I feel like the whole impostor syndrome thing has gone too far. At this point, we have legitimately talented developers questioning whether or not they are 'good' enough and it is actually quite frustrating to see. I sort of under

Do you have a source on "In an age where nation states are fighting for control and MITM attacks are more prevalent than one would think" ? I am curious what those numbers actually look like. I've always wondered about what k

Is this actually affiliated with the facility that is behind Scala for JVM? I saw the banner of the university on the Scala Native site, is that for real? I have been so extraordinarily impressed with Scala, and with the contributions its m

But why should I use Github over Gitlab? I don't care about popularity, Gitlab already offers the minimal set of features I care about, and has demonstrated a neutral business model. Github had leaks coming out about how 'white me

You might be interested in the Crystal language. It's a statically-typed, Object-oriented, Ruby inspired language. It's Ruby with types, basically. You might also be interested in Elixir which ties in to the Erlang ecosystem, but

Really can't stress it enough that you need to lawyer up before literally anything else. Do not talk to them, do not go into work, take sick days if you have to, don't respond to emails, phone calls, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING until you h

I did not realize that we were this close to Swift 3?! This is really awesome news. I'm pretty excited to see what they do in 3.0, I'd love to have another language under my belt without fooling around with NS-nonsense. That they

Ah, good idea. Thanks so much!

I know a little about a lot of things, but I know least of all about web development. I worked my way through some Sinatra tutorials and through the Cuba.rb book, but I just never got into it. Are there any books that you'd recommend o

I know a few other languages, they just aren't nearly as marketable as Ruby. I've learned Lua, Scheme, I know a little bit of Julia but most of the stdlib is over my head mathematically. I've fallen in love with Ruby because

40 points and no comments... Can we please discuss this? I would like to know if this makes Rails worth learning for someone who knows Ruby but doesn't know rails. I have found my ruby knowledge to be less than marketable, and I want t

Now you can left-pad your entire environment instead of just your production build! Wow!

JS has a syntactic sugar keyword class. Objects are still prototypes.

I didn't even think about that, but yeah he totally did. This whole article has a very "Wow, all other languages except for the one I've invested time in really suck!" feel to it. The arguments presented are shallow at b

I love the piegonhole arguments that always 'exclude' Dart from these types of discussions. Class-based vs prototype-based, classes will always win. JS is terrible, TypeScript is only very slightly better. Dart's core team is

I try and learn things bottom-up. I don't know if that's a good way or not, but that's how I've always done it. It has seemed pretty natural to me to sort of explode things into pieces and pick it up small bits at a time

I thought it was supposed to challenge Reddit? I'm not sure.

I'm not defending intentional toxicity in particular. Personally, I think it's as valid a form as expression as any other, if less productive. I'm talking about things that people don't want to hear, but are relevant.

I guess it's just how I look at things. When I'm debating an issue with someone or at a conference or whatever, when someone says something totally incongruous, it always surprises me and I always feel like I've missed someth

Should people be striving to remove friction in discourse in the first place? I mean, if something hurts to hear, surely that should sound the alarm that it's worth confronting, rather than running away from, right? Reddit already mode

Yeah but if you are dying of a disease, surely it's wise to do SOMETHING , right? I mean, what's the solution to these types of problem where the adversary keeps getting better and better? I feel like Forever War touched on this

Hmm, that was a shortcoming I did not foresee.

Wow, that really is fascinating. I wonder what else people would be more willing to do by pushing a button rather than doing it themselves. I mean, it's not surprising that gov higher-ups would incinerate human beings with a button,

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Has a very "Scientists report water to be wet" feel to the whole thing. It's almost like they think that 9/11 is just a part of life now, and the only thing that matters is the paper

Well, Clayton has grown quite a bit too. I'm in NYC now, but I visited some family there a few months ago, and the place has changed quite a bit. Lots of new developments and such.

Hey, I'm from North Carolina too, from Clayton! That's really awesome to hear that you were able to meet him. I always hear stories about people like that, who leave that 'approachable' impression on people they meet, I&

This should constitute a black bar for today. Campbell was responsible for shaping some of the greatest minds the tech industry has ever known. I mean, the amount of money that the people who learned from Campbell control can be measure in

Saclability is what I look for in these frameworks. Spray seems like a better option than this. If you want first-class async capability on the JVM, that's what Akka is for anyways, might as well just use it. This seems a bit clunkier,
