True | imphasing | null | > It's vastly slower than the MS .NET.
Actually, my benchmarks show Mono's CLR at almost the same speed of MS's. I've seen quite a few comparisons on MS vs. Mono performance, because I was evaluating Mono for my company's production use (end result: production mono deployments), and nowhere have I seen any kind of dramatic speed difference, except maybe in some specialized scenarios. Mono also has the edge on MS's CLR in some scenarios though, like the Mono.Simd stuff with some blazing fast SSE JIT code.
> It doesn't support a ton of features in .NET
Which features are you talking about it lacking? If you're talking about WPF.. well man you're on your own, not enough people care about that thing to make it worthwhile... Windows.Forms support isn't quite there, you're right in that respect, but I don't know many Mono users that would use Windows.Forms anyway. Mono implements all of the commonly used standard libs and then some, the coverage is pretty impressive if you ask me.

I'm European and no expert in English grammar, but the way I understand it is that badly written should be taken to mean that the manner in which it was written was bad—e.g. poor handwriting—whilst poorly written is understood to be what was written, the choice of syntax, grammar, and the rest, was bad.

> And the difference between those kids and the others is not how well they were raised, but a mixture of predispositions and unknown or uncontrollable environmental factors.
I'm sure there are some genetic predispositions, but after being a volunteer math teacher for some of the lower-end schools in Detroit and Northern Indiana for about 3 years, (professionally I'm a Computer Engineer) I honestly believe that all children are naturally curious. I might even go a step further and claim that curiosity is a defining trait of humanity. It's really a question of who or what feeds that curiosity. At a young age, your parents are your main influences. Usually you value what they value, and you can only get "food" that your parents can provide.
I think what people are forgetting are the other major influences in a teen's life - their peers. Once you become a teenager you begin to care more about your status among your peers (particularly among women). What your peers value will eventually be what you value. So, if you go to school with attractive women who really value intelligence, then 9 times out of 10 you will strive to be intelligent. If you go to a school where the women value guys who play sports, so will you. I mean, it depends on your friends and your peer group (not just school), but that's basically it. | null | 0 | 1316189820 | False | 0 | c2kc2uq | t3_khf6j | null | t1_c2kc2uq | t1_c2kacdu | null | 1427608110 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | donkey_lz | null | > Children learn VERY FAST, like ridiculously fast. The difference between prodigies that grow up and stay at a prodigy status and regular people is usually in the teen years, our learning ability slows down drastically in our teens onwards.
I'm not entirely sure this is true. I don't feel like I'm learning things much slower than I used to back then.
In my case, the difference was simply that at some point I became interested in many other things. Had I continued to study chemistry for many hours a day, I would have perhaps ended up a great chemist, but at some point of my (early) life I discovered that the world was full of incredibly interesting things.
I don't find them significantly harder to learn now -- there are just so many more things that I like to do, that I don't dedicate the same amount of time to a single aspect. Back in my first year of university, for instance, I used up my summer on calligraphy. Hardly useful -- I'm a poor calligraphist, of course, but it's relaxing and interesting.
Edit: I can actually come up with a real-life example of this. Back in my 3rd year of university I started working as a research assistant. It basically took me about seven months to publish my first paper, in a fairly relevant scientific journal, in a topic I was entirely unfamiliar with when I started working. I had most of the basics -- as in I knew my way around electromagnetism, was a competent coder and knew what a sparse matrix is; the paper was about a parallel model order reduction algorithm, it was fairly well received, and in my first day of work I had no idea what model order reduction even meant. To be fair, it's a very active topic and the main problem is finding people with enough interdisciplinary knowledge, so being able to work hard and having a bit of lateral thinking is enough; furthermore, my professors did a great job guiding me through the whole deal. But I still had to basically absorb three thick books and a shitload of prior work in the space of three or four months. | null | 0 | 1316189975 | True | 0 | c2kc3p9 | t3_khf6j | null | t1_c2kc3p9 | t1_c2kaero | null | 1427608120 | 7 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

FTR: Minifiers _do_ strip out unnecessary semicolons. If you minify and _then_ concatenate, you can still run into this issue. Because before you concat, those ending semicolons _are_ unnecessary, then they become necessary in the context of a build.

True | smcameron | null | I came up with a neat way of doing arbitrary timing with my MIDI drum sequencer Gneutronica
http://smcameron.github.com/gneutronica/
The video there doesn't really show the timing thing in action, but the jist of it is that you can divide the measures into arbitrary integer time intervals (4 separate independent sets of such intervals) and the "snap to grid" placement of notes aligns to these time intervals. By default, it's set up 4/4. (And of course you can turn off the "snap to grid" behavior entirely, if you want.)
Also the volume of each drum hit is set by the height of the note in the row for that instrument, and the rows expand as the mouse moves over them for fine control while not taking up much screen space to fit a lot of instruments on screen.
Feel free to borrow any ideas from that which you like.

