   Well, I think the biggest argument against Arch or Gentoo (even though I like both and actually am using Arch right now) is that you can't/don't want to use it for a production server. Frugalware may do a better job for that (if you love Ar

   Node would be POE. Just like Node is Twisted in Python or EventMachine in Ruby. So it's not exactly a new technique, "just" a new technology bringing a lot of fresh air. :) I don't think anything like Mojolicious exists in other programming

   Even games consist of work. If they don't they tend to be rather boring. I think it's not good for humanity to be forced to things, because it prevents them from learning to love them. As an example everyone loves to read books unless they

   Well, I know some girls like pirates at least, but when I think about the old pirate movies... well, maybe old movies in general.

   I don't consider this article bad at all, because it really makes some good points. However a lot of criticism seems to come from the fact that the author is a Python programmer and therefor wants CoffeeScript to be more like Python. No, I

   On the other hand it's not like usual FPS have everything calculated on the server side, which is why there is a difference between most MMOs and FPSs and why there are still cheaters. There are various countermeasures. There are even a lot

    Actually it appears like you misunderstood me, because what you just said proves what I wrote, which is that there are exceptions like the MIT. However, I know enough Americans personally to know that most universities aren't at this level.

    I kinda agree. I am 23, but even though age is a proxy for experience one shouldn't overvalue experience in first place. In face experience can be a huge hindrance. Experience can (but doesn't necessarily) lead to be less open, to be less c

    Coming from a European country where we still have free university I think it's a good thing. Sadly things are changing. Now there are limitations, first universities where you have to pay and ever since this was introduced you can follow h

    But it's not like Assembly has no pragmatic use. I agree, people often tend to use too low level languages, but there are also good reasons to use Assembly, just like for about any language. In most cases people had a good reason to impleme
