How nostalgic for me, reminds me of my days as a junior Data General field engineer - Nova 3, Eclipse S/130, S/140, S/200'S + Phoenix and Gemini 10+10 and 5+5 toploaders. Admittedly this was their Dasher D200 (current loop) and LP2 era, but

I think you've made a good choice with keeping VS out of the picture. Understanding the basics of compiling from the command line is where I start with novices. No point blowing their minds with a gazillion IDE knobs and dials. You could ta

One thing that jumped out at me right away is your indentation style which is a wee bit messy. New programmers need to be taught good/consistent coding style in the early stages of their development as well as how to use the language. Your

No, quite the opposite. Nothing is rushed in Ireland and there's a general attitude of not really spending any effort worrying too much about things that might be important to non-Irish folks.

I saw those as I spelunked the docs, but I'd like to see something more full fat and playable.

Would be nice to see some examples of completed games on the site, even if they're just YouTube walk throughs.

Would you care to elaborate on the "serious regressions" you perceive to have happened?

I agree, Roy Fielding could take a leaf out of Marco's book and admit he was wrong too: https://github.com/apache/httpd/commit/a381ff35fa4d50a5f7b9f... That's another example of abusing your trusted position. Just because you're having a

If your finances can't stretch to $700-$1000 for a chair I can thoroughly recommend the Ikea Volmar [1]. I had the previous version and just replaced it with a new one. The old one gave me 10 years of great service but the seat padding need

It's a shame you had to experience that. Unfortunately, there are some folks who still haven't gotten the "it's ok to answer your own questions" memo [1]. But don't be discouraged. Ignore the trolls, flag for mod attention and we'll sort ou

So someone closes one question and you decide that's it? You know, there's a flag link under every post. If you thought a question was wrongly closed by the community or a mod then flag it and explain why. Nothing is irreversible.

No-one has ever suggested that SO rep alone should be used solely to judge someone's skills when hiring. Then neither would the contents of your github or bitbucket repo (after all how do you prove that the code in the repo is yours?). SO r

The community expects folks posting questions to have done at least a tiny modicum of work before asking for help. You even admitted in the comments from back then that: "@event_jr. Screw you. I'm looking for a quick elisp solution not your

That was the only truly contentious user impacting change they've made over the four years the site has been around. I think your last sentence is a nonsensical justification to complain. If anything many of the recent changes have been to

The global rep recalc happened in March 2010 and for good reason: http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/03/important-reputation-r... There were users who were earning huge swatches of rep by asking hundreds of questions and giving little bac

If Carl had the presence of mind back in 1998 and open sourced enough of the Rebol eco system to be useful for web platform development, then /index.r rather than /index.php might have been one of the most popular default documents in the w

"They had a preconceived notion of what StackOverflow Is and they are going to stick to it, users be damned." Which is why the site is hugely successful. If you want discussion then do it here or on Reddit. I don't want the questions I as
