I also highly recommend Learn Git The Hard Way. Most developers who spend an afternoon with it will come away with a firm understanding of git's core abstractions. Book: https://leanpub.com/learngitthehardway

I thought the same; my account [1]. Maybe Shannon [1937] influenced the ENAIC-ers? Dyson hardly mentions him (4 references [2]), of which the most notable is: "Claude Shannon, whose mathematical theory of communication showed how a com

Wonderful inductive reasoning from why object oriented programming of a game is challenging in Rust to some larger lessons about managing large type systems. I felt the discussion of crossing the barrier to Lua hinted towards some larger tr

Edsall, whose work I generally hold in high regard, does not address the argument that the common cause of many of the problems is a regime which prevents home building where the jobs are.

Hi Olivier! I love that you want to help people understand carbon consumption. Some points: 1. Volume, not intensity, warms the globe. 2. If you have "no data available" for China, Saudi Arabia, Texas, ... you are missing a plural

If you remove the value judgments from your comment, you and I are saying the same thing. Many developers say they want to "get something working quickly", where "working" means "executing and performing some simple
