Google does the same kind of software interviews as anywhere else. They aren't special. You code on a whiteboard and it's supposed to be compilable in C or Java. The process beyond…

But.. Socket.io is built in sooo realtime ... Right?

Probably could be considered a competitor. This offers socket.io built-in, but doesn't seem to have the reactive data binding templates like meteor. This looks to be a Ruby on Rail…

There's a whole spectrum of users, as well. Programmers can be Python users, wherein the python implementation takes complexity hits to simplify it for the user. It's all subjectiv…

Can't tell if trolling... every single icon has a different drop shadow.

Seems like a disadvantage to me. It's mostly just confusing and the only thing it affords is the ability to use :keywords as functions (:like so) which is just sugar for property a…

The work FOR us theme is present throughout. I'd guess it was intentional...

This has been my experience with recruiters but once you get past the wall of pleasantries and fake attitudes, they usually talk with more sense. Edit: Sibling comments are talking…

I think he's asking how it got so obfuscated in the first place. Seemingly, the spammers could just pilot a standard up to date client with a bot, rather than try and figure out th…

The whole aesthetic seems wrong. The perfect circles and even lines seriously clash with the naturally drawn clefs. In the example music, they adopt a new font for the time signatu…

I don't understand these questions: “Is optimization of speed premature while productivity languishes?”; “Are semantic elegance and lexical simplicity just means by which to furthe…

Its also a self fulfilling prophecy. When everyone colludes to start selling at the $200 mark, it will certainly burst.

Lexical scoping is a term to classify languages. The 'point' is to make it easier to understand how a language behaves. If you want to have var with the same name as something in a…

That article points out a design decision that the author disagrees with. It does not prove that CoffeeScript's scoping is broken.

Very good introduction to Lisp, as well.

Oh I see. Yes I was thinking of alpha-equivalence, sorry. Now I must ask, do you know any good papers/algos on that reduction? And how would you envision animating? It seems a bit …

Agreed, it is unwieldy. However, because of it, eta-reduction is not as important because equivalent terms look the same, and name collisions can't happen. It made it a bit simpler…

Right, thanks! Corrected.
