   1) If you are always tired and a little overweight (or more), get checked for sleep apnea issues at a sleep study center. If you have it, it is sapping your energy. 2) If you are like me and don't like exercise much (nor the time inves

   I'm 41. I'm a "hotshot web dev" (backend). Trust me, if you simply try to stay healthy/take care of yourself, there's PLENTY of runway left to start new things.

   My parents still have our old Mac Plus. And it still works. It is a gorgeous relic. I can't believe you just left it at a dumpster. Do you realize how much that thing costed, new?

   My (expensive) IIci of 1992 or so ran Prince of Persia (and other games like Spectre VR) in full color (256 color) at high resolution (640x480, high at the time), which the PC was nowhere near having yet. Not to mention full digitized sound

   You seem very (and rather irrationally) upset, so instead of responding I will just give you a (completely ulterior-motive-free) e-hug from an anglo saxon male who has so far been nearly universally told he is the "nicest guy ever&quot

    I have mixed feelings about the fact that right off the bat it sledgehammers home the fact that programming is for everyone and not just white anglo saxon males.

    This answer makes the most sense. And if you're a corporate developer these days, $99 is really not very much money at all.

    How in the hell does "accidentally" accessing the first element of an array (by "accidentally" passing 0 to an array in a language that has 0-based indexing) result in "privilege escalation errors"? That's

    Null is NOT the same as "zero" Ruby has "nil", and 0. They are not the same, and should not be considered the same. Would you say that accessing coordinate 0,0 is a "logically invalid operation"? What is an arr

    Some versions of BASIC going way back into the 80's (I very dimly remember Microsoft BASIC for Macintosh having it) have an OPTION BASE keyword allowing you to actually specify which array base to use (0 or 1). Although I kind of like

    Please cite an example where this is superior to a 0-based-index example. Just saying "it's a good thing" won't fucking fly around here.

    That light is negligible. I have used F.lux for years, I swear by it, and if I bring an iPad or iPhone to bed and stare at it a while before I sleep (note: don't do this), I can totally notice the difference. (Then again I have a diagn

    Given that you will have to figure out scaling issues eventually anyway, the speed of compiled languages should NOT be weighed heavier than programming ease in your decisionmaking. Programmer time is FAR more expensive than hardware these d
