As a veteran C++ developer, I actually quite enjoy Javascript. Once I understood that Prototypes are linked lists and that *this is a pointer that changes according to 2 simple rules, Javascript became quite easy. I mean they even give you

I had noticed everyone had the same typical serious programmer personality here. That's why I enjoy reddit a lot more because it's not like that 100% of the time.

How is it different than someone selling barely modified WordPress websites? I'm not into that line of work but obviously, many small businesses in America rely on selling custom open source software.

Everytime something like this comes out, I think the following : Wouldn't it be great if I could develop and debug this under Windows with VS and deploy my release with Linux. The network libraries are always Linux(and family) only.

If you haven't seen a Brendan presentation, they are quite enjoyable. Last time he was playing some zombie video game in the middle of his presentation. He insisted on not killing zombies with a shovel using instead deployable automati

Can you imagine if we could have had Lua in the browser from the start? So much time would have been saved. Now Javascript, with ES6, is good enough to rival Lua in features. This kills the intent to learn Lua because if you are going to le

His last video was 2 years ago. Maybe he has a new hobby! I looked at some of his pure math videos. Basic stuff but I thought he explained well. If you visit this HN post and you decide to investigate further, just bookmark his youtube chan

You are probably aware of this. But on Windows and Chrome, when I try to open a documentation page for "templates", it downloads a templates.gz file to my computer. It does this for 90% of the documentation pages. Very annoying, I

Remember that the computer chess AI is actually a snapshot of the intelligence of a human being. I don't see this distinction made enough. If you are struggling against a game, you are struggling against the one who made it.

I like the exam idea but it's not really the best way to test the skill of a person. You wouldn't hold an exam for the best painter or the best sculptor. I feel like computer programming (and related jobs) in general is similar.

Socket.io is wayyyyy more noob-friendly. If you send json over the wire, socket.io automatically converts it to a javascript object or array for you, ready to be used. The best feature however is that you can send emit any string as an even

School is absolutely fine for learning what you need. Better than doing it by yourself. The real problem is that it's A) Necessary for certain jobs B) Way too expensive. Making people decide to go autodidact

College degrees are similar to a car. The more it costs, the better you look. But you cannot buy a "used" college degree... Europe is even worse, they are getting master degrees to have an edge over other bachelor engineers and th

If you are someone that doesn't eat many vegetables or take vitamins, I can see why coffee would be recommended. It does contain a very high amount of flavanols antioxydants... I'm not a big fan of the caffeine however.

I actually like the HTML/CSS solution too. http://thomaspark.me/2015/01/pubcss-formatting-academic-publ... It's more difficult but I feel like there's a lot more potential.
