As a veteran C++ developer, I actually quite enjoy Javascript. Once I understood that Prototypes are linked lists and that *this is a pointer that changes according to 2 simple rul…

His voice is so different!

I had noticed everyone had the same typical serious programmer personality here. That's why I enjoy reddit a lot more because it's not like that 100% of the time.

How is it different than someone selling barely modified WordPress websites? I'm not into that line of work but obviously, many small businesses in America rely on selling custom o…

I read this and immediately thought of this : Retires at 35, explores the world for 30 years Claims Social Security at 62. http://weknowmemes.com/2015/05/25-ways-the-baby-boomers-h…

Everytime something like this comes out, I think the following : Wouldn't it be great if I could develop and debug this under Windows with VS and deploy my release with Linux. The …

Chrome crashes and freezes all the time too.

If you haven't seen a Brendan presentation, they are quite enjoyable. Last time he was playing some zombie video game in the middle of his presentation. He insisted on not killing …

Can you imagine if we could have had Lua in the browser from the start? So much time would have been saved. Now Javascript, with ES6, is good enough to rival Lua in features. This …

His last video was 2 years ago. Maybe he has a new hobby! I looked at some of his pure math videos. Basic stuff but I thought he explained well. If you visit this HN post and you d…

You are probably aware of this. But on Windows and Chrome, when I try to open a documentation page for "templates", it downloads a templates.gz file to my computer. It does this fo…

I like the exam idea but it's not really the best way to test the skill of a person. You wouldn't hold an exam for the best painter or the best sculptor. I feel like computer progr…

What if I'm a skilled worker coming from France or Germany, with no education debts and I get the same job you have? How would you feel?

This... Boost will ruin your compile times. I'm addicted to instant compilation so I avoid template hell.

Socket.io is wayyyyy more noob-friendly. If you send json over the wire, socket.io automatically converts it to a javascript object or array for you, ready to be used. The best fea…

College degrees are similar to a car. The more it costs, the better you look. But you cannot buy a "used" college degree... Europe is even worse, they are getting master degrees to…

If you are someone that doesn't eat many vegetables or take vitamins, I can see why coffee would be recommended. It does contain a very high amount of flavanols antioxydants... I'm…
