There is no need for benchmarks, because presenting static files will always be faster than dynamic web apps like WordPress. Hexo (and Jekyll, Pelican, etc) pre-compile from Markdown to HTML which then gets served up as a static resource fr

The wealth disparity is probably more evident in SF. For example, Honolulu has a huge homeless population despite the huge tourism industry. The city just pushes homeless towards parts of the island where tourists don't visit and thus are

I second shot weddings and freelanced events, and have spent more on camera gear than my car. Marco's advice is terrible and akin to, "Don't learn programming if you'll only use one language." It's a chicken or egg first problem. People buy

You can pass some interviews by blindly memorizing, but it's unnecessary. If you understand a concept, then you can reason its big O. Memorization implies a superficial understanding that may be revealed later. If you don't understand somet

Umm... fuck no . There is no reason that you can't use git as a master repository system--that's how most people treat GitHub anyway. OTOH if you want to do anything besides the basic commit or update with Subversion, it's ridiculously dif

Rather than relying on syntax tricks, I'm sure most editors allow for block commenting or comment inversion. For example with NERD Commentor vim plugin, you can toggle block comments with `<leader>c<space>`. Inverting commen

Well there is the "official" definition on Wikipedia.[0] Informally, my definition of a functional programming language is one that supports functional style as the default. (Hooray for using a recursive definition. :p) The language should

I don't think $120k is possible as a new grad in Austin. New grad rates tend to be $50 - 70k, while some bigger companies offer ~$90k. $90k in Austin is a much better standard of living than $120k in Bay Area though...

I worked on GNOME for a summer, and can see Go being a viable option for DE's. GNOME has added a lot of libraries to bring object support to C, but Haskell has proven gc language is fast enough for a WM (xmonad). Go might need to improve it

I know Go has been touted as a C successor since inception, but most new users seem to be coming from interpreted languages. Like this blogger, they attribute a lot static language advantages as unique to Go. I don't see a lot of C/C++ deve

We have two differing definitions of functional programming. I would argue that your code represents functional style in an imperative language. If function pointers are sufficient to qualify a language as a functional, then that would incl
