It really depends on the book for me. Technical topics I already know pretty well, I find easy to commit new methods to memory when I come across them. Nontechnical, I can remember a good deal of fiction, but factual things fall off prett

It performs perfectly fine on my machine, but I have not done any comprehensive testing. I was actually quite surprised when I first got everything working and was streaming input to the server, state to the client, and rendering the latte

I, too, really love Elm, and have worked on some tooling for getting it running on the server. (Self promotion ahead). I wrote an NPM module for compiling and loading Elm[1], and also put together a more comprehensive project for scaffold

Aside from the things others have mentioned, which are all really good, there are some really good books on the subject. Jose Valim's Crafting Rails Applications[1] is a wonderful resource, since it deliberately sets out to peel back t

It isn't always easy when something does seem to be common knoweldge, but you are correct that people try to be more understanding. I have adopted the attitude from this XKCD comic. https://xkcd.com/1053/

I think this very much oversimplifies the costs. From a hardware standpoint this is probably mostly correct, but the problem is the sheer amount of research and talent behind it is not remotely inexpensive. I recall Carmack saying, about

I highly recommend The AWK Programming Language by Aho, Kernighan and Weinberger[1][2]. It has a very similar style to The C Programming Language, also co-written by Kernighan. Even as a general book on programming, it is pretty good in t

The beginning of your story reminded me of the wonderful commencement speech given by David Foster Wallace at Kenyon College in 2005 [1]. It is very easy to well up with rage, but it is significantly more difficult to understand the contex

I did not find this list particularly useful. It is a nice attempt, but the way it categorizes libraries can be deceptive. I do not think anyone would consider bower and npm to be comparable projects, except in the most abstract sense. T

Your book a week comment reminded me of the wonderful What If on XKCD about the infeasibility of reading every English book ever written. https://what-if.xkcd.com/76/

This looks like a solid project. I want to mention mincer[1], which I have used in the past for compiling assets, and it has been an entirely painless process. Definitely take a look at it as an alternative, which has been around longer a

While I agree with making code editable in single lines as much as possible, I think this is a particularly bad example. I do prefer the comma first style for arrays and objects, but not for variable declarations. I used to use this exact

It is not about the running of the command - I read the installation script, and it looks fine. It is about my desire to work on a node application in what I consider to be a standard way. I want to be able to treat my entire application a

I want to like meteor. It sounds like the installation script, aside from handling the MongoDB and node setup, could be treated like a typical node package. Based on the fact that meteor has no package.json, seemingly none of those core pa

After seeing the first, extremely slick demo of meteor, I was, as I believe a lot of people were, extremely excited to see where the project would go. Then came the funding, and some twelve or sixteen months of development, and I finally d

I am working on average size web applications, which simplifies things greatly, but I do not think your characterization of kernel development is correct. The official kernel mirror on github[1] does not have any of these extraneous branche
