Perhaps the thing I find most impressive about this it's that it runs quite usably in my phone browser (WP8.1). It's the first one of these I've found that does.

I had not actually heard of freeCodeCamp. That looks pretty cool, and will probably shoot to the top of my list for entry points to JS. Thanks for the mention!

Ignoring the massive concentration of fucked up gender issues in that article, I do find it interesting how sites develop these very clear cultures and how quickly. I recently came into an Ello account, and ultimately found myself put off b

I think I was actually thinking about 10 O'Clock Live. My mistake (and a shameful one, it was one of my favorites).

Anyone else remember when this was a standard feature in a lot of desktop browsers? Or am I crazy.

There's also a strong tradition of this kind of thing in Britain (That Was The Week That Was, Brass Eye, Private Eye, 10 O'Clock News, etc.), and Canada (This Hour Has 22 Minutes is legendary, and has been running since 1993).

Racket is a descendant of Scheme, and shares its roots as a great playground for fundamental functional programming concepts, while also allowing for impure approaches as well, making it a great chance to compare and contrast styles. It&#x2

Both the Chrome and Opera versions did for me, and quite recently too: only switched on Chrome about a month ago at most, and I've only even had Opera installed for about a week.

It would be redundant of me to rehash my thoughts on this, so I'll simply link my reply to this same assertion in the other thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8916129 To summarize: bullshit. Depression and &#

As someone with clinical depression and who is also a writer: this is purest self-fulfilling, self-indulgent bullshit, and exactly the kind that kept me bound to my own illness for over a decade. Depression does fuck all either way for crea

As a 'creative' of many years (not all of them public), I have folders and folders of dead ideas I never used, many of which I agonized over for weeks and even months to no actual productive end. Kurt Vonnegut famously said that t

They've moved away then, since I last used it, earlier versions were pretty compatible. QB64's aims are good, but it's still incomplete itself, and I had stability issues with it (and to be honest, wasn't particularly ke

There's also FreeBASIC, which is largely compatible but with some shiny new features on top (even macros and tail-call optimization O_O).

Also, it's worth pointing out that the use of the ports collection is optional in modern BSD, as you can install anything that's in ports directly as a package instead using pkg.

I genuinely believe that the best thing anyone ever did for encouraging programming was putting a BASIC interpreter in every home computer.

Something I've come to understand as an expat is why so many expats and immigrants wind up starting their own businesses rather than seeking local employment; it's not necessarily fun to work through bureaucracy with a language ba

I stayed away from pursuing programming as a vocation for almost 15 years. I intuitively knew as a child that there were parts of programming and using computers which "weren't work" for me, but also very much ones that were,
