I'll bite. Ruby has a beautiful and consistent object / module system, a beautiful integration of functional and object oriented programming paradigms, and extreme powerful metaprogramming. All of those things are pretty wrapped

In my experience, a no shaming culture is one where mistakes get fixed instead of hidden, and everyone can learn from them. Fwiw, I work for trading firm, which trades 10+ billion dollars daily and mistakes can be incredibly costly. I woul

The problem here is that Monsanto had defacto pressured Argentine shipping companies into inspecting cargo and demanding documentation from farmers. Monsanto just doesn't have the right to do that, and Argentina is absolutely right to

That sounds fantastic. Very often I find myself editing outside of vim and wishing vim style editing were there. Recreating optional vim key bindings for every app that has text is clearly not realistic. Getting as many things inside of vi

I too, would personally prefer a command line REPL. But sometimes you are interested enough in a thing to try it out, but not interested enough to install things. Coq, in particular, is a pretty brutal installation process if you aren&#x2

Perhaps a bit of a noob question: How would you go about running these virutal machines on OSX? Or should I just be using linux? Edit: The answer, apparently is virtual box ( https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads )

I found it quite moving that the theme of the cover was forgiveness. Fighting extremist hate with more hate has a best case of only shifting which people suffer because it, and a worse case that is truly horrible to contemplate. I know say

You left out poor white people in your discussion. While white people do have a lower rate of poverty than blacks or latinos, they actually make up a very large majority (68.5% as of 2009) of the people living under the poverty line in the

You in particular? No, I cannot answer that question. I don't believe there is a single language which all programmers should be using. In general? It is a strongly typed functional language with excellent type inference that isn&#

I'm not sure the blog post you linked to reached any conclusions. It merely observed that not all of the hundreds of thousands of protestors are all of the same mind and political ideology. It would be pretty shocking if that were no

If you grok the lambda calculus, this is indeed a simple explanation. In my experience, most people who don't know what functional programming is also don't understand what lambda calculus is. In that case, all you've done is substituted

I've met a few very accomplished (maybe not quite as accomplished as Bellard) people who are kind and not at all arrogant about it. I think a lack of arrogance and a generous view of those around you can really help someone to accomplish a

There was recently a link to a register[1] article covering a scientific study[2] where not just the title, but the whole URL got switched to the original study. Now, I'm not disputing that it probably would have been better to link to the

If you need help, ask for it. People tend to respond pretty well to that. But do it quickly, because I'm pretty sure you're going to get hell-banned for this. And for reasons that will be painfully obvious to you once you are sober.

My biggest problem with them is that they often feel like prosecutors building a case. They lay out their arguments and pile on supporting evidence with what feels like the intent of proving things beyond a reasonable doubt. And I'm often

That is largely what Frontline does. They sometimes break original stories, but a lot of what they do is building on other people's reporting and compiling the information in a clear and organized fashion. Then they add interviews for dep

Really? Normally you can enroll for old courses that have completed and view the old material. I've done it before, but you do need a coursera account. Is that not working in this case?
