Vim is multi-platform, and there are GUIs for Vim, particularly GVim and Macvim, where you can use the mouse, and copy/paste, etc, just have to do it the Vim way. You gave up too early, Nano isn't even close; it's like compar

I've seen experienced programmers failing at learning Haskell for the same reason experienced programmers fail at learning Vim, the initial learning curve is very steep, and they don't see the value on climbing that wall. Now, if

Interesting title, too bad I've to click "next" fifteen times; lost interest; skip.

PHP can handle as well or better than Python and Ruby. The performance difference is not that important when choosing between these languages, because they are all slow anyway. If you compare PHP vs Java or Ruby vs NodeJS, then performance

The problem with PHP is its design, or lack of it to be precise. It's inconsistent and quite verbose. But it's made for the web, so it's very easy to deploy, and the workflow is straightforward, put file in a folder on a serv

It looks promising, I highly dislike writing PHP and this seems like it might ease the pain, but they could've gotten rid of the damn dollar sign in front of variables, how ugly is this? "return ($y) ==> { return $y + 1; }&quot

Yes, maybe, in the same way I would browse for random stuff on other places out of pure boredom, there are some interesting polls. But the site is too slow, it takes ~5sec to load, on my desktop, and the scrolling isn't smooth. Loading

They are loading like 20 jQuery libraries in the header. Nothing is minified. By looking at the JS code here http://assets.razerzone.com/eeimages/products/15348/js/templ... , it seems like they vomited jQ

Not sure those two cases are really interchangeable. It doesn't seem like a very good example. By introducing an object that way you're coupling your functions that work on pure data to an instance. Now to multiply two numbers you

TBH, it doesn't look too good. The syntax is all over the place, bad indentation, missing semicolons, a loop variable is leaking, it doesn't follow common conventions... But don't give up, keep improving your skills. Here&#x2

So what kind of object is a multiplication, or an addition? Monoid has "no real good real-world parallel" because it is not a real-world concept. -- "It has no related or relevant meaning outside of very, very specific contex

I completely agree. You're not losing me because I would've never clicked. If I want something, I go look for it myself. I don't understand why people try to make this a morality issue. You shove ads in my face, I block them,
