   I think a big problem is people not distinguishing "Programming" from "Computer Science". Sure, Python isn't the greatest for understanding how a computer functions, but like the author says, it's very fast and

   What responsibility to stand against proprietary formats do we have? That was never my goal when becoming a developer. I want to make simple and useful tools for people, and a .xls file is the most simple and useful format when the goal is

   The majority of users have no idea what JSON is or how to even open it. So "decide what to do with it" will equate to trash it and find another website.

   I love the idea of a Humble Bundle, but for other interests, like this. But this bundle is a little confusing to me. I suppose selling things that may be used professionally is much different than selling video games or eBooks. The Creative

   Unlicensed code does not grant permission to use, in fact it's the exact opposite. The server is not pushing the source to you so that you can take it and use it in your own projects. It's pushing the source because that's ho

   By '"hi-rez" FLAC vs regular FLAC"' the parent post means something like 24/192 vs 16/44.1, not the amount of compression. It has a higher resolution than the other example.

   So the free Xamarin users will get Visual Studio support, but us with Xamarin Indie still have to use Xamarin Studio? I just want to use VS with Xamarin! But I guess that won't happen, because that's the only worthwhile reason to

    I don't really understand the value behind this. It seems like voice recognition is the main feature behind it, but that doesn't create a reason for a product to exist. It's basically my smartphone, except I can't carry

    The demo comes directly from the msdn, which is also funny. A cool feature would be the ability to rate the code snippet, and then searches could be filtered by rating. For snippets from websites with voting features, like Stack Overflow, i

    Ouch, they really did put a dent in my day. They were beautiful, however, and reading them really humanized Xu Lizhi more than simply reading about him in the article.

    It looks really neat, but as a new user, it was pretty fast. I'm not really sure what happened. Edit: It also seems to start before I see it, like when I've opened the page in a new tab. I didn't actually know there was a vid

    I find in this situation, sifting through more pages doesn't help, you'll need to continually refine your query. There's never been a point where I've gotten to page 2 on Google and thought "This information is good

    Ok, now I just re-read your comment and figured out the joke. That's some serious sarcasm talent, haha. Still going to (mostly) keep my comment though because of all the other comments that refer to this as "bookmarking" or m

    While I agree that coding boot-camps and all these fast-track programs can't produce a skilled, well-rounded developer in their own right, I don't think they're necessarily bad as long as expectations are managed (and the blo

    I feel like I'm repeating myself too much in this thread, haha, but only because it seems like no one is acknowledging that you can combine both forms very easily and produce very clear results. You just replace the staff notation with

    You can always switch to notation mode and work out the fingering for yourself, just like you normally would. The programs can also allow you to move notes between strings, and it will shift the tab so the note played is the same, even in a

    Tabs don't have to be just hand-scrawled notes or ASCII text anymore. With decent notation software, you can mix the notations. I don't think there's much that can be written in conventional music notation that can't be

    If it's your data, you should keep it instead of handing it off a to a service. Especially a free one with no obligation to hold onto your data. The cool thing about data is you don't need to store it in just one single place. &gt

    I've been very happy with LastPass too. I use it on my desktop and pay for the mobile app. But what I don't get is why we still need to use a password manager extension/app. Why isn't it built into the browser yet? Googl
