I wish every programming language website was like this. First thing you see is a short description the language, with an image on the side showing example code. Beneath that, a short example program that does something non-trivial. This is

The whole "program is a model" part makes me think of Smalltalk's image-based system. I never really got used to programming this way myself, but I do think an image-based environment might check some of the author's box

As someone close with a two-spirit person, this is the most offensive and ignorant thing i’ve seen on this topic by far.

This is so cool. I've been wanting to pick up an older mac for the sole purpose of doing some programming on classic MacOS myself. I actually have a Macintosh SE, but it's a bit too underpowered for my tastes. Anyway, I was hoping

I was just wondering the same thing. Like, I get that ed isn't exactly a household name when it comes to software generally, but in the very specific world of terminal emulators it's practically royalty.

Love the simplicity, and it looks like this could serve as a great example for people wanting to write their own WM. Might I suggest adding a link to a screenshot directly in the README? I personally have a weird fascination with window man

This, paired with their Pointers and Memory [1] guide are how I learned C in college. They're both pretty short and to the point, I would highly recommend. [1] http://cslibrary.stanford.edu/102/PointersAndMemory.pd

These two sentences, I think, best summarize the article's position on the topic: > Instead of taking the summer to hone arguments against returning to the classroom, administrators and teachers should be thinking about how they can

I can't tell if this is supposed to be an argument against what I said, but free speech does not insulate you from criticism or consequences. Go ahead, be homophobic/transphobic/racist/whatever in public (really, feel fr

Sorry, but if you publicly make ignorant statements on social media about a group of people then you and your project/community/whatever deserve to be called out for not being inclusive. If you want to foster an environment of inc

I wouldn't be surprised if they've determined that developers will generally put up with a bad experience in order to have access to the massive iOS market.

My experience mirrors yours, with some exception. The company I recently accepted a role at was great throughout the interview process. A friendly, knowledgeable person from HR conducted my phone interview. The on-site interview was conduct

Citation definitely needed. At the end of prohibition, one could have just as easily said something like "Why work when you can drink and play cards/horseshoes/whatever all day?"

For me it was the straw that broke the camel's back. When this change went live I decided to switch to DDG and it's been a great experience. Search results are, in my opinion, more relevant and generally of better quality. I wish

Your comment completely ignores the reality for many, many people. I was a low income college student who drove and public transportation was not an option for me. Outside of very large cities public transportation is often inefficient to t

This "mess" is an attempt to encourage/enforce basic decency in their community. Why do you think they should "change course"?

I get that the article used Common Lisp to create the punny title and much of its contents are broadly about why its important to keep languages relatively small, but I'm sort of disappointed most of the language-specific talk was abou

I've noticed a bit of an ebb and flow of vegetarian options at restaurants here in the mid-west US. There were not a lot of options when I went vegetarian/vegan in the early 2000's, but gradually that got better and better an

Judging from other comments this is an unpopular idea, but why does business get to be some sort of quasi morality-free zone where nobody has to take responsibility for anything? If a friend works for a company that engages in activity that

I guess it "fits" with what they're already doing in the sense that it's mitigating risk for the company, but paying the driver pennies when they get a decent tip is on another level entirely. Nobody would ever expect th

Seems most of the books recommended are for non-fiction, so I'll add some fiction to the mix. The Hyperion Cantos series by Dan Simmons. It is deeply philosophical and caused me to think about life in a way no other science fiction has

I've been thinking about this, too. If you have the right connections and can pull down a bunch of VC money year after year for your business it seems you could go your entire career without having to generate profit!

Weird, I was actually writing a response wondering whether there was a term for this phenomenon and then got distracted by work. I made a post about a week ago that I thought would be fairly unpopular and it ended up being my most upvoted p

That looks super annoying (seems like a really good way to get zero return customers), but does anyone remember how difficult it was for people to quit AOL in the (early?) 2000's? Just search for "cancel AOL" on youtube and y

Reading these comments, it seems like a lot of HNers don't understand how awful the power dynamic can be between workers and bosses outside of a tech/white-collar context. Sure, office work can be toxic, but at places like bars, r
