Maybe the "entry level" vocabulary, etc., is exactly why it was taught in my Russian class in college. As for it's doctrinaire qualities: At least it's not Alexander Dovzhenko's film, "Earth."

I don't know why, but in my Soviet literature course in college (early 1980s) we read Cement. Maybe it was on syllabi back then because there was also an English translation. (Now that I look at Amazon, maybe there wasn't a transl

You ask about _literature_ specifically: Depends on what you're teaching. I think novels like Cement and How the Steel was Tempered are hard sells in the classroom. And Quiet Flows the Don is so long. Having said that, a well-designed

What was it like? It was horrible. My experience was very lucky, but it was horrendous to see all of one's friends losing their jobs and scrambling. People who did get new jobs frequently took shitty jobs that set their careers back a

Reminds me of how Neal Stephenson in The Diamond Age taught us that a culture might control the copying of information by utilizing mechanical type to print newspapers, where each printing shows the grain of the type and is hard to simulate

It is rather amusing that the picture shows a Quebec stop sign with "Arret/Stop." In France, it would just say "Stop" - no need for bilingualism in that case.

Before your accept this review at face value, read the book for yourself. This review, like many, fails to note that the data in question regards first- and second-year students (i.e., the second sample is in the third semester -- only 1 1&

The response is as religious as the subject; and I don't think the AA allegory is very respectful.

Apparently I can only stream "The Americans" from Amazon. So there. (Would love to be told differently; and I don't steal media.)

"The nail in the coffin is ActiveRecord callbacks; before_save hooks on one class that modify the state of other objects." before_save can modify the state of other objects. It doesn't have to. One might use it to modify on

Jezis, now that I've read the article more closely: I can't speak to the Python, but that is Ruby with the left hand. Ew.

P.S. An interesting question is: Who's flocking to Go more, Rubyists or Pythonistas?

That's how you think a Rubyist would write Fibonacci? I think one might follow the Python "idea" but avoid defining a function . . . fib = lambda do |n| return n if n < 2 fib[n-1] + fib[n-2] end puts fib[8

Box was the first of these cloud drive providers to offer to sign a HIPAA BAA. For partners who did that and integrated through the API, they now have lock-in. On that basis alone, I think Box is here for the long haul. Meanwhile, while Goo

The egocentrism of the title is remarkable. Surely Brad means: "Why is one forbidden from using a mobile phone in US Immigration areas?" (Unless, of course, you specifically are forbidden to use a specific device -- an iPhone.)
