This was the one that really stood out to me. MOOCs, bootcamps etc are wildly popular now and vary massively in quality. It's very easy for candidates to look good on paper but not actually know the technical side as well as they shoul

The canonical source for learning Scala from scratch (at least, when I was learning a couple of years ago) is the Coursera course by Martin Odersky, one of the language's founders. It appears that the course has grown somewhat, but you

I think you underestimate how much having something tactile, with buttons and LEDs, can really shift how younger students perceive learning. I volunteer teach a group of 8/9 year olds an intro to programming class and the difference be

I think that's just the nature of the query. Every single one of the first page of organic results for me is exactly the same: http://imgur.com/cypF0He

Nothing groundbreaking, but good analysis rarely is. I'd be interested to see the relationship between comment karma and age of post though - do earlier comments always get more attention?

The "What am I looking at?" section ( http://www.chromoscope.net/1.4.1/what.html ) says that they are: "Don't worry, they aren't holes in the Universe being ripped open by creatures from another

This is the big next step that a lot of people were expecting - where in-depth studies into all of the competitors occurs and it's gradually revealed that this defeat device game has been played by almost everyone in the industry. It&#

Good on you for listing your gripes with them. Too often I see people complaining about PayPal in general but I've managed to miss actual reasons before now.

Isn't it a bit silly to throw away every single @<user> tweet? Imagine I'm having a twitter conversation with my friends about who can make the best pangram and this data is ignored just because we're tweeting @ each ot

I'm not sure if that's true. Their line about refunding unused data says "you’ll get your unused data credited in dollars and cents" which implies that it may be as fine grained as by the 1MB pricing (if they are actuall

Why does wikipedia link them with Palantir (and vice versa)? Is it just because they seem to be providing similar products or is there more to it?

I like his idea of having an alias to commit to when he wants to save off work. If you combine that with a checkout (co) alias which saves the current branch and checks the latest commit message of the destination branch and 'reset HEA
