Better colleagues with better brains.
I'm not disappointed in Linus, how much bullshit and push back could you take before you snap and don't want to play ball any more? If you beat a dog, it stops coming over to you. I think I would have done the same as…
It does seem expensive when you've been exposed to free (or heavily discounted) prices your whole life. This is because the others still charge this much, except the difference in revenue is made up by selling your data…
> My first guess is that the fastest route I can provide is Java through the Oracle's Java Programmer II certification and creating an original Android app for Google Play store. Oh great, flooding the already low…
I don't. I let my brain do its own thing. If I forget something it's because I'm not using it much. If I forget something and need it again I search for it on the internet. It's beautifully simple and requires zero…
I agree. OP, when you stop saying things like "PHP (yuck)" and start to appreciate each language for the one (or more) things it got right, you'll be well on the way to taking your coding skills to expert.
I might be being a bit "old hat", but I thought a programming language was one that you had to to compile (such as C) whereas a scripting language was one that was interperated (such as Python). I could be wrong but…
You misunderstood me. I agree that scripting and programming have nothing to do with dynamic types. > It's technically scripting, not programming, but can you imagine if Bash files were type hinted? I was clarifying…
Dynamic types weren't a mistake, but they were overused IMO. It's technically scripting, not programming, but can you imagine if Bash files were type hinted? For small scripts, solo projects or quick fixes, dynamic…
Very true, especially as type hinting for properties looks to be coming in PHP 7.4! https://wiki.php.net/rfc/typed_properties_v2
I wonder if you could use this surgery combined with a specialised prosthetic arm to create movable yet simple replacement hands. Imagine a prosthetic arm with a hollow body and a hand that can open and close in a…
You've clearly made your mind up! I won't be continuing this conversation either...
> That kind of work was very poor methodologically and its results are best explained as the Clever Hans effect I think you might be overreaching here! Roger Fouts was (and still is) an expert and I fear you may just be…
I read this book not long ago: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Next-Kin-Conversations-Chimpanzees-... And in it the author (who spent decades working with and teaching chimps) concludes that chimps have the intelligence to…
