That's all good and well, I used to use OpenDNS to try to block porn, so I can see the idea behind what they are trying to do. Unfortunately my son worked out how to use VPN a long time ago so really the only choice I got now is to be

SQL is a very practical skill for every developer to have, but I think it would take quite an exceptional 15 year old to be able to stay interested in it long enough for them to become useful. I would at least encourage them to learn anothe

I've only had a brief look at Neo4J, but I really like what I see. Graph databases seem to be marketed as an ideal way to represent a social network or similar where you want to represent the connections with other entities. I see them

I am very intrigued by BSD as it comes highly recommended here. I just need an excuse to dip my toes. I need to set up a nginx -> nodejs server for a project soon. Given I have set up a number of linux servers without trouble, how much o

My wife.. she despises computers and only learns stuff that she absolutely has to, even then it is very reluctantly and is intensely stressful for everyone in her vicinity.

It is that 5% that refuse to go away and then reinstall themselves when you finally work out how to get rid of them that takes up 95% of the time.

InDesign is the industry standard. There may be loads of OS alternatives, but unfortunately for people who can only just use a mouse and have invested years into learning that one package they just aren't going to be willing to invest

I can't find my InDesign icon... where have you put it?

The problem is that is an all or nothing solution. Sometimes they legitimately need to install something.

I seem to recall getting burnt by them a long time ago, so I've never trusted them. Are they stable now?

I regularly get called by people complaining that their computer no longer works. Pretty much every time it turns out that their machine is loaded with crapware. It amazes me how people just put up with random browser windows popping up and

I have completely destroyed the Oracle installation on my windows machine.. just cannot get it to run anymore. So I quickly downloaded boot2docker and from there pulled in a prebuilt Docker oracle instance. In very little time I have a work

Looks great. Presumably being React powered means it would work nicely with the various ClojureScript React wrappers such as Om and Reagent.

I have been doing C#. I never knew about that Ctrl+,. Thanks for pointing it out. I don't think it is as powerful as XCodes, XCode does more fuzzy matching. I think (don't have mac open to check) in XCode if I have a file called C

I'm actually a version behind, I haven't got round to updating to the latest yet. What is it about XCode that you think is bad? Everyone uses their tools in different ways. I use Visual Studio in my day job, but I prefer to use Em

XCode was terrible around 2009, but it has come on a long way since. I'm not using it much these days, but when I need to it does amaze me how easy it actually it is to use. I normally depend on vim keybindings, but I find that the aut

Probably because GitHub is based in the US.

I'm guessing because .and is a function it can be used to pass into any higher order function. var x = [true, false, true, false]; x.reduce(and, true); // == false x.reduce(or, false); // == true

I don't really see how any of these are a problem with Angular specifically and not just a general problem with any development. With any team that has varying experience, the beginner developers are more likely to write bad code regar

I'd put money on that being a data file.

You may find vsVim ( https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/59ca71b3-a4a3... ) useful. I can't use Visual Studio without it.

I wonder why they went to all that effort when they could have just used Xamarin and one of several IL to JS traspilers instead. Probably just a standard case of Not Invented Here syndrome.

It took me a while before I realised you could do that. Before that I would type the whole thing out again. When I realised you could copy parts of the line my mind was blown! Ah.. those were good days..

Absolutely. I used to use hungarian notation in a static language because I was so scared of getting the wrong type. It was a huge revelation that actually this never happens. However, whilst I never hit on basic type errors such as passing

The annoying thing about customising Emacs is that when following along with tutorials, I keep tripping up against shortcuts that I have reconfigured to work in a different way. Luckily emacs lets you type out the command in full to bypass

It would destroy Xamarin if they made it free to develop C# for iOS/Android.
