Spacemacs[0] with its F# layer enabled is also painless to set up, if that's more your cup of tea: http://blog.nikosbaxevanis.com/2015/04/25/fsharp-on-emacs-wi... [0] http://spacem…

> [static typing] feels like it's in the way between components and results in some boilerplate, verbosity, and overly tight coupling Just curious, is this with regards to Elm / ML…

I haven't directly compared them to atom recently, but I've found these emacs themes to be pretty comparable: https://github.com/jonathanchu/atom-one-dark-theme https://github.com/…

The F# support is what got me to try vscode at all. Before that, I was skeptical about all js-based editors (being an emacs guy), but I was pleasantly surprised at how well this vs…

I bought a kobo ereader over a kindle not too long ago, precisely because it supported this font. I tend to prefer Comic Sans[0] over it a bit though, and use Pointfree[1] on all m…

I was responding to the parent who said: I wish there were (more?) people who feel about software like Steve Wozniak feels about hardware. Because it is an art, a pursuit of perfec…

Check out the guys over at 8th light: http://blog.8thlight.com/ Uncle Bob in particular (the author of Clean Code[0], The Clean Coder[1], and the Clean Coders videos[2]) is a lot l…

Dart only looks like java (this was a deliberate design choice to increase familiarity and ease learning/adoption), but it works a lot more like ruby and go.

I've been wondering, has there been any research directly comparing the effects of tDCS with modafinil and/or any other nootropics like piracetam?

Agreed. Up until recently, I too used to prefer working with raw HTML... then I started working on a couple large apps, tried polymer/angular, and ended up gaining a new-found appr…

This has already been added to Lollipop: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/exclusive-android-l-lo...

> I think I'd miss patterns like `if (arr.length) { ... }` At least for this particular example, dart supports an 'isNotEmpty' property on all iterables[0], so it'd just be this: i…

Been using optional typing for almost a year now with Dart, and it's pretty awesome. Really hoping this comes to python!

Maybe I'm not getting something, but all this Flux stuff reminds me a lot of DDD+CQRS (domain driven design w/ command query response segregation), to the point where it seems like…

Don't think I've had the pleasure of actually meeting any of those types in real life. It is a joke after all of course, but they do seem more like different 'hats' that most progr…

Yeah, using 'summon' works, it just kind of slips our minds that it exists when we're thinking/talking about the code, but that's likely just a familiarity issue. Mostly it's just …

Have been using this to pair-program on a project recently. It's probably the best collaborative coding solution out there at the moment, but it still has some issues. Most notably…

Then Lion came along and slowed things down to a crawl. Definitely the slowest OSX release I've had on my old macbook (circa '08). I eventually downgraded back to snow leopard unti…

I'm not terribly experienced with React, but from briefly using it, I definitely prefer polymer's simple vanilla html+js declarative data-binding approach over react's JSX + elemen…

Which can be (and was) remedied by a simple reply to correct that one particular part. Indiscriminately pedantic downvoting on the other hand, just kills the potential for any frui…

Not to mention it's just a breath of fresh air design-wise (when executed well), unlike the massive sea of indistinguishably homogenous 'light-themed' sites... EDIT: I can't believ…
