Maybe the title is a bit misleading because "instead of applying for jobs" implies to me at least that it's a job-finding site.

Not trying to be pessimistic here, but I feel like the author is being a bit loaded with the marketing text. There's many pieces of TUI software that do this exact same thing with "color and clarity" and the same fuzzy searc

I am a die-hard advocate of the Phalcon approach to this problem, which is to deliver the framework as a PHP extension. It requires slightly more admin experience to get it setup, but boy is it fast!

It would have been more honest to add (in Rust) to the title.

I know a couple of people that went out of their way to have the yen backslash on their PC. It certainly is charming in a way. Kind of like how email addresses used to be written like: eddie!STONY-BROOK.SCRC.Symbolics.COM!CStacy@EDDIE.MIT.E

I share some similar sentiments with the author and I developed a personal note-taking system which has automatic linking based on the collocational word. You can think of it as sort of like an inverted mind mapping software. link: https:&

> what is more boring than Rails? modern PHP? I would contend the OP is still a hipster, but at least he's pointing out that fashionable programming is really toxic for the industry as a whole. Boring technology is good because the

>militant commitment to stupidity Indeed, I would say that even now the extant textboard and irc users are still attempting to push the boundaries of sophisticated stupidity and they have become experts at it.

In the world of real advancements in terminal development, Plan 9 had come up with Blit and drawterm in the 90's -- so why haven't we made it back to there yet? the answer mostly lies in the lack of simple drawing primitives in X,

You're right, they both worked on ZMQ together, however Sustrik disagreed with some of the design decisions and decided to make nanomsg. Hintjens and co have worked on code generation tools since the mid-90's. Read the zproto gith

Wow, that's a very insensitive title.

My thoughts: First of all, the third column here is highly editorialised. If you have a look at anything related to languages, he always lists Erlang, Oz, Prolog -- I wonder why? I won't go into a diatribe on this-or-that nonsense but

Surprised to see no mention of Acme here. As much as I love keyboard-based tools, I must begrudgingly admit that from a scientific standpoint it is much quicker to use a pointing device because there is no recall associated with the action,

Okay, it's provable... what value do really get out of it? isn't the whole reason why we still use C because it gets so close to resolving (or at least acknowledging) hardware or platform-level implementation problems? we can cont

I'm surprised the article didn't mention bunnyhopping or other kinds of physics exploitation-based gameplay. It could also have talked about games like Rocket League which rely on completely impossible physics to make a fun game.

I think there are three problems here: first is that the new generation of developers that Mozilla is trying to attract are not used to systems which do not persistently store data in an API-accessible database backend. Second that there is

Well if you're really going to go down that route, you should remember that the "unix philosophy" favours plain text as the data-passing mechanism. JSON itself does not have rules for how things like malformed UTF8 decoding s

This whole exercise seems more damaging than constructive, and I don't really like the author's smug tone, as if he deserves praise.

This style is very similar to one which is used by expert C programmers, it seems that most people that write like this have had experience writing parsers and compilers too. It's not their fault that most people don't just think
