i've always thought of Ruby as a very clean, elegant, ergonomic language to write tools in (based on a few months of experience working with it a few years ago). I'm familiar enough with JS that i would primarily use JS now for we

i'm a bit confused about who the target audience for this tutorial is...it is too fast-paced for a newbie, but also seems to be too basic for anyone who is experienced with other programming languages. not entirely sure what the "

I don’t quite understand your point. macOS just recently enabled dark mode as a “feature” pretty much decades after other OSes have had this built-in To me, dark mode is the prime example of the flimsiness of relying on native GUI solutions

I've been wanting to buy a new analog synthesizer for a few years now, but i almost always balk at the price of these things. I can afford these things, but they never feel like a sound financial choice. Personally, I blame the Raspber

This is the definitely the best implementation of a C++ code visualization i've seen yet, kudos to the developers for this That said, its a bit sad that this is in C++, which I think is an atrocious language for coding beginners to lea

I personally think that the JavaScript community is doing a great job with its tooling and approach. Compared to other language environments I’ve worked with (C, C++, Python), most common JS tools work in predictable, user-friendly ways...a

One methodological issue that I can detect in this article is the choice of forums used to draw their conclusions: > We predicted and found that anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation forums contained more absolutist words than contr

Hmm this is actually quite interesting...I don’t know anyone IRL who has such deep integration with google services (apart from a few googlers of course). You seem to be exactly the kind of user that would benefit from chrome’s recent chang

Well, I think you’re paying for the better speed in chrome by sacrificing your privacy. Isn’t that how this all works? You consent to being tracked -> google gets money off of tracking you -> google can pay more engineers to work on c

I’ve been using the iPhone 6s for years now, and still not been happy with the large screen size and aspect ratio. I hope Apple releases a updated version of the iPhone SE which seems like a better form factor for me.

I’m not sure if that’s actually true...vim has a hard dependency on ‘vim-runtime’ which is actually pretty big (28mb)

i think the real reason for this is related to the availability of easy-to-use and up to date learning materials, more than anything else Those people who are good at OS/Compilers etc would still need to use a tutorial to pick up HTML&

That’s not really an apples-to-apples comparison. In the case of the pharmaceutical company, people don’t really have any other choice other than to take experimental medicine for terminal stage diseases. On the other hand, there are widely
