That was the intention of that paragraph.

It's a mix of what you just said, and many more. But besides that, I work there because I actually believe that the company still does a lot of good. And from what I can tell, most…

What's wrong with existing browser extensions like Vimperator or Vimium?

In order to learn something, one does not just invest time, but energy. It's way easier to play than to practice deliberately.

This is just a very catchy phrase.

The percentage of immigrants living in a country is a result of a long term process. I believe that what we are discussing right now is the 'refugee' crisis.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that Switzerland is unfriendly. I'm saying that it's less friendly than the countries mentioned in the comment. That's because I believe they are t…

And yet Switzerland is much less immigration friendly than all the countries you've mentioned.

C++ has lots of issues, most of them due to backward compatibility and versatility. Also, the language is very complex and enormously hard to master. I've used C++ for quite a whil…

The union-find data structure (the idea is so simple and a sophisticated analysis yields a really low upper bound). RMQ with linear preprocessing and constant time queries (which i…

The only thing that comes to my mind might be "Discrete Mathematics" by Ross, Wright. This is quite a heavy book and you don't need to go through all of it, but there are some chap…

When I started learning low level programming, I've studied C and x86 assembly simultaneously. This gave me a somewhat broader perspective. From my experience with learning Rust, i…

Actually, "cloning" doesn't sound easy at all. :)

I think that this is interesting question. It has been already pointed out, that cooking/eating at home is not just a way to provide fuel for your body. There are many other reason…

I have read Cal's Newport new book about Deep Work ( http://calnewport.com/books/deep-work/ ) and have been trying to adapt some of the strategies from it. So far I see positive re…

I suggest you don't start reading about writing compilers if you know only C-derivatives. As for the choice of a functional language for a beginner, I think you just should pick wh…

StyleBot for Chrome to adjust the width.
