Just read it like a novel. Ignore the exercises. What struck me that it took 8 or 9 chapters until they even presented a loop, and it was none the worse for doing that. Actually helped my imperative lizard brain evolve. Yes, its a book that

Funny, I arrived at this "all software is.." piece last week. Hypothesis: All of software *is* about change management ---- It dawned on me that all the software design efforts - Design patterns, programming styles, management pra

At one point I was so used to Notational Velocity that I needed it on Windows and didnt want to adopt other available solutions. So I built a barebones clone in Java: https://github.com/vinodkd/jNV .

The second para of the article addresses this, as does the summary at the bottom. Maybe read the article and respond if your concerns about this particular article are still valid? Maybe it applies to the general "X is a code smell&quo

Agree. And after years of using it, I discovered osage, and after a few years more, gvpr. It gives and it gives. And yes, I'm forever fiddling with it to make it look the way i want it to, but in my heart I know the layout algorithms n

Not sure I agree. I didnt know about gitjournal until vHanda's post, but immediately saw how it could be a replacement for my use of Google Keep (which I use when I'm on the go vs at my laptop). And there was already an exporter f

didnt mean it as a joke. I did not have another label for my pickiness as you call it. i'm still learning these terms via my child who has been diagnosed, but the thing that bothered me is that it was misaligned. i have similar issues

minor nit about your website: the top menu's css might need adjusting. On my laptop (dell xps) the last letter of each word shows up in the next line, like so: Abou FAQ t s Triggered my (minor) OCD! Edit: added minor

Does tcl qualify as an ur-language? No reserved words, words compose into commands, commands into scripts. ideas like upvar and uplevel.

Advance apologies for coming across strong, but for an article advocating clarity, it is utterly devoid of an examples of how to actually achieve it. If your title starts with "How to..." you should SHOW, not TELL, and the article

Thanks for responding. Actually, I dont think Pikchr needs to have more features. "Toil" should tell people that they should use a different tool, IMO, so that Pikchr is used for the intended purpose - small diagrams to go with Ma

I agree, and you can see this even with "simple" diagrams. For example, the Pikchr examples page[1] has a SQLite architecture diagram, and if you click through to the source (like the idea of "click to see source" btw),
