Eh, what's wrong with Rosetta Code? A metric ton of examples in a metric ton of languages.

What's better about this one?


I wouldn't mind finding out who created and posted the videos..


How is this news?

An app changed their icon..


If your product can be built entirely by "t-shaped" people, it's not a complex product.

The thing about experts is that they're experts, an expert is INCREDIBLY good at one particular thing.

The idea of "t-shaped" came about as management didn't want to pay for "full-stack" people.

You know, people who are very knowledgeable in the entire software stack your product is built in (But are also experts on one particular thing)

Today it's a SCRUM sales pitch, that you can do more (development) with less (people) and thus save money.

What you're really doing is overloading the people you have, and usually expecting them to all perform at the expert level.

"Bob can do this in 2 days, why do you need 7?"

Almost no project has no "crunch time", and crunch time means you need to fly as fast as possible, you can only do that when everyone is assigned work within their area of expertise.

If you need experts, get experts, don't get fooled by the "Agile" sales people.

Remember, the agile manifesto is only a few lines of text, anyone selling you courses and books are doing just that, selling you stuff.


Sounds like a great project for you to learn a low level language, and some UX and GUI design at the same time.

Game development is done in several languages and frameworks, so it's not a big deal what language you go with as long as you learn to write good code and document it well.

Every tool, language, and framework has downsides and quirks, literally every single one.

Over your career you'll use dozens of languages and tools, if not more.

Stop fretting and start doing :)


Super clickbaity...

The dude had been prohibited from owning a gun after domestic abuse against his girlfriend.

He tried to buy one anyway and failed a background check.

He bought gun parts and a 3D printer.

Police heard him firing in the woods, when told to put the gun down he told them he was CIA.

Officers inspected McGinnis' backpack and discovered a hit list titled "9/11/2001 list of American Terrorists" that included the names of both Democratic and Republican federal lawmakers.

That's why he was jailed. Not just because he had "a 3d printed gun".


Before I click that link, what does it solve?

What makes it different, better, than other admin template packs?


* Solve problems

* Afterward, reflect on what went well and what didn't

* Write down what you should have done differently

* Solve more problems, keep those notes handy

* Repeat

Sorry, not based on CS/Math puzzles, but real-world software development and problem solving.


I made myself one of these a while back, but not as sleek looking.

Nicely done :)


So many duplicated posts about this..


I haven't seen one that got significant attention on HN yet, which is the standard we apply for dupes (https://hackernews.hn/newsfaq.html). Did we miss it?


I've seen at least 4 or 5 posts about the VFEMail thing just today so I dinged this one when I saw it.

No idea what's considered significant.


Significant is just a question of whether it got many points and/or comments.
