As a colorblind person, this is actually quite useful. It's probably significantly easier to use this than constantly checking using a meat thermometer (and needing to wash the thermometer between checks lest you contaminate cooked mea

Perl 6 might have 'Perl' in the name, but it's essentially a new language. Objecting to having both P5 and P6 on the same computer is like objecting to having both C and C++ compilers on the same computer.

For people coming from dynamic languages, especially Ruby, it's worth looking at Elixir. Elixir runs on the Beam VM (same as Erlang) and is fully Erlang compatible while fixing many of Erlang's warts, including offering a Ruby-ins

You might be interested in Erlang and Elixir, where systems are designed to "simply fail" and then recover rather than trying to catch every possible error condition. These languages are also built upon the idea of using lots* of

When I started using a standing desk it definitely involved an adjustment period. When starting out, something that helped me was to stand for thirty minutes then sit for one hour, alternating. Also, I've found that it's best to s

As a colorblind user who also wears glasses, I found this site very difficult to read. If you want your message to be accessible to all, please consider using larger text, not putting text in images, and using a text color that has signific

Thank you for your advice. In my case it's not "re-learn linear algebra" but "learn linear algebra... after first learning calculus and how to understand/write a proof." :) At 32 I'm not certain if this is

I also had RSI which progressed to the point where I was starting to worry if I'd be able to keep using a keyboard at all. A standing desk had helped for some time, but it was reaching the point where I'd stand for 3/4ths of

As someone who has tried out various MOOCs and entry level resources on machine learning, this is the same conclusion I came to. Beyond any sort of trivial example, I found I lacked the mathematical and statistical knowledge to not only int

This is very good to know, and something that I was not at all aware of -- I started using Clojure and thus Light Table after the Kickstarter had ended. For some reason I just assumed Light Table had raised a huge amount, and for that I apo

I should have made note that the reason why I picked vim over emacs for general coding is that I found the various modifier key combinations required to seriously aggravate my RSI (I was unable to complete the tutorial); on the other hand,

I say this out of concern and not as some kind of quip, but one of the first thoughts that came to my mind after reading this was, "Well, I now know not to give the Light Table guys any money until I see a finished product."

It's worth noting that for programmers with some degree of RSI or a similar injury, a keyboard can potentially be a far less painful interface than a mouse or even touch.

I just got back into using Clojure after a bit of a hiatus (and after having learned vim). I found a very comprehensive book online called "Clojure for the Brave and True," but then saw that chapters 2 and 3 are about using Emacs.

Don't think of Perl 5 and Perl 6 as being like the Python 2 vs Python 3 situation. Perhaps a better comparison would be that of C vs C++: the latter is inspired by the former, but not everyone who uses the former has any interest (or n
