What's the typical workflow for this look like? That is, if you're making changes to the code live, and you're trying this and that in the REPL to fix things; once you get it working, how do you then get those changes…
What? No. It's quite easy for teachers to locate a school that's looking for them. The state teacher's union usually has a website listing jobs and everyone just uses that one single website.
Just curious: Why was mzscheme chosen to implement Arc rather than some other Scheme implementation?
Step 1: Around lunch time, in a very nonchalant way, stroll out to your car, set your watch/portable-alarm-clock/cell-phone-alarm-clock to wake you up near the end of your lunch break, tilt back the seat, and…
But wouldn't a large (and growing) population of frustrated young men serve to change this demographic trend? Or do you see a vicious cycle here?
Wrap a GUI around it and package the program as a single executable. I'd suggest $15. Asking for $20 seems like too much (to me), but I've been told that I have bad judgement in such matters. :) Also, I agree with…
And if there is other software that does what yours does, what is being charged for it?
I've having a particularly bad time right now (big and manifold responsibilities, not enough time) and only getting 3-5 hours / night on weeknights. This has been going on for months now (with some regular 7-8 hour…
Which do you prefer (and why), HtDP or SICP?
> As for developer availability - good luck to him finding good C programmers Are you saying it's difficult in general to find good C devs? Because it would seem that's the case for C++, but not for C.
Sure. Then you simply require hit-and-run commits to be well-commented and also include good docs. Just because it's not currently maintained does not mean it won't be maintained in the future.
> Enforcing different standards of quality control is unproductive ... Not only that, but it's poison for attracting new developers.
We've been living with Moore's law so long that young people seem to think it's similar to an actual law like gravity. Fact is, computing has benefitted from some core technologies (ex. lithography) that have lended…
Since, for the most part, "Perl 6" = Parrot + Rakudo [1], the big moment (IMO) will be when Rakudo hits 1.0. There should be a serious spike in interest at that point. Hopefully the Perl community will take advantage of…
Heh. Just using `aptitude install <foo>` I tend to forget how long building can sometimes take. You might try Fink. Seems like they're still active, but their last news update (on their homepage) is from…
Setting up and keeping up an LLC is a bit of a pain in the neck. Also working out how to pay yourself, keeping accounts separate, and so on takes extra time. One benefit of an LLC might be a somewhat more professional…
Yeah, I know some font rendering technology specifically draws dark-on-light-bkgnd differently from light-on-dark-bkgnd, though I can't recall where I've seen it, or the details ...
> but if you are hiring for the long term (1-2+ years), It's interesting to hear what people think of as "long-term".
Along similar lines, as I was reading along, I was saying to myself something like, `my %word_count; for (@words) { ++$word_count{$_} }`...
KISS. Smooth steel wheels on smooth steel tracks has extremely low rolling resistance, is inexpensive, and works great. Bonus: if the power goes out you gently coast for a while. :)
The answer is not faster charging, but rather, swapping out a depleted pack for a fully-charged one. Standardize on a form-factor for battery packs that mount on the underside of the vehicle, which can then be…
Would love to see sales numbers broken down by platform for a cross-platform game that's available for GNU/Linux.
A DVI port! And no VGA. Nice. Have only seen VGA on these types of small units 'til now. Will check this out.
