That was why I linked to this article rather than the NYT. The article linked to, while shorter, contains all of the relevant information and less completely random cluelessness.

As an immediate counter example understandable even by someone who hasn't learnt another language, consider puns. They have plenty of meaning but will only be translatable to closely related languages. at best.

I've been using VsVim for a while now and loving it, but been frustrated by the lack of recordable macros. But sometime in the last two releases, Jared has added them to make me a happy man.

Fantastic books, all of them (although Inlaws and Outlaws might bemuse anyone who's not English). Well worth picking them up if you get a chance, even 30+ years on.

"...mistakes I _make_ all..." would be a more 'native' wording. (That isn't a dig, by the way, just given as a piece of information.) My wife is Italian, and it's amazing how many constructs you come across that are correct, but sound odd.

Or share it only with yourself on Facebook. Had they let me edit the tweet to something more reasonable without BIG CAPS (FREE!) letters I would have happily shared it with my friends and colleges. As it was, it wasn't the type of spam ad I

Ha! Given the context I just assumed a false positive. It's not like it doesn't throw enough of those. No worries, I'll just read it from my home machine at some point. Most stuff at work is .net anyway, but I've used a little Python at tim

Hate to disagree with such a distinguished source, but having done it: Very realistic. Looking at the compiled CoffeeScript taught me more Javascript than all of the tutorials put together, and CoffeeScript itself was a joy to learn. I thin

Yes, but many of us aren't 'Javascript engineers', we're more general developers. Learning CS and JS together has vasty improved my JS skills because every time I've gone 'why the heck did CS compile to that?' it's been because of some obsc
