Still Apple keeps shooting their foot with their software. I'd love to see an update to iOS and Mac OS that doesn't feel sluggish. They nailed hardware, software is sorely lacking.…

I'm happy that exists as an alternative for those who care about this. I (meat-eater) am done with leather alternatives for now. A while back, I bought the official leather-alterna…

That's based on relevance. Same goes for: Portuguese -> Brazil flag; Spanish -> Mexico flag; German -> Austria flag; Italian -> Switzerland flag ;)

Finally! The perfect language for my spaghetti code!

There's a bit of misunderstanding in your statement. Most of the money made by companies in payments systems comes from transaction fees, not from interest. When companies offer yo…

Most people I interact with in the US actually use SMS or iMessage, that's why I have hold this view. It might be a bit dated though.

They already have Facebook Pay on messenger, and WhatsApp is mostly unheard of. Maybe it doesn't make sense to launch it in the USA. WhatsApp is however overwhelmingly used in Braz…

Just to make sure, my "ninja trick" was meant in an ironic manner. In my opinion, it sucks JavaScript has two equality operators, and it's inexcusable for it to have two different …

> You'll have to show me one inventive and useful "ninja" trick revolving around the use of '==' Sure! For starters, you can write if (foo == null) { ... } Because `undefined` gets…

Mathematics require the exact type of abstract thinking machines suck at. Machines can execute things fast, learn things fast (provided we have well stablished rules), but than can…

As the one who implemented Airflow at my company, I understand how overwhelming it can be, with the DAGs, Operators, Hooks and other terminologies. This looks like a good enough mi…

`->` is a bad practice? I like to use it at the end of a long `%>%` pipe. Reading the whole thing feels a lot more natural.

I actually find R to have the elegant parts of List, with a more traditional language syntax. I frankly like a lot.

Pipenv solved the most annoying problem Python had before: inconvenient version isolation. Dependencies were installed globally by default, and virtualenv was too cumbersome to use…

I was delighted to find out Nintendo took the care to approach this issue the way they did. If I had children, I would definitely buy a Nintendo Switch for them because of their fo…

As much as I love Vim and R, I think the experience is pointless without embedded graphs. It would be perfect if it was possible to view a graph in a Vim split.

I particularly don't find the problem it solves appealing. The power of Node comes specifically from its everything async programming model, Javascript is just a detail. So what's …

learnxinyminutes.com solves your problem about how the language works, but doesn't give you problems to work with.

For me, a lot of things simply make more sense. For example, in Sublime, the system configuration files can be modified, but you shouldn't do that. Instead, you have to write on yo…

OCaml is a nice language and it surely has advantages. But don't treat that as a competitive advantage. All of the benefits mentioned can be easily found in other programming langu…

Oracle doing it's part and releasing updated versions of Java whereas Google is stuck in time. Is it really Oracle's fault?

Projects like this are really cool in terms of providing different tools for when you need to work with Excel. However, I don't see tools like this or for any other language being …
