Wow. Your comment made something click for me: I just realised that I'm losing this ability somehow. I'm in my late twenties, and as a teenager I was very into reading novels, very dreamy and would daydream constantly about things

What kind of foundational software are you referring to? Honest question.

I do understand them, I'm into functional programming and I've toyed with haskell in the past. I'm just aware that such a definition makes it sound more daunting than it really is, mostly because of that "just". It&

I'd argue that the informative value is pretty much zero: If a programmer is familiar with lambda calculus, lazy languages, and algebraic types, then there's just no way that person isn't also somewhat familiar with haskell.

I think his point was more that we're developing the web building over foundations set with the idea of static documents in mind, for far different use cases that were originally intended. It does raise a point over whether we should c

Emotional development and personal growth don't happen automatically with age. Time and effort must be devoted to it - although for most people that is not an issue because the things that allow you to grow are mostly things that we i

This is again anecdotal, but last time I reformatted my mac I tried to install firefox first to see if the bug was still there with no other software or config installed. Literally the only thing I had done before installing was setting up

It's not eleven, not by far. It's enough that I see this bug as the number one reason no one uses firefox at my job, where there are hundreds of devs - anecdotal evidence of course, but still telling. I don't know why you&#x

I do know what he's talking about, as I've had the same exact problem. When I did research about it (about a year ago) it seemed the devs were considering retina macbooks with a non-default resolution as origin of the bug for some

The poor in European capitals don't go around in cars, they use public transportation. Unlike the US, moving around in a car is somewhat of an unneeded luxury, as the city is perfectly livable using subway and buses - and more recently

I wonder how it adjusts for culturally pushed gender differences. Women could have the same opportunities as men but be expected to have different tastes, be subjected to different experiences growing up, etc. which could affect their choic

Yeah, this specific year has been quite underwhelming. The s8, iphone x, etc where great jumps ahead (or at least they seemed to be, due to the different form factor and all). It is understandable that the year after that feels underwhelmin

I haven't kept up with those news. As a torent user (through a different client, I use qbittorrent) is there anything I should be wary of?

I had a similar experience in primary school in Spain (though punishment was never phisical). The incentive is that if the class is made of, say, 30 kids, you are appointed once and then suffer through the appointments of the other 29 kids

If you're coming from backend languages, perhaps you'd find it easier learning node first, then going into the front. This way you won't have to learn both the concepts of front end development and the new language all at onc

Could you be a little more specific about that last part? Do you mean that interesting datasets are available somehow, or that the field itself is accessible?
