I'm a full-stack developer working for a company building web applications for local government agencies. I've been working in small teams of two or three. So, I either take the solo frontend or backend roles. This doesn't help the team grow as individuals and explore interesting stuff together. I am looking to join bigger teams and solve bigger and better problems.

I paid money (I don't know how much, but will be close to 50-100 dollars) for Windows 8 when I bought my Dell Inspiron Special Edition because it had good hardware, but Dell didn't provide an option to get it without the OS. It was the only affordable laptop available with 1080p screen. After a week of many annoyances, I decided to delete all the Windows partitions. After installing Ubuntu using Legacy boot, I tried to install a pirated Windows, but couldn't because there it couldn't be installed on a GPT partition. Installing an OS used to be easy.

Talli is to mother as Amma is to the mama word from the article. Interestingly, 'mama' in Telugu is uncle.

I think they will have in-game purchases, like coins etc.

But, variables are not standard in CSS. I always perceived less variables as JavaScript variables.

Now, I need to figure out a way to make Vim treat hyphenated words as words for filetype=less.

I don't mind haveing color variables. When I need a new red, I define @projectRed or @redAlt. It is so much easier to remember red than some dangerColor.

Why will they choose hyphenated variables instead of camelCase?

Exactly. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. The languages you know are always better for doing stuff than the ones you don't know yet.

Are you talking about the Socratic method?

Two default styles are provided with moderncv. There are some good examples and instructions on this page - http://www.math.uic.edu/~hurder/math589/vita.html

Really cool stuff indeed. Thank you.

Python has "None".

The most common advice you will receive in my place, if this question is asked, is to become a teacher at a High School. Depending on where you are from, this may not be a bad choice.

A few days ago, all our Graph API calls used to return errors. The error wasn't very verbose. It was a JSON object saying "Something was wrong". After pulling our hairs for some time, we realized that they removed the trailing slashes from the URLs. They are back with both forms(with and without trailing slash) now. But, it really wasted a lot of time because the error wasn't clear and the code needed changes.

I once asked on #python why "?" is not allowed in names of identifiers. People responded by saying that Python prefered cleaner names. So, it was just an aesthetic preference.

I am constantly trying to improve my Python and JavaScript. I haven't programmed in C/C++ for a very long time. I think I will learn some Scheme by the time I finish reading SICP and some other texts. I am also learning Common Lisp when I am away from the Internet.

Fluency generally includes speech fluency. I haven't met a person who speaks in code. With all the abstraction, looping going around, it is difficult to speak in one of the programming languages.

I am fluent in Telugu(from Southern India), English and Hindi in that order. I want to learn Japanese and one of Deutsch and Italiano.

As you have mentioned Python, let met tell you that the Python community on SO is awesome. People generally upvote all the good/correct answers to a question. This will not only appreciate their good work, but also make them answer more questions. In recent days, the percentage of questions on HTML/CSS, jQuery has increased greatly. The questions related to general purpose programming languages tend to be more unique than HTML/CSS.

The icon for "Device Access" looks very similar to an apple. Does a square apple mean anything? :)

I came across http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_in_Japan when I was reading about Japan on Wikipedia. It led me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shame_society which says that the high suicide rate may be attributed to the societal structure. These societies set high standards for individuals and that may result in high performance from the society but, at the same time, may depress under-achievers to such an extent that people commit suicides.

StackOverflow is the right place for such questions and it has been asked already. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/132798/what-should-every-...

That is more like an introductory tutorial. The docs are here - https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference

The frequency at which MDN docs are linked in StackOverflow JavaScript answers shows that people are getting more familiar with them. PromoteJS took off recently and it has helped too.

"Becoming The Master" section seems to be missing some good texts like SICP, HTDP. They are freely available as well.

The first thing I noticed was "noobstories" being marked Advanced. It is probably because noobs are trying their best to get karma by submitting some advanced stories.

The web itself is a user manual. And the index/catalog is called a search engine.

Will small face icons or smilies be good alternatives for M and F?

It's even more insulting when they are used just to fill some Excel sheets and monitoring logs.

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D.Salinger because of the Holden Caulfield in me who couldn't tolerate all the phoniness around.

Also enjoyed The Man Who Knew Infinity by Robert Kanigel. After reading about Hardy in this book, I have read "A Mathematician's Apology" which was excellent too.
