I would find this article hilarious if I weren't horrified that people may take it seriously. In the 50s, people could identify Buckminster Fuller, Saul Bellow, or Jackson Pollock. Many educated people now could…
Your analogy conflates the medium and the message.
Seriously? Why the double standard? Seems cynical.
It is a thoughtful gesture and proper etiquette.
My process: keep a bug journal. If I hit the same bug I hit three months ago and go through the same research to fix it, then I know I am not progressing. Ideally through this process I will learn what it is that I…
If you are worried about injury in a theoretical sense (by that, I mean you haven't noticed particular discomfort with your typing style), it is probably better to focus on exercising your hands (and body) than to…
I would encourage anyone who hasn't read The Second Machine Age to check out the discussion of this topic. It is true, as you say, that a relatively poor person and a billionaire can both have the same iPhone. The…
Which coincides with a large increase in bankruptcies due to the "two-income trap."
I love that he calls <%%> "tie fighters."
>Well, 2006 was a -long- time ago, and Ruby and Ruby on Rails have come a long way. Right. I recently listened to a lot of the archive of the StackOverflow podcast. Joel & Jeff periodically discuss Rails, and Joel…
Right. I think we are actually making similar points. What I was trying to say in my example of the C code compilation is that it doesn't really tell you what code is, but rather this is what it's like to write code, or…
I think WIC is great--very enjoyable--and agree with this article that its presentation is basically a work of art, but it fails to explain "this is what code is," especially for the layperson. Before reading this…
I have recently started playing around with Ember and trying to get more serious with Vim by using it for this project. I found this page from Joyent to be an awesome resource for setting up Vim with Node:…

I would highly recommend the book 1089 and All That. It won't teach you much math, but it is an excellent book to read while getting started. Measurement is also a good book that starts from scratch.
Another way is to just use subtraction: x = x + y y = x - y x = x - y I originally learned about this while preparing for some interviews. The funny thing, I find, is that in Python you can simply do this: x, y = 5, 10…
Not to your main point, but the circuit simulation reminds me of Silon by SLaks: http://silon.slaks.net/ Edit: Also, as a late-bloomer and self-taught (self-teaching) programmer, I am on the other side of the paradigm…
I think the OP's salary adjusted from the cost of living in Nashville to Boston would be roughly $115k.
Do you really want to know or are you just asking because you don't believe him?
Thanks for explaining. After I posted I read the methods and that became clear, but the explanation of confounding is definitely helpful. Willett says in his book, "When the first reports appeared linking moderate…
This is not an area where I have much more than a passing interest, so much of this is over my head, so to speak. I was first introduced to the idea of healthy moderate drinking in Walter Willett's Eat, Drink, and Be…

Personally I found MIT Ocw's Intro to Programming in Python to be awesome. That is a complete course, which may be more than you are looking for. But the problem sets were really fun. I did the 2008 class but there is…

Regarding a couple of your points: Point 1. You might want to take a look and see if Resharper is to blame. I ultimately got rid of Resharper. I found that most of the features I used were already in Visual Studio (e.g.…
