I'd love to give this a try next time I'm working on a Ruby codebase. In the meantime, I'm curious to learn more about programming by example. I found [this Microsoft paper on the subject]( https://www.microsoft.com

Where did you find them? I've had experience working with such people and progressed so fast. At other times it's back to hours on docs and StackOverflow. Would love to find mentors for hire.

How do you find books? I've lived in the US for a decade after growing up going to school in French and find it hard to find books I enjoy reading. Not knowing many French speakers means I don't get book recommendations like I do

The phrase is "reduce, reuse, recycle, in that order" (each being better than the next). In this context, reduction means not buying styrofoam in the first place. I think you're confusing reduction with recycling.

Plants ferry carbon into their roots and into the soil, where it remains in a stable form. Also, increased CO2 is only one of the reasons temperatures are rising. Cloud coverage has an impact on temperatures too, and plant transpiration put

I think that an expectation of global standards is unrealistic. When you arrive in a new city, you have to learn plenty of things like where things are, how to get around, and what laws differ. I don't think that asking people to figur

Great concept. The text editor is broken for me (I place the caret, then try to type, and it only works half the time and jumps around to other spots the other half of the time without inputting any text). Also, I'd like to see results

I thought so too, but I measured one of the paragraphs at 210 characters. Which can mean one of two things. Hopefully, it's unrelated to Twitter and there's another perfectly good explanation. Alternatively, it's inspired by

I've been wanting to build something like this. It would be really cool to see all tabs' histories side by side rather than just the current tab. Even though a tree gets wide pretty quickly, you're seldom using multiple tabs
