Spotify doesn't have shuffle in the free version, you might be thinking of Pandora. Spotify makes you pay to get rid of annoying ads that come on every 10-20 minutes. They also offer higher quality music and an offine mode when you pay

I can't explain the article but I can explain P vs NP (it's been a few years though so please forgive any mistakes). P and NP are two classes of problems. P is simply problems with an input n that can be solved in n^c time for som

It took me a minute but I figured out the YouTube video is part of it, if you click on an element, you get a YouTube video of people showing the element in glass tubes and such. Awesome idea, absolutely horrid execution. On the left, betwee

I had a similar issue. I thought the compass wasn't anything special, I thought it was just another resource, maybe I could trade it for other things or something. I literally bought the compass as the last thing, I had my hut up to 1

Nope, that's not all that should matter. The reason is copyright vs. patents. Both are made to prevent copying but in different ways. Copyright says this product is not copyable. Patents say this aspect of the product is not copyable.

That's definitely the case for me. I'm going to move in with two friends I made from college, both are very smart, one is a programmer with ideas to form his own startup, working with him is so much more useful than any class from college.

Exactly. I'm starting a company soon, half of the software I plan to sell is software my mom asked for. I know the software I build is good because my mom likes it. However, the way my mom likes my software is she uses it to fix the prob

Yeah I disagreed with that as well. Though I think in classrooms it's "Decoupling," but in the business world they usually say "Model View Controller."

Upon opening it up, I am shown the only picture in the article: a computer with a photoshopped on scumbag hat and a caption - Scumbag Bitcoin Miner. While I understand the use of this on Reddit, in an article it seriously makes me question

Nice! I think you found the happy medium between the OPs two methods. His first is too long which creates more dependency on being able to read the language and his second is too short which creates more dependence on knowing the functions

Nice! I've started using files to separate logic, I recently went from 3 tiered (GUI/code/libraries) to 4 tiered (GUI design/GUI action code/data structures and algorithms/libraries) and added folders for elements (like a custom made back

I use it more as a way to shortcut sites. For example, if I want to Wikipedia "pi" instead of typing www.wikipedia.org, in the address bar, then typing in "pi" in the site's search bar, I enter it in Google and find the link. Firefox's aw

I have my own to add which I'll tackle if I ever get smart enough. Code is horrible right now. The problem is that code is written linearly, when in our minds it is a graph. It's usually a bad sign when our minds see things differently t

I have issues with both #2 and #5, having just gone through the getting hired process myself. I think a portfolio is good, but I can't stand this "let's look at Github and Stack Overflow" attitude. To my interviews I brought four projects

It's just for show. I got into it after I finally went from lurker to poster and gained 10 karma overnight. Then I went from 10 to 20 from contributing to the community. However, then I went from 20 to 12 after I made a few posts about p

I've found good longevity for my code, I work in image processing and file organization. I think I would categorize it as tools. I still use a lot of tool like software too, like Notepad, Paint, I use a video processing software called TM

I know a good bit of other languages, lots of C family and Java, and dabbled with Ruby, Perl, and a few others. I got turned off of the functional languages mainly by Lisp though, as I found it to be unreadable. Perhaps I will try Haskell

First a disclaimer, I am a major Python fan. While I don't wish to argue with you, I'd like to share a personal experience that made me realize the advantages of popularity. I began my hobby programming with a language named AutoIt that p

Why did this get downvoted? I am truly saddened to see on a forum such as this a simple comment about personal language choices being downvoted.

So you bring up some good points, I admit I am a little saddened to see my comment downvoted though and hope to clear a few things up. First the point I was making was about my experience, I understand I do not have deep functional progr

Mine are: 1. Python - mixed with C extensions used in a functional way 2. Java - when I need better compile time tools and analysis such as static typing 3. AutoIt - Windows scripting I have also dabbled in C++, C#, Ruby, and Perl, you ne

I love the combination of C and Python. Python's my favorite language, but the speed totally sucks. So I code my core algorithms in C and everything else in Python.

I hate functional programming languages but love functional programming. I think the way Python does it is really good, combining the power with readability, whereas the functional languages I've seen are completely unreadable (operators n

I understand his point with gigantic messy software, but a lot of software you can actually learn the problems of how it was coded the first time and do it better the second time. It is very situation dependent on whether the messiness is a

yeah I thought that was really strange too. Perhaps they could have gotten away with the metaphor if they didn't choose the "small" thing as the Vancouver office tower. Why not compare it to a house or something every is familiar with?

Actually, both your solution and theirs are not O(1). Theirs is n^2, while yours is n lg n due to the use of a sort function. The best way to do this would simply be to find the largest element, ignore that element and find the largest ele

I couldn't even figure out what the word was til about 20 seconds of staring at it. It would be better as info-veganism, I was trying to parse it as in-fov-egan-ism, or in-fove-gan-ism and such.

Though I might not like what he did, I admire the skill itself, and more honest applications of it. Anyone who finds the article interesting should watch "Catch Me if You Can" a movie about a criminal who uses these techniques to steal mon