True | Tinned_Tuna | null | I would argue that a CS course should not be aimed at turning out programmers, but people who are good at Computer Science, not too distant from a Mathematics degree.
It's very possible that a large portion of my grief with this kind of article is that my old CS department is becoming more and more like a Java School.
People no longer are getting degrees for the learning experience, or to help them do research. They're treating degrees like professional qualifications, which I feel is simply wrong. If a degree becomes a professional qualification, where do you go to get an academic qualification?
I do agree with some parts of the article. Mainly the bits about practice and learning to use version control. You should practice all aspects of the curiculum really, writing parsers, proving things to yourself, etc.
And version control is very useful because you can version control almost everything. Writing a paper? Version it! Working on some graphic design work? Version it! Coding something? Version it!
Versioning things gives you the confidence to be very vicious with your edits and rewrites, so you can experiment a lot more and hopefully never lose anything. | null | 0 | 1316190916 | False | 0 | c2kc8t8 | t3_khkyd | null | t1_c2kc8t8 | t1_c2kc5q0 | null | 1427608188 | 6 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | teletran | null | I agree, Computer Science should not be focused mainly on turning out programmers, but instead exploring more of the fundamentals and other ares of the field.
Whether you're a CS or SWE student (or have degrees in either), programming is a *tool*. Much like how plumbers and auto mechanics both use a wrench from time to time. I know SWE focuses much more on the tools and methodologies, but they're also usually important for a modern CS degree. My article is aimed at helping students who make improper use of those tools (whether or not the CS degree should use them isn't the subject of my article, I'm merely writing to how it really is), and of course this applies to SWE or anyone else learning to program, not just CS students.

True | absinthe718 | null | We already have a tiered system of education and those tiers area based on local home prices. If you live in a wealthy area, the property taxes can be higher and schools can be much nicer. Live in a poor area where most people are renters and property taxes play for really crappy schools. There is a reason why wealthy areas have banks and investment centers and why poor areas check cashing and payday loans and it is mostly unrelated to government.
My ex grew up in Connecticut. In a really nice area. Her high school had a campus that was unreal. A library building. A "performance space" rather than a crappy gym that doubled as an auditorium. Two gyms. Indoor _and_ outdoor pools. I grew up in a blue collar part of NYC. We didn't have anything like that. I saw her pictures from high school. Lots of kids in fancy clothes. Top of the line walkmen all around. Lots of fancy cars in the senior parking lot, which I mistakenly assumed was the faculty parking lot.
There are models for school choice and school competition that could solve that but for the most part the Right (and libertarians as well) are not actually interested in those models. They prefer options that would simply un-fund schools for the bottom 20-40% of population under the assumption that those on the bottom could simply drive/take bus/heliport to where the good schools are. Or that schools will try to get the best students from nearby poor areas. Neither option is likely on a pure crunching-the-numbers financial analysis.

True | pollodelamuerte | null | I've used Hg and Git for about a year each.
I've found for newbies, Hg is far more accessible. Also, the fact that tools work well on all platforms helps a lot too. I've personally found branching in Hg to be a bit awkward though.
Git on the other hand has a massive learning curve and support on some platforms is lacklustre. Once you get an understanding of how to use the tool it is fantastic though. GitHub is nice, I guess, but I don't think it's one of the things that make necessarily make git such an awesome tool.
If I were to suggest a tool to someone with absolutely no version control knowledge, I'd have to say I'd recommend Hg even though it's not my preference.
edit: I've personally found that the features available in BB were far better than those in GitHub. They might have fallen behind over the last year though.

True | mcguire | null | > I would argue that a CS course should not be aimed at turning out programmers, but people who are good at Computer Science, not too distant from a Mathematics degree.
To an extent, I would agree, but my take on it is that the result of an undergraduate degree in computer science is a professional programmer. Like most other science degrees, if you want to be a Computer Scientist (with a capital CS), you *will* need advanced degrees; an undergraduate *education* (not *training*) as a programmer may not completely prepare you except in terms of intuition, but on the other hand it won't hurt you any. The true advantage of computer science in this regard is that it's not like archaeology, for example: an archaeologist without a Ph.D. is a ditch digger (or more precisely, a shovel bum).
As for [software engineering](http://www.computer.org/portal/web/swebok/html/contents) as a specific field of study, my opinion of it is much the same as "management information systems": I know a few (semi-) official software engineers, a lot of MIS graduates, and a whole lot of people who can manage a software project. On the other hand, I know very few who I can trust to write decent code consistently. And the last is my bottom line for professional programming. | null | 0 | 1316192577 | False | 0 | c2kcia0 | t3_khkyd | null | t1_c2kcia0 | t1_c2kc8t8 | null | 1427608387 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
