   I have to agree. Emacs w/ Evil is a nice solution and gets almost there, but there are enough edge cases that interfere with the elegance of pure Vim. Everytime you install a new emacs plugin, you have to consider that it will use Emac

   My IKEA standing desk died after only one year, the crank jammed in the weirdest way and it cannot rise anymore.

   They explicitly say in the article that it does not involve ray racing, of which ray marching is a subset.

   I wonder why TechCrunch never seems to work on mobile. Every single time, every single article. “An error occurred with this part of the page, sorry for the inconvenience.”

   Ha, I was thinking, a victim of the ancient aliens series on TV. We do have a lot to think about in the past and it seems to be filtered through a very narrow modern view.

    I certainly never had that opinion. I would consider for example the people of ancient Greece to be an advanced civilization, despite the relative lack of what we consider to be modern technology. And you can go back much further than ancie

    You are exactly correct, the author has a misguided perspective. Inheritance is rarely considered these days to be the hallmark feature about OO. Composition and encapsulation far exceed inheritance in importance in nearly any software deve

    Indeed, functional programming can lead to spaghetti code just as easily as any other paradigm. I’m really growing weary of all these posts around the Internet claiming that some particular style of development is better than another, it’s

    Interesting that Steve Jobs had pretty much the opposite approach to group collaboration and pressure, yet got good results from them as well. At the expense of an often very miserable working environment.

    PayPal is a thorn in our world. They are atrocious and I wish they'd die. The extraordinary fees they charge for currency conversion, in the form of very unfair rates, should alone be worthy of their demise, and should be criminal.

    All of your points make great sense in theory, but in practice it rarely works out so smoothly. > If it's an abstract data type, it doesn't have to be understood by the caller, it just has to be passed to another "lego bri

    I deleted my Facebook account several months ago, I did not merely deactivate it, I did a full deletion. Then about one month ago I got a notification for a Facebook group. I wonder how that works? Either Facebook groups can somehow contact

    I'm sorry but this is a lot of shallow hyperbole. It doesn't matter if your functions are pure if they return a unique data type for your API or library that is not understood easily by the caller. So the solution is to make that

    I think this is a rather simplified and naïve analysis. Getting functional programs and functional APIs to compose well with each other is just as much a challenge as in other language paradigms. Just because the logic is organized as funct

    > macOS will support native iOS apps and macOS apps side-by-side on these new machines in the future. I wonder what that means. There's more to the chip -- what about the core APIs for UI? Does that mean CocoaTouch and UIKit will ru

    It’s because there’s a very big difference between the state of the JavaScript ecosystem and the ecosystem for nearly any other language you can mention. And for a very large percentage of the development community worldwide, the JavaScript

    Well, I guess you are being that guy :) but Bach certainly went much further than nearly any composer in advancing the state of music harmony that allowed the explosion of the classical and romantic areas. Composers from Chopin to Mahler ci
