I work as a C++ programmer. I would love to switch to Rust, but: (1) To my knowledge, it has only one implementation, which isn't surprising, given there is no spec, so basically there is nothing to reimplement. As @sircmpwn put it: &g

My best guess would be that it is caused by the fact that GMail doesn't really have folders per se. It emulates them when it's syncing with your client through IMAP and the web interface shows you folder icons, but these are reall

Files can be shared in a directory everyone has access to. On Unix-like system it doesn’t pose any problems (create a special group and assign permissions to it). I would suspect that on Windows you can do something similar (setting up a “D

It is is possible to know where the style comes from and still dislike it. E.g. I read Plato’s Republic [sic] and hate it for, among other things, its literary style. I find it artificial and, in the case of Plato, fundamentally dishonest -

The title is misleading. It should be “How to Get Your First Users”.

So the author claims that the JS ecosystem is excellent and HTML&CSS are broken? Yet it is my never-ending experience with the web that a website’s usability is inversely proportional to the extent it uses fancy JS frameworks.

You can probably mail a maintainer or a developer for hints of a project you'd be interested in. Or better you can send a question to the project's mailing list. People there often are very helpful. I've done that. It worked.

I like the fragmentation, because different people have different needs. E.g. I prefer a much more minimalistic setup than my colleagues who use IDEs like Eclipse. I've never been able to comfortably use an IDE. And not a single vim co
