Third, although indirectly. I'm nearly 40. My grandfather was a chemist and used computers from the really early days. My mother studied physics but hates computers, but my stepfather is a mathematician who also used computers since the pun

I have used the HD-25s since my DJing days, they're fantastic IMO.

I love the idea of Rust, but... Shorten 'mutable' to 'mut' Seriously? Are we editing with TextEdit in this day and age?

What you're describing is CPS, but that's not how continuations would typically be used in a webapp, it's actually a compiler technique (I've always thought it was crazy that node.js forces you to do by hand something that should be done by

Scala is actually less complex than Java by far. I'm sorry, but I can't let this one go by. I can accept the argument that FP may be less complex once you get used to it (not sure I agree but let's go with it) and immutability by default

This appears to use JDIC, which is cross-platform - anyone know if this runs on other systems?

That's kind of a pathological case you have there - I don't think many people would argue that loop indices should have long variable names. None of the examples in your post above were loop variables, and what I see a lot of in lisp code i

f or x will do. If your function grows, rename the variable. Why would you just not give it a reasonable name to begin with? Why not call your variable frobber ? The only possible reason for not doing so is that you're using an editor th

This is great advice, thank you. Despite both of my parents and one of my siblings having had brushes with cancer (thankfully that resulted in nothing), this is all too easy to ignore.

I wonder if a filter that excluded things that I've trained it that I don't like would be more effective?

Particularly for the more recent exploit, the word "hack" seems a little generous.

Kotlin compiles to bytecode - it's no more a meta language than Java itself by that definition.

Could this be used to generate typing lessons for programmers? One of the things lacking from many typing tools is practice typing symbols as used by programmers - I guess random code would be difficult to generate though and you'd need to
