a lot of good points but i feel like one of the biggest i've learned is missing... leaning toward functional techniques has probably had the biggest impact on my productivity in the last 10 years. some of the highest cognitive load in

thats like the entire jamband scene which been around since the 60s... the grateful dead, phish, kind gizzard and the lizard wizard... one could also mention the electronic scene in there. aphex twin released ventolin in 1995 which was the

i've worn my 13oz raw denim everyday for 2 years and they still look new and are incredibly soft. the only tares are along the cuff where i folded them and where my buckle corner rubs against the jeans. conversely most levis or simila

just let it go and move on... don't let the negative energy eat you up, it's just not worth it. i was screwed out of over 6 months of pay north of $50k. i wasn't keep tabs on the payments and i wasn't keeping detailed r

to prove you are elite, what do these mean: f00, BAR, SLOW, ABS, NB, TF, SLM ;P

most functional techniques wrap walking a loop into a few functions, like fold. writing loop constructs can be error prone. one is much less liable to make a mistake passing in an array into a function and have it processed using another

the difference is using tools vs building your own tools when you need to. the idea of these algorithms is not to memorize them but to understand how they are build and what goals they are trying to accomplish. understanding of the basic

seems weird to me that one would want to do any of these things inside vim... though it should be possible with the right plugins... but why? just use a window manager like screen or tmux to multi-task.

by papaver 3y ago
would definitely agree. i find tmux + vim does almost everything i need. granted i don't try to script anything myself. generally there are command line tools or vim plugins that do most i want. adding to much gravy to vim also jus

if you enjoy functional programming and are looking for a utility library, ramda has been a joy. very very well thought out. being able to compose functions together and treat data as a stream of information being transformed is incredibl

let them cheat. every assignment let them know that in the end they are only hurting themselves. the ones that want to learn, won't cheat. simple as that. and that ones that cheat and leverage it, great. hope that works out in the

yes, hiccup. small stuff is fine but when working with real apps and 100s of lines of html that make up pages... no thanks.

absolutely love clojure and all that it's taught me. i even ported many of the core functions to python so i could continue using them. but not a fan at all of writing html in clojurescript. it's extremely ugly to look at vs raw

can't say i'm a fan of the decorator to implement functional concepts. jut feels dirty. type hints in python are just as meh. feels like it's not taking advantage of pythons duck typing. a version of try and either, with a

i've wondered the same thing about the overhead. the argument given to me by some friends in non-profits is that raising money is an art and they have to compete with profit companies for the same people. hence they offer high salari

totally agreed. the best way to learn vim is slowly. teach your self one thing a day and use it all day. if you keep using it great, if not move on to the next thing. otherwise you get brain overload and someone is trying to teach you h

wow thats the biggest cop out i've ever heard. quality 100% matters, if not even more. shipping crap code still makes it crap and it will come to bite you in the end. libfreetype is an example of a great library, clean and well docum

can't say i'm a fan... i found the best way to learn to use vim is to force yourself to use it in an everyday environment. that means at work, where you need to get stuff done. and it will suck and hurt but it works. jump in th

i think the only unfortunate thing about this story is the lack of experiencing life on old pcs. the kiddo has definitely mastered video games and learned a whole bunch doing it but it's too bad he didn't have that same experienc

i would say this is the epitome of followers vs leaders... a significant portion of devs are introverted, and don't have a life outside work, hence being in a social setting like the office is how they make friends and communicate with

completely disagree... why using a throwaway account? if you are going to dis someone, at least stand up and don't hide. most all companies ignore emails upon rejection (at least in my exp), don't take it personally. my experienc

was a little disappointed with these guys. spent sometime doing their simple challenge and cleaned up the code to look nice only to get stubbed with no reply. thanks guys.
