Because it's there. Whatever is there, people will push it to do things it wasn't designed for. Any they'll push so hard it will actually work.

Could that be fixed by having certain keys from the middle of a standard keyboard appear on the inner side of both haves of a split one? Or actually... Could we just use two keyboards?

There is infinite arm-chair teaching going on regarding coding/programming/computer science right now. If anyone is tempted to do more, fine. But please, please, read up on what people actually doing it have discovered. Reality

It's funny, when I was learning Git, it was the first source control system I'd ever used, but most of the tutorials were for people switching. So all the (justified) emphasis to forget all I know about VCSs was just baffling for

I ask purely out of curiosity, not because I think the answer should affect my, or anyone else's, actions.

I use Git because everyone else does. And I'm not ashamed of that; I think it's pragmatic. However, I think I would prefer if the crowd had converged on Mercurial instead.

Why do people care about screen readers? Is it because they are good people and want to make sure sight-impaired visitors are able to access their content? Or is it because they have contracts that require 508 compliance?

I may be using words incorrectly, and I'm not positive you can even make the distinction, and I am happy to stand corrected, but it always seemed to me that CSS was fine for style , but terrible for layout . So I think I'm agree

Yes yes yes. I find that I often have to work backward from a tortured spec to figure out what they are actually trying to get done, so that I can then work out a solution and eventually implementation. And clients have never complained whe

I hear you, and I think you make a very good point. But from my own experience failing to do so, I can say that teaching high school well is spectacularly difficult. And if you are not good at the underlying classroom management and people

If we were able to buy at their local price, we would have effectively merged two formerly separate markets. And the now one market price would likely be much higher. To my layman's knowledge, it would be analogous to building a cana

Take as given that under condition X all people can exhibit Y behavior. It does not necessarily follow that a particular person can exhibit Y behavior only under condition X.

I agree with you 100%. As a former teacher and now professional programmer and volunteer tutor, I have some advice for anyone interested in getting involved: Just show up. Go to the front desk of the nearest high school and explain you are

And also, if new people join your team, they've probably at least heard of it. There is benefit to being in the middle of the pack.

I think you'd have to put lights everywhere the camera might look. With lights on the user and a fixed camera, you just have to make sure the user doesn't move out of frame.

This Rift deeply excites me. But I wonder what time-scale we need to consider for this to be an intermediate step? That is, we're putting an interface on an interface here. Picture on eyeball. How long until we can mainline this stuff?

The server can have state, but there should be no communication about the client state. This is most tricky regarding logged-in/out session state usually communicated with cookies. http://ruben.verborgh.org/blog/20

Yeah. I've found a weird dichotomy in the general push to use "REST" for web APIs, but then certain aspects (true statelessness, for instance) are met with blank stares.

I agree. Reversible is better, but not better enough to be worth being different.

That brings up an off-topic point I've always wondered about. If apple will not make it possible for third party devices to interface with the iPhone through the normal port, why do approve apps that rely on hardware using the audio ja

Honest and sympathetic enough. And a low tech note scrawled with a sharpe may have an advantage there.

Yes, but I expect the vast majority of chase targets were not planning to be chased, and would thus not have counter measures ready.

Jason, if you're reading this: bravo. Finally finally finally an article about teaching by someone that is actually doing it and seeing it through. Your words ring true because you have such extensive first hand knowledge. I used to

I agree with your point. It seems insane to me to not have someone with a sharp mind and a friendly demeanor just go and travel around rural India for a couple weeks. Hire a guide once you're there. This would be in addition to any

The refurbished point confused me. Does that mean they refurbish your own old one? If so, I would think that would alleviate most people's cootie fears. And if it's someone else's, how does that work? I thought they had to
