There's certainly something good that there isn't an "easy" solution. If it were trivial to reduce CO2 from 400 ppm to 350 ppm, it would be easy to get to 0 parts per million, which would extinguish all plant life on the

To be honest, that sounds like a really stupid idea.

It sounds like the author is being categorically dismissive of a group of people that I can't even match. Is he against people with salaries developing software? Is he against people who aren't paid from writing software? Should p

This sounds like more of an issue acclimating to a dynamic language from C++. Some JavaScript developers don't use any libraries at all! Not the best solution either, but you have to remember how to be independent and constructive, eve

I'm not sure that the author cares very much about CPU registers.

I think it's great to look at existing compilers, but probably better to look at past compilers. I stumbled upon the first edition of cc the other day: https://github.com/mortdeus/legacy-cc It's also helpful

These are definitely some interesting ideas on breaking into a new discipline. The little projects list is great and it's definitely good motivation to start improving skills. One problem I have with this article though, is not with th

When doing serious development and hitting these issues, the workaround isn't to continue using a broken language. The workaround is to use a different language. The first question 'Does this language run on the target system that

If you really want the full understanding of compilers, you should write a simple compiler. 1. Design your own programming language, or equally, pick a language and remove virtually every feature. In fact, there's no rule that this inp

Well, it's not actually true. Imagine a world where all software were written in assembly language, or even better, machine code. There would be no use for compilers. 'Portable code' would be machine code that was frantically

No, many great developers have their hands full because they have a number of ambitious projects. Certainly some tasks take enormous effort regardless of your technique. Also, some don't care to write or proselytize.

Konami in this case owns copyright to the game, and ironically the original YouTube poster might have a (weak) case against the original aired Family Guy episode and Fox.

That's true, it's much harder to wax philosophical when you have your hands full in the first place.

No, probably not coming from a web development bootcamp, but with an associate's degree and a software engineering background, I could totally see someone working at any of these named places (for engineering work).

I think saying that a computer science education is a way to learn "abstract thinking" is a useless simplification, given that any undergraduate degree involves some amount of abstract thinking. Surely a bootcamper is more prepare

Good points on batching ACH transactions cheaply. I think part of their pitch or spin was that it would be "instant" which quickly increased the required capital from something reasonable to something astronomical.

Reading a bit more into the financial side of things — PayPal users must be 18 or must be using their parent's account. Adults can have one personal and one business account, so that wouldn't really work. It also isn't easy t

A distributed list app, actually, which is more functional and builds a network of users. It's possible to move out of monetary plans from that point to a bulletin board at least. Which can be free or $2 to download.

Fair points. I really am commenting as an outsider, so don't think that I speak from experience. As a programmer, though, I am much more interested in seeing something built than in selling it or seeing it become popular, which fair en

I'm not entirely sure why there needs to be a financial services or banking contract to build this app and startup. What's wrong with PayPal? Or bank accounts? Or Stripe/Square/Braintree? Paper checks? This might be a li

Statistical models for parsing are almost guaranteed to fail at parsing garden path sentences.

Yes, the press release is (actually) pretty difficult to parse and really opaque in how the comparison is measured, which is why I wanted to throw into question the blog's headline, "The World's Most Accurate Parser." It

Really, the mechanism of all these parsers, including SyntaxNet, is the same in that they use statistical training data to set up a neural network. Here's a paper on the Stanford CoreNLP parser, which you can compare with Google's

Yes, my mistake. Their claim is that SyntaxNet (originally described in the paper and improved over one month) is the best in field, whereas Parsey McParseface is just one trained instance.
