I'm a unversity student in Europe, and most things we learn make exactly zero sense. I stopped assuming rationality when it comes to CS education a long time ago. Yesterday we had to implement adding two numbers over SOAP. With that said, U

To be fair, gVim adds relatively the same features, file/save, etc.

First-year CS students don't read what's printed on the screen? Good lord how can we expect the average user to do the same?

Why was this downvoted? Adding 1 to any number field is just as an atomic operation as incrementation is in Redis.

Note that recent versions of Postgres can now COUNT against indices so no need to do a full table scan.

I find this especially true in the case of Haskell. When I tried to read "Real World Haskell" my brain melted halfway through.

That's interesting, I always thought of STL as a well-designed piece of library. Or is it just not specialised enough to fit your case?

There is no resource on that endpoint so nothing was really found. It is merely arbitrary that applications redirect you to a preconfigured URL to show that error.

Sounds fun and boy would I look silly doing that in the street. I'll call it walk fu. Thanks for the great idea.

There are times when you certainly need to put the dishes down and think something through and solve it, but often we should just finish what we started one by one.

What does this add to pandoc? In other words, why would I pay for this service? It obviously runs in the cloud, but I haven't found much else. In fact, my observation is that the API documentation was merely copy-pasted from the original. E

This is true, hence my use of "almost". On the other hand, there is a lot magic to eating pizzas and sipping diet cokes in the house by the lake only to play and make games. I just no longer see myself being able to be blessed by that privi

I don't remember if this was my own or I read it somewhere else, but I sometimes say "The best software is no software".

One of my favorite books. Almost makes me wish I was born at a different time and place. Even the Super Mario Warner Bros 4 rewrite Carmack made is two days older than me.

This is supposed to look like a reference documentation as opposed to a collection of specific questions and answers.

I believe he referred to the rule to use a single return statement at the end of any single function definition.

How much coffee did you drink 4 years ago to have all that problems? Especially migranes make me suspicious you're oversensitive to caffeine.

I learnt that `Ctrl-W` removes a whole word backwards in vim and the terminals. The only downside is being confused when

That's a very weak counterargument. Why would Microsoft prefer to carry on developing both interfaces when the majority of users will clearly prefer Metro?

So if one comes off as stupid either way on the video, why not just write it down?

Well, you want to embed the image from a source identified by URL, not refer to it. In fact, I wonder why we need to use href when invoking stylesheets.

That'd kind of defeat the whole point of linking a binary. Were you using cabal to build executables? What shared libs were missing on remote machines?

How do you actually go about building your dream laptop? The parts needed just doesn't seem to mix-and-match like what we used to in desktop PCs.

Think of Delicious or Flickr. "Having ruined them" might be exaggeration, but still not far from the truth either.

I had to stop because my hand began to hurt. You have my deepest gratitude for reminding me what discovery and exploration feels like.

Not that GP didn't provide explanation for this. Personally I'd never hire anyone who has 10+ years experience with one technology and none with others.

Seems like you're building a semantic search engine. Have a look at some of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_online_databases

Since when did WebKit+Firefox become cross-browser? It's kind of ignorant to dismiss IE and claim cross-platform, but it shows arrogance to act as if only 3 browsers exist in the world. I don't actually care that the experiment is an ugly

Could this be worked around with some added random-length non-redundant data so that the 3rd party can draw no conclusions from the varying responses? Of course this works as long as the additional deceit doesn't defeat the advantages of co
