   I think what finally sold me was the bangs. For example I can search "Array !mdn" and get right to the MDN docs and not worry about w3schools stuff.

   Every RuboCop rule is reasonable. That is, you can look up the reason and see if you agree or not. Our team has overridden about a dozen rules (we bumped up line length and class length), but I find most of the default rules are fine. Out o

   I had an awesome high school chemistry experience as well. Chemistry is such a "hands on" science with fire, color changes, explosions, weird reactions, etc. I'm always surprised when people think it is boring.

   I've found Elementary to be much snappier and use less system resources than Ubuntu. Their native apps are written in Vala, which seem pretty good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vala_(programming_language)

    Did you try any mods? You can make minecraft into all variations of games. I currently have a persistent server I run for my kids. My son loves to explore and fight things, my daughter likes to build things, and I like to make machines with

    To be fair, Java (1995), Python (1990), and Ruby (1995) were all created before Google (1998). In a time of search engines I think that more care should be taken for naming things. Clojure is an excellent example of Rich Hickey taking the t

    I work in Utah and know many smart and skilled people who have worked at Overstock. They all have Patrick Byrne and Stormy Simon stories; some of the most unbelievable things I have ever heard. The entire place sounds like it was straight o

    I would recommend reading "The Circadian Code" by Dr. Satchin Panda and judging for yourself. My takeaway was that it is more than fasting, it is about getting your body's cycles to sync up (sleep cycle, digestive cycle, repa

    When I read the phrase "no pun intended" in an online article, I always wonder why, if they don't intend the pun, they don't just rephrase it?

    I am unconvinced. I am less worried about keeping up with the latest bleeding-edge web stuff. I am more concerned about privacy, ad tracking, etc. I know that Google's goals are different than mine, so I don't want 100% Chrome.
