   Can you clarify what exactly is so impressive about this software? I read the article, and I don't see it.

   If you turn JS off, you'll still see a mole in the position which signifies your visited subset of tested-for addresses. If you inspect the code, each position has multiple anchor elements, the last of which has an onclick right now. A

   You imply that indentation isn't a part of Python's grammar...

   Python's grammar is context-sensitive until the lexer processes indentation. There are other programming languages whose grammar is context-free.

   I believe you have adopted your opinion of what should go into the first set of brackets of yours. An engineer is expected to allot too much time to math to turn out unfamiliar with it. I think we should spend less effort on practicing clea

   It's a teacher's job to motivate students and find ways to effectively communicate to them their knowledge. A "master" may not be able to or want to be a teacher. I would urge such persons to refrain from appearing to te

    XMPP and WebSockets are complementary, not mutually exclusive.

    I've heard this said numerous times, so I'm going to disagree on the record. I think syntax of a programming language is a very important characteristic. A language with a nice syntax is easier to learn, easier to read and underst

    Git's author felt the alternative (gratis) systems were lacking. Noms's author, on the contrary, praises Git but doesn't build on it. He chooses to implement the same technology himself, and from the docs it's not clear

    Pretty impressive work but seems like reinventing wheels. Why wasn't it built upon existing tech? I think the docs should enumerate the most important differences and use cases for which it should be a better fit.

    Did anyone invest the effort and time to figure out how secure and practical this is?

    I'm sorry but I don't see how this is an answer to my question.

    Ok, then why are we spending years learning "spelling"?

    So why are years of studying math insufficient for one to be "familiar" with it?

    Unfortunately, the free version of Foundation, the library that implements the features lacking in Swift's standard library is still dreadfully incomplete (eg. networking is unusable).

    You are not a role model (anymore, at least). Don't set up people for failure, or alternatively, an unhealthy lifestyle like yours. Whatever phisique requires steroids to achieve is literally too big and anyone who is not into bodybuil

    Are you saying that early C learners who do not place the asterisk near the type have an easier time understanding the same?

    Copyleft means that the derivative work should have been published under a compatible license (providing at least the same freedoms - in practice often the same license). The act of publishing does not automatically place the derivative w

    Why do you think they've stopped using NOSA? The page claims to show 253 projects and in the same time contains 239 occurrences of "NASA Open Source 3.0" which, for some reason, is the name of links to https://open

    It's not even free software! NASA Open Source Agreement license is not approved by the Free Software Foundation because its "original creation" clause bars derivatives combining third-party code. The fact that this non-copyle

    I always substantiate any of my one-liners. In this particular case see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11836930 . Few things are more deserving of "snarky" treatment. The other two (chronologically disordere

    I'm happy to see the 0.0.0 release - it means that I might just be using this some day. Few weeks ago, having not heard about the project for a while, I was afraid it had become vapourware.
