That's actually pretty cool to know. Interesting website too.
Which I'd thought to register fb.com when Facebook first arrived on the scene.

This is a tutorial on how to implement a programming language. Because... because... well, I guess because at least one person felt a need

Hopefully, the language based on JavaScript would be better than JavaScript.

The only way you could make JavaScript worse would be to add "indentation based block scoping".
I might just do that.

Implementing a programming language Hmmmmmm I only worried these days about mastering one

Researchers suggest there are so many scientific papers that their contents are being rapidly forgotten. "Recursion: see Recursion."

I don't know where you got it from - but I guess from my new signature?

Yeah I think I also already knew it once. I guess I'm so old it's new again

It recursed itself into re-relevance

nice one!

Sadly, I can't remember the contents of this study, which means I must've remembered it!
And I certainly remember that study that said refactoring isn't effective

I don't know how you picked it. But there is tech joke says
In order to understand recursion you must first understand recursion

In other words, this study added one more to that.
A question arises: Has the increased number of scientific studies decreased the 'unscientific-ness' of the general populace? I guess not.

Go offers speed, concurrence, and portability, but it's still young and might be too simple. Do not collect $200

Some guy on the web wrote: while many modern languages force programmers to front-load the design aspect of a program
Which is bull. It takes a certain restraint to not use features available, and opinions which features are "good old" vs. "a burden" may diverge in a team. Yet no one forces you to use lambdas or polymorphy or generics / templates or whatever irks you.
Simplicity is probably good when projects see high employee turnover.
Plus, "Google backing" can be a fickle beast.
The rest can probably be said about every young language.

The proposed digital currency system would work in a similar way. [..] Unlike bitcoin, where the network is decentralized and there is no overseer, the proposed digital currency system would be controlled by central banks, the source said. Interesting times ahead.

It looks like Iron Man's arm, but it's actually a fully-functioning bionic prosthetic for a seven-year-old kid. Electronically wired and capable of moving, it can, for instance, open and close its hand if the user flexes their bicep. The limb was created by Limbitless Solutions, a non-profit made up of engineering students from the University of Central Florida, using donations and money they saved by sacrificing coffee.
Cool!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I really loved this, the way that little kid behaved (in happiness) and how Robert was integrated into all of this as expert bionics (Iron Man -- Tony Stark[^]; if someone doesn't know why Robert was there in this video) engineer good step by One note and others... Truly amazing.
In case somebody missed to see the video, you can see it at Robert's official Facebook page, URL to video is: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=406208302880974[^].
