I would find this article hilarious if I weren't horrified that people may take it seriously. In the 50s, people could identify Buckminster Fuller, Saul Bellow, or Jackson Pollock.…

Your analogy conflates the medium and the message.

Seriously? Why the double standard? Seems cynical.

It is a thoughtful gesture and proper etiquette.

It sounds like you discussed this with her already (when you said "she's too"). If so, you're having an emotional affair. In either case, you need to stop immediately. It's very di…

My process: keep a bug journal. If I hit the same bug I hit three months ago and go through the same research to fix it, then I know I am not progressing. Ideally through this proc…

If you are worried about injury in a theoretical sense (by that, I mean you haven't noticed particular discomfort with your typing style), it is probably better to focus on exercis…

I haven't worked through it but the approach to Learn You a Haskell seems fun: http://learnyouahaskell.com/

I would highly recommend the book 1089 and All That . It won't teach you much math, but it is an excellent book to read while getting started. Measurement is also a good book that …

Another way is to just use subtraction: x = x + y y = x - y x = x - y I originally learned about this while preparing for some interviews. The funny thing, I find, is that in Pytho…

Not to your main point, but the circuit simulation reminds me of Silon by SLaks: http://silon.slaks.net/ Edit: Also, as a late-bloomer and self-taught (self-teaching) programmer, I…
