As a student hoping to become a software engineer, I'm a little nervous about Googles aggressiveness towards applying ML across many of their products. It makes me wonder: Will the field of software engineering be reduced to plugging M

I feel like the author didn't do this as a way to bash Clojure but to try and progress Common Lisp. Anecdotally, I remember Hickey saying something about a stagnation in the CL community, so if Clojure inspires cross-pollination of ide

I can definitely relate here. I've got a BA in music and an art minor, and am currently going back for an MS in Information Technology. I feel like the background in Art helps me grok abstraction quickly, but I have trouble when it get

Its a width vs depth argument. I think If you wanted to start digging deeper in any of the languages you learned in 2016 you could do so faster than having one language to consider. For instance, you've probably noticed that Clojure bo

I'm learning Vi(m) right now because next semester our C++ course (programming 2) will be taught within a UNIX environment. I'm new to linux as well, so after recently installing Fedora, I limited myself to using Vim as a way of p

I haven't learned ST yet but look forward to someday; currently I'm learning a bit of Ruby. I don't doubt that it is an excellent language, but is it actually easier to learn without any prior programming experience, or is

Wow, since I went back to school recently I've lost touch with the HTML/JS news, so I've been completely unaware of browsers starting to integrate these features. Will this mean less dependence on React in the near future, or

I've been wanting to do something like this a while now, and I think you've done a great job! I really appreciate how you used the sine waves to demonstrate consonance, and the pentatonic section is a great intro into the world of

funfunfunction is great! MPJ's attitude and personality is the best part because he tries to keep you from getting overwhelmed and/or burnt out.

I agree, The Diamond Age is my favorite book from Stephenson so far (I have the baroque cycle and pre-snowcrash books left to read), but something about Anathem makes me feel like it has staying power. Just my opinion though.

I'm reading Neal Stephenson's Anathem now. I feel like it's a book that will stay relevant in the future, partly because of how cultural persistence is an element of the story. edit: I spelled the title incorrectly.

Usually mathematics is taught in a progression, and layers are built upon more basic layers. A 'non-mathematician' is someone who does not consider it their life's goal to solidify their expertise in mathematics, so they may

JavaScript devs have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to tools/frameworks. It is overwhelming yes, but this anecdotal ranting is counterproductive. JQuery still works excellently, and so does ReactJS if you have the patience an

Great points here! I agree with you that there are people who chase after novelty and don't complete most of what they start. If the person is naive about it then I would be weary about hiring them, but it depends on the persons motive
