (mostly Java / Enterprise

    I can tell you that sadly accent can have more weight than we all wish it would have. It's a double issue, even if you are interviewing with the most liberal and ethical person who loves you and think you're a great fit but had pr

    All I can hope is that more universities follow what GA Tech started. I'm doing an MSc in CS for less than 7,000$. This is the total cost, not per year. They did get 2 million $ from AT&T and close partnership with Udacity in the m

    What about academic operating system research that was done years ago? Exokernel, SPIN, all aim to solve the "os is the problem" issue. Why don't we see more in that direction?

    We have a developer from Africa (Cameroon), and another one who just left (from Nigeria), both are/were great and came as students initially (student visa then H1B). If someone can code I don't care where they came from. Your ma

    My personal choice for "statically typed Ruby" is actually Scala or Kotlin. Scala has its drawbacks, especially the compile time, (which is getting better) but both have similar expressiveness when it comes to mind blowing library

    I have to find that HN thread. When some post on Warby Parker was here in the homepage, someone commented that the next "too big margin" industry to disrupt should be the mattress one. Nice going! One question - did you guys come

    Has anyone tried using Kotlin for Android development? (it's supposed to be lower runtime footprint than Scala, and it is officially supported by Jetbrains [1]) [1] http://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2013/08&#x2

    To anyone deciding between Scala and Clojure: If you want a simple and concise syntax, hate long compile times, don't mind polish notation, want purer functional programming, don't need an IDE, and prefer dynamic typing, Clojure m

    Looks great, wish it worked, pressed run and got this: "It looks like you have an error. Look for the red exclamation mark next to your code and fix the error." Looked for the red exclamation mark, didn't find one.

    Well we do share the C# background, but I lastly used C# about 8 years ago, a lot has changed. As much as I would love to have a Ruby background, Ruby (mostly on Rails) for me is a hobby language / framework, can't use it at work,

    Will give Kotlin another look, I sure love the IDEA ;) Regarding Java 8, before knowing Scala well, I thought this will kill Scala for good. But I got spoiled by Scala's FP / OO mishmash, I got used to my duck typing, pimp my libr

    So let me get it straight, someone, aware of their bounty program or not, found their closed SOURCE CODE, and is getting a T-Shirt? How much do you value your own source code? at least 10,000$ right? ;) (probably much, much more) who cares

    Perhaps it didn't come from developer's needs, but it sure feels like it for me. What alternatives on the JVM you suggest? I will give it a try, I'm not married to Scala, and I don't get money from TypeSafe to promote i
