   Commento > Disqus, but both are still hosted services. While I'd rather pay a few bucks a month and have a faster service without advertising, what I want is a commenting service I can self-host. More than that, I'd like to use

   The author name-checked a lot of books but didn't really go into depth. Two that I studied in college, Ong's "Orality and Literacy," and Kuhn's "Structure of Scientific Revolutions" were mentioned by name,

    Books like SICP are touted -- if not by the authors, then by those who got a lot out of them -- as the one true key to knowledge. I think we all gravitate toward that ideal, and we want one book to teach us everything, but reality is often

    I am writing from the perspective of someone who isn't a CS major and is trying to learn programming on my own. I am very interested in the CS aspects of programming but am finding it hard to learn it in an approachable and understanda

    I'm the author of the original blog post, and I wanted to say that SICP, as well as HtDP, and even a book like Robert Sedgewick's Computer Science ( https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Science-Interdisciplinary-Ro... )

    I'm dealing with this same issue. One thing contributing to the hand-in-toilet feeling is that you go and look for tutorials, books, even documentation on Tk and how it works with any given language, and most of what you find is 10 yea

    Roundcube is good enough. The only problem with my cPanel-powered shared hosting is that filtering isn't part of the Roundcube application but is taken care of by another cPanel app(let). I'd rather have it all in Roundcube.
