The recent pop-up ads, automatically downloading of Windows 10 by Microsoft and bricking devices by Microsoft's friends seems like a good indication of the tipping point for many people. Stallman was right, then? About 10 years ago I m

My nickname suggests that I am a 4chinner (which is true), but the question above was legitimate and was with the best intention. The moment that Hillary went nuclear with the stupid, harmless frog was the moment that I questioned the thing

The other day a person asked on HN - he stated he taught himself to program, but feel insecure because he feel he can never be a legitimate programmer, he even doesn't know how to deal with pointers. I find myself the same way before I

It seems like the things that are more painful to learn and use make your brain work harder, and thus make you learn better. Or, maybe it is the case that people who know to use the hard stuff are interested in the subject enough to learn h

Find a niche on eBay and sell it. Old stuff like cards, vinyls, retro hardware hauls that you can get on CL and resell it for a nice profit. News stuff like electronics boards, good headphones, mechanical keyboards, etc,... you could import

>So in short, I'd like to ask, what one thing let you grow/learn the most as a developer? Writing (33%) and connecting with people (33%) is as important as coding (33%) - being able to program alone solves 95% of the 33% coding

Side note, the instructor of that course, Chip Huyen, is nothing short of brilliant. Born in Vietnam, at 18 she decided not to go to college, and went traveling with an empty pocket around the world and wrote books. I heard about her gettin

I learned Intro to CS in Ada back in 2009 or something. Loved it. I don't think it matters what language and making the language a big deal is like making the OS choice a big deal. It never mattered and it shouldn't matter.

I know this is a joke, but at the same time, it illustrated how influential the GNU project is. All thanks to RMS :). I don't care how unreasonable this man is, he is a great man.

I don't even know Python, but after looking at it for a couple of minutes, I had a sense: 1. mutating the `methods` parameter directly, I don't even care if it works, is a bad idea 2. naming the thing methods and method might trip

I largely agree with you, and I don't even think that many people would have a problem with what you propose. But who gets to decide whether a civil union couple can file tax jointly or not?

First, saying art is cheap because billions pieces of art on Deviant Art are free is like saying code is cheap because billions of lines of code published every day on GitHub are free. Average you pay for code is zero, by that logic? Second

Wait until you see art... There is no regulation, it comes with probably no return policy. It requires one person to do -- art doesn't need capital to start at all. Yet art is insanely expensive. Do you rather be a programmer, an engi
