As soon as someone doesn't acknowledge my name when I pick up the phone, I hang up on them, since I figure only a robot would ignore such basic etiquette. Thankfully, I don't get robocalled that often. Now, hooking a telemarketer

I should have made it clear that this wasn't an example of Powershell being superior to bash, just what I can remember from that little script.

Is there an actual app here, or is this just a website describing something that would be nice to have right now?

Powershell is the first language where I managed to save time by writing a program for a task. Needless to say, I'm thrilled at the prospect of using it on Linux. The only thing that I hope they will need to work on is startup time mak

It's not that credit cards are inherently bad, but that they are dangerous/risky if you personally struggle with impulse control. The examples do seem to be decently unrelated, but we also don't know the full story, so there

Sometimes self-control means putting yourself in a situation where you're less likely to make a mistake, saving your resolve for other situations. Also, nobody in the article was blaming credit cards for lack of ability to spend. I thi

This is something I fall squarely into. I've avoided debt like the plague, preferring to live a few years behind the tech curve in electronics and using older cars and such. I do use a debit card a decent amount however, for better and

Even if that's not able to directly take over the web browser, it's really annoying to have your mouse taken over like that.

Thanks for the clarification on all that. You have some good "simple" (but not obvious) ideas there too, like the correlated ids in logs

I enjoyed the first Dune book, solely on the amount of world building in the book. But I never read any of the others other than the 3rd one, as Herbert seemed to get a bit long in the tooth with all the grandiose plans involving the god em

Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software was one of the most formative books for my programming self education. I've tried to loan it to several of my friends more than once, and it was a gift to me. Also had a str

Interesting that he considers logs to not be worth the investment. I can appreciate his argument and all, and logging seems pretty hard to get right, but still. Thankfully, my current job is a monolith database and webserver on a box, so I&

Yeah. Getting started in a new discipline isn't easy either. Between jargon, investing in tools, and figuring out where all the good documentation is and purchasing it (most other disciplines don't give away most of their best ide

Also, the thing with books, even the in depth ones like Code Complete, is that no book can give you experience in taking an idea and making it real, and that is the core of software development, especially when you are working solo and don&

My strategy has been to think of a project to do, and then to try to match my tech to that. For instance, I picked up a bit of Love2D at LudumDare 34. Sometimes it works in reverse, I wrote a blog engine for junglecoder.com because I wanted

Very interesting metaphor. I would say that skilled peoe don't always plan their next project, but I do on occasion. I can strongly relate to having a lot of little side projects however. That seems to be where I learn the most stuff

This is really scummy behavior on then part of Comodo. I'm glad to not have had to do business with them. I suppose it does show how much Comodo is threatened by ISRG in this regard. It will be interesting to see if any of the big-corp

Should we put a (2007) on this? It is still a relevant subject, perhaps one of the more timeless pieces Jeff has written, but it is from some time in the past.

Haven't read the article all the way, but the "Hey HN, sorry to do this" dialog caught me off guard (I know that referrer headers can be used for it). Nice touch, BenjaminTodd.

What courses form the mathatical basis for writing compilers? Discrete Math and the like?

Sounds like learning VI or ed might be helpful for that, since they are designed to be mouse free. It may not be the exact thing you need, but they offer a lot from the keyboard.

Looks like a very interesting little language, I enjoyed working with TCL a fair bit due to things like wish being so interactive. It's also interesting that they added pointers to TCL, which solves my biggest gripe with TCL.

Ah, the npm jokes are just not stopping. I suppose it goes to show just how popular node and npm are.

This is a pretty nice tutorial, but it's for an out of date version of phoenix (0.8), and phoenix is currently on version 1.1.4

I host my own blog ( http://junglecoder.com ) on a VPS at the moment. But I went rather overboard with it, as I built my own CMS-lite in go. I was in college, wanted to learn how the web worked at a decently low level (lower than
