    The fun part is the conference he started this in (Geekcon) didn't have internet this year. Very appropriate :)

    Yes, that is exactly what I do too. When I just started I treated code reviews as a way to show my knowledge and feel superior, which reflected the environment I was in. Once I mov…

    TBH, early adopters have no problem giving their email for these kind of stuff. Even weirder is your conclusion that if you give someone your email he can spam your contacts, which…

    I agree with everything, but there is that small point that if you don't want to be associated with people you worked with, it does fall into the "shady" category, at least somewha…

    Some people use Python as JS or PHP, why not also make it behave like that? In reality, even if this is satire (which I believe it is) I'm sure if enough people will know about it,…

    Some places are more cunning. I've read reports of countries looking for stamps from the Taba border pass (a border between Israel and Egypt) and not letting someone in base on tha…

    Jason Cohen's blog is at asmartbear.com and I love it - I missed there is no "a" in the domain of the op and now I feel tricked.

    It did pretty well with the first five Hebrew letters. Pretty well as in all but one was found in the top 10 of results.

    What a strange comment. Why is Angular the greatest framework yet? Why is Webstorm the greatest web IDE? I'm against worshiping tools...

    First of all I agree with gf - the site does a horrendous job in explaining what it is. Add screenshot, actual content. People aren't looking for "simple", "familiar", etc. We're l…

    Hi taganwald, I'm the one who outright called you a hypocrite. I hope you don't take it personally, that's just what I feel reading this. I'm a programmer because that's what I lik…

    It's funny that you mention Babylon - I've talked to one of the devs who was in the core of developing their "toolbar" and it is essentially malware which hooks anything and everyt…

    I totally forgot about it. You are right, I might give some of the more hardcore ones after I'm done playing with this one. Thanks!

    This is awesome. I really want to play with some AI lib and all of the ones I tried have way too many problems compiling on Windows. pip install them fails too. I don't want to spe…

    I plsy way too many computer games, and I got stuck too. It is really non-trivial to design a self explaining game, and they definitely failed. Unfortunately. The idea itself is pr…
