Why does nobody ever mention HTML Dog? I learned all the basics the right way reading from it, the ideas behind them, and what to avoid. It's a seriously great website (and formerly a book, I think? I was a penniless…
Academia reaches out to the common programmer and student all the time; they write books. Academic research papers are aimed at other researchers, i.e. people who are up to speed with the concepts and terminology, if…
> You're living in a HN bubble if you seriously think no new projects are being created in PHP, or if you think there are no valid use cases for PHP in modern applications. I asked for reasons. You just told me it…
> The allegation that PHP is being used by people who don't know anything else is just subjective and wrong, and ultimately nothing but flamebait. That wasn't my allegation, though it's a good point you bring; PHP is…
What would be valid choices for using PHP today if not for dealing with legacy code bases? It's the only thing you know? You don't have money to pay programmers for other languages? (PHP devs are commonly the cheapest)
The whole story is suspect. Why now? If the US government were to use this kind of intel to address issues as small as this, and this is at the level of shop lifting, wouldn't such incidents have made it to…
I think the idea was that people should feel outrage because they found out about this kiddy, small-time, mockery of a fraud by reading some random civilian's chat logs.
What makes you think the site is "serious" now? She just doesn't know what Hacker News is, and can't be blamed for that. She just knows that some self-proclaimed "hackers" brought her site down with lots of traffic. The…
They could be regularly piping filtered information to serve the US's Government's interests, as part of project they know by another name but happens to have the code name "PRISM". There; no "back door", no "direct…
I'm sorry, but is this what passes for academic typesetting nowadays? I felt as if I were sitting in some farcical business presentation as my eyes scanned this typographical travesty! This thing is an affront to the…
I just use Elpa, cross my fingers, and try not to tweak or memorize too many things. I am rather happy like that.
Because it's been years in the works, it's finally about ready, and Racket only now is in everyone's mouths? Guile is now also able to run other languages as well, like Javascript, or at least so their maintainers…
So much hand-waving! They are "better" in that they are, in fact, more constrained; only when the error case arises will there be any accessible error value; otherwise, the actual expected value will be found. Since go…
And yet you keep handing out these passive-aggressive put downs to everyone left and right. Maybe you should just not invoke the blog versions of scientific results into everyday conversation, much less to denigrate…
Ergo, Javascript.
None. It's something which is, ironically, used by people who overestimate their own understanding of pop-psychology to put down others. The fact that it was used in earnest without presenting any justification just…
