To my understanding, the point is that it will make you more aware of your limitations, which (again, in my opinion) will make you a better programmer. And I don't think your comparison to physics is apt: your customer doesn't see

The keyboard immediately made me decide never to buy such a device. It is absolutely terrible.

I get how the author feels, but, apart from the fact Elm does not _claim_ to be ready for production use, this seems to come down to "functional languages are different from non-functional languages and I can't wrap my head around

Many do. The author probably does, because it doesn't seem like they'd choose "he" as their pronoun.

Yes, because the comment refers to "stories like these", and not only the specific story in question. Also, what makes you think the author is male?

It has been taken down. Does anyone have a cloned copy and can make it available?

Interestingly, this seems to contradict findings of segmented sleep ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_sleep ).

The headline does not match his conclusion at all, in my opinion. What he's trying to say is that "dynamic scripting languages are slower and more error-prone than compiled, statically typed languages". And to determine wheth

I can't speak for myself since I'm German, but e.g. at the university and technical university in Hamburg there are lots of foreign students who seem to enjoy themselves :) I do not have any hard numbers at hand, though.

So many buzzwords. I stopped reading at the point where he claimed that NFC would become more important than WiFi and Bluetooth combined.

It does. I installed an up-to-date version with homebrew a few months ago, and it was vulnerable as well. After a `brew update && brew upgrade bash` I had the fix installed, though :)

From the article: "Its syntax [Bash] is insane, incredibly error prone, its defaults are awful, and it’s not a real big person programming language." A "real big person programming language"? Wow, that guy's got som

I tried to compile this from within DosBox, but I couldn't find a `makeobj` binary to build the stuff in the static directory. Does anyone know where that would come from?

I don't know any polish, but this seems to be the name of his company rather than his actual name, which would be just 'Dariusz Jakubowski'. I concluded this because the entry that contains the bobby tables reference is calle

I studied in Hamburg, Germany. We started our first programming course with Ruby, the second was Java. We did some Prolog and Erlang later on and I took an optional course on the the basics of FP in which Scala was used. Oh, and there as a

Hmm, that font seems to be copying Android and iOS icons nearly 1:1. How does that hold up from a copyright perspective?

It doesn't seem possible to delete a playlist or remove tracks from one :( Other than that it's pretty great, maybe I can automate my playlist management now :)

So weird... `dig` properly resolves planleaf.com to an IP, I can ping that IP but both Fx and Chrome say "Server not found" ... :D

How are regular expressions "random" and "application-specific"? Admittedly I do not have a source for this, but I'd assume that a large percentage of programs employs Regexes somewhere. Every major language has Reg

I myself am quite happy with DomainFactory's JiffyBox Service ( http://www.df.eu/ ). They have recent Debian and Ubuntu images and you pay per 0.02Euros/Hour (smallest box, 3 cores 2gb ram 75gb hdd), which amounts t

How is this meaningful at all? Of course people knew how to do stuff in Windows 7 because it had, except for some minor and cosmetic changes, basically the same UI as Windows 95. Now with Windows 8 the actually re-designed stuff completely.

My impression on the U.S. startup world has been "either you go (very) big or you die/fail". In Germany, in contrast, it is perfectly fine for a startup to earn a million or less a year, and never even aspire to earn billions
