Wow, the audio example... It's like a solid wall of pure data.

I'm a real newbie in terms of web server deployment, but for my first web app I went with an EC2 VPS because I had no idea what sort of traffic to expect and how I would handle spikes. Despite having a pretty decent VPS from Inception

Why do the prices vary so much? I can understand trends like .io , but why does .iq cost $660?

I agree entirely. It's just as fast to read and typing abbreviations is actually slower than typing full words most of the time because of keystroke muscle memory. Sure, it can make a screenful of code 'look' uglier but in th

I see. In that case, why not just put the exercises online?

I think it's a great idea. I would rather a set of tutorials though. I don't want to email and waste somebody's time if I'm not able to commit to anything.

I wrote something similar- first I did a hill climbing implementation and then a genetic one. The genetic algorithm worked way better: https://github.com/darkFunction/PolygonPainter

I don't like the idea having long-running branches and especially TODO comments in code before a review. I would argue that it is better to discuss large architectural changes as a team, and split the task into smaller, more manageable

To paraphrase: - I want to make money selling anything no matter how meaningless, animal silicon bracelets will do, I really don't care. - Get a cheap supplier in China and pay a broke student to redesign the box. - Order thousands of

Do you have a Github link? Or can you post back here when you're finished? I'd like to see the final result :)

I dislike puzzles too. I guess because you're just finding the creator's predefined path, and it often feels like a pointless task. Programming is coming up with original solutions of your own, so I don't see the two as wholl

I stumbled across a video on Youtube some time ago which demonstrates sword-and-shield tactics likely used by the vikings, backed up by well thought out and credible explanations. It's a fascinating watch and for me it really brought h

It's the distinction between producing and consuming. It's important these days to make a conscious effort to produce more and not slip into constant information consumption mode, which new technology seems to encourage.

Mushrooms can be extremely introspective, I would imagine this could easily lead people to re-evalute their life choices in a more permanent manner than normal.

I can relate to this somewhat. My grandmother always said I was lucky in life, and joked that if I walked up to a bus stop then three buses would turn up. I do consider myself to be observant to the point of distraction (I am also forgetful

The appeal is in infinite possibilities, sport and teamwork. Single player games don't appeal to me as an adult, the outcome is scripted and the characters are hollow for the most part. It's entirely passive and a film or book get

I have lived in London for six years. The tech scene is very vibrant, but I struggle with the 'big city' aspect. Strangers are generally ruder in public than elsewhere in the UK (not a reflection on them, more a side-effect of nob

Well it is. You can make branching as complex or as simple as you want. Where I work the developers are only ever exposed to the feature branch they are working on, which is even created automagically for each Jira ticket from the correct r
