Also a lot of the positive changes were do to the efforts of Nikita Popov[1] who has now left. It's led to the creation of the PHP foundation.[2] I haven't kept up to date with the foundation's efforts. [1]: https:/&#x2F

By multiline strings are you referring to text blocks? Those have been added to the language in Java 15: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/15/text-blocks/index.... .

Actually, having gone through multiple programming books, I disagree with that. I highly recommend HTDP because of their design recipes. The book shows you an approach to solving problems with programs rather than just the syntax of a langu

I'm just a hobby programmer, but I've been looking to learn discrete math so I can get in to algorithms. Is this a good book? I've seen a lot of people recommend Epp's Discrete Mathematics with Applications . I've

At least one aspect that seems to fit the definition of deliberate practice that you defined is programming challenges. It's about a specific part of programming, namely algorithms, you are constantly pushing yourself based on the diff

Sorry, I know I asked you this below. I'm just a new programmer trying to learn, how is that GUI development in Electron is faster?

by pooya72 8y ago
How and why was it faster? Did it have to do with the tooling?

That's a good comparison, and I think I should qualify my statement. It's the fastest way to develop cross-platform apps when you already know web development. I've only done some trivial apps with QT and Python, and it was p

I know some people think Electron is cancer[1], but it is the fastest way to write cross-platform applications. I've been trying to learn to make apps for macOS, and it feels like even Apple doesn't want me write apps for the Mac.

This is a nice series, but the background music is too loud.

Yes, I was wondering the same thing.

Yeah, there's a good book on this very issue called "Weapons of Math Destruction."[1] The author did an interview on a podcast and discusses how algorithms used by these judges reflect our racial biases.[2] One example that I

This is an issue that Roger Kopel has been tackling for years now. His main research has been in the social epistemology of forensic science. He has argued that there is a bias towards conviction. In 2008, he published an article arguing th

This is cool. I'm really excited about Rust, but as a programming hobbyist(noob) I haven't been able to get very far with it. The language is starting to become more googleable now, even though the name "rust" is a hinde

Sorry, just saw your reply. Well, the studies show that people well feel good about rewards when they are unexpected. But once it becomes part of a standard routine it turns out to lower intrinsic motivation.

Yeah, I went through the Coursera course. Honestly, it was amazing. I had read through several programming books, but this was systematic. The "design recipes" help you to write clean, testable functions, and to think about your d

I know this is well intentioned, but it might have the opposite effect. There has been a lot of study done on rewards and motivation. It turns out that giving external rewards can undermine motivation. For example, giving stars to children

I think Udacity.com has a great list of sources about programming from beginning to advanced. Most of their classes are in Python, but the concepts are applicable to any language. More importantly, they try to teach fundamental concepts tha
