It’s an expression of surprise or disbelief, in the same vein as “oh my goodness.” It’s a bit old-fashioned; nowadays you’ll mostly hear it in cartoons and the like, uttered by lit…

The Git book does a perfectly good job of this: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 I always recommended reading chapters 1-3 and skimming chapter 7 to people who are just getting start…

The author of the post is aware of this. They explicitly say that is not the point of the question.

“Nobody [does thing] anymore” is a common euphemism for “very few people [do thing] now, compared to in the past”. The author is correct about this with respect to cursive, at leas…

My favorite response to “How are you?” comes from a Russian former coworker: “Average. Worse than yesterday, better than tomorrow”.

Except it’s not like a flea market in the parking lot. It’s more like Walmart had a flea market, but mixed all of the items in with their own, inside of the store, and made it diff…

I liked the article, but, as a game developer who does not specialize in graphics, I really liked one of the comments: Joe Kilner - One extra issue with games is that you are outpu…

> So if you manage to keep tabs on the industry through your colleagues and you're excited about what you're working on at work, then the personal projects are much less important,…

1. There's no indication that account belongs to the Bill Nguyen in question. Nguyen in one of the most common surnames in the world, and Bill is an exceedingly common first name.

They're selling like gangbusters: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/aug/31/lego-frie...

The best part of the article is the response from Avalanche, the studio that developed the original game. Rather than try to shut the project down, they praised the authors and inv…

Did you even read the post? The author is hardly freaking out, never worries about passing classes, and never once claims that his lectures are boring. He's simply asking his fello…

Thanks, but you didn't really explain anything. In what specific ways does it fail to scale well?

Can you explain your reasoning? Isn't high scalability one of MongoDB's key features?

I'm with you. Accidents happen, but most can be prevented if you just treat your expensive device with care and respect. I find that people really don't like that advice, though!

Isn't that the kind of not-valuing-food mentality the article talks about? Your reheated vegetables are going to be overcooked and your fried-and-sauced Chinese will get soggy, but…

I was the youngest in a tiny family, and never had much exposure to children younger than myself. As such, I grew up not liking kids very much - I thought they were obnoxious, loud…

This is, to use a word I never use, delightful! Great concept, whimsical design, and wonderful execution. Well done! Now, if I could only stop flipping the pages and get back to wo…

Constructive criticism: After reading the description, I don't understand what this application does. I am not initmately familiar with indoor mapping/positioning or WiFiSLAM. The …

The OP's interactive panorama is extremely cool, but I prefer the original you linked here. With the color shift and distortion, the interactive one feels dreamy and imaginary. The…

It all depends on the person, and there's no way to tell without asking. If someone doesn't want to talk, it's quite easy to tell from their response to the question. If that's the…

That's a curious world view. People should be embarrassed by things you personally find disgusting, even if they're within accepted social norms? And you are amazed that people do …

That little program is what got me interested in programming as a kid. I played games nonstop on my (parents') Apple II, and loved it. But seeing those two lines of code produce "H…

Just to make sure that I understand what you mean here - are you saying that games have no value?

This ongoing "Learn to Code" discussion reminds me OWS. Ask ten different people what it stands for, and you'll get ten different answers. If you try and argue against any part of …
