I've learned several languages in my life, I'm trilingual now, and I've succeeded on some and failed miserably on others. Here's my experience and advice. First, I guess you could say I learned Spanish, but really I was

Awesome. I'd just like to thank the whole Debian team myself - I'm not affiliated so its not a pat on my own back :). I've been running Debian for years now on my servers, on my own personal computers and its a great system,

Personally, I think people dislike Go because they try using it for tasks where it makes their life miserable. Mainly for web programming. (unless of course you're a masochist and enjoy not having a repl and want static typing and a co

Linode has a great guide for locking down your server, if you don't do anything else at a bare minimum do this ( https://www.linode.com/docs/security/securing-your-server ). I can remember many many moons ago I

This is good, DHH basically is talking about making rails (in the future version 5ish) more flexible for all those people building just backend rails apis that are consumed by seperate client frontends, mentions integrating websockets too.

IMHO this is nice code, nothing against the devs, but I just don't see why its getting added. As someone who has built lots of rails apis, I don't really see any benefit other than perhaps speeding up bootstrapping. But as is, rig

I absolutely love this! Great job. For anyone looking to figure out how to build android apps and looking for source examples this is awesome. And the interface is much more accessible than f-droid. My only suggestions would be to make the

I would also add to your comments that it really depends on the startup idea I think. If its not anything that really needs to be realtime, or has minimum interactivity on the frontend and web is the only platform that matters, or if its an

thank you, just finished reading the FAQ - also discovered how a poll is made in the process - I always thought that was just a karma level thing :)

Some of you're statements about his political views appear to be false: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rand_Paul#Political_positions ) Its always nice to have a link when you make such claims :)

this is a good article, I remember it from a while back. Does anyone know what the rule is on duplicates? How do some come through? I always just get redirected to a reference for the old posting.

I would say three things are really important in the following order: 1. Sleep. 2. Diet. 3. Acitivity. Sleep: If there's one thing that you can change to make you feel a lot better its going to be this. Always get whatever your body ne

agree. la REA does a really good job. English is a nightmare mixture of terms that were molded together from everything from old germanic, latin, to french, to norsk, with zero control over anything and there is an entire subject area terme

well, if you want to get into the older stuff like shakespeare I would suggest just diving in. At first, just lookup the words you dont know and after maybe one play you should have already learned enough to understand his style and languag

No there's rhyming all over the place in this one, just not always on the end of the line. But first and second stanzas, in the 4th just take for example: "Pasan huyendo los pájaros. El viento. El viento" huyendo rhymes with

I'd also add that rubys confusion about what a function is is the thing that's been annoying me the most lately. You have procs, lambdas, blocks, and all with subtle differences ( http://awaxman11.github.io/blog&#x2

This is awesome! If there's one area that still needs a lot of work in the js world I think its exception messages. Its hard to believe its 2015 and its still so hard get clean stack traces for your minified js in production since you

I see your experience and I'm going to be honest with you about a couple things, because I went the same route in many ways, I'm completely self-taught on everything, worked as a web developer through school to help pay my non-CS

Maybe its just me but the only things that I really like from this document are "Unicode", and "Tail Call", though some other things may be nice, the verbosity is killing me, how many new keywords, synatic constructs, an

great! I love the fact that "try it" takes center stage. Though there was a lot more information on the old site, I feel the new one does good job of breaking it up into more meaningfully grouped segments. The sponsors section i

Isn't that why io.js exists, because of the critisim? Its a fork and now the io.js community can do things the way they want, I don't see why people still need to continue criticising node.

by jfaucett 12y ago
Why all the negativity for Node? Seriously, lots of good developers have spent their time developing this project and all these comments are just about how io.js is so great or node failed at x. As far as I can see this looks like good news

This example though perhaps not the best actually makes it pretty obvious that if you have immutable objects and variables that cannot change their type you already know that y will always be 1, since it is impossible for DoSomething to cha
