Programming is very close to logic.
Of course, there are other fields that require logic and problem solving. Engineering, science, for instance.
That makes no sense. I've taken literature, I've read hundreds of books on my own. Most of them are full of illogical things. At best they are OK to teach morals, not logic.
Philosophy is closer.
Computer programming is pretty much pure logic and problem solving.
The only better way to teach logic is to teach logic.
> teaching agriculture or other physical goods producing craftsmanship to kids would make them better at real world challenges
Computers and code are real world, and they solve real world challenges.
function createItem(item, successCallback, errorCallback) {
var req = $.post("/api/item", item);
req.success(successCallback);
req.error(errorCallback);
}
How is this more clear than the default jQuery $.post?I've recently converted all my accounts to that - my passwords are practically unbreakable, at least with the current tech. I feel way more secure than with the shit I had to memorize before.

1) Senior developers / CTO letting anybody mess with the prod DB should be grounds for their firing. It's so incompetent, it's insane.
2) No backups. How is this even possible. You even had paying customers.
1) Your front page essentially contains one button "Get free quotes", which takes you to another page with a form. Why not display that form on the front page? One less click = better conversions.
2) Why do I need to enter
A) company name
B) my email
C) employee names (what if I have 50?)
Quotes DO NOT depend on that information.3) The phrase "get quotes" is a major turn off in my mind. It reminds me of thousands of health insurance websites that give you quotes after endless form fill outs and spam your email. Why can't you phrase it in a human way? "Find plans", "enter your information", etc.

Compressive strength (PSI) | 6,750 | 16,000 - 70,000
Tensile Strength (PSI) | 6,500 | 36,000 - 115,000 (for stress-proof steel)
http://www.machinist-materials.com/comparison_table_for_plas...1) Compress the original with x264, target around 2mbit
2) Compress the result of #1 with your algorithm.
3) Compress the original with x264, target the bitrate of the result of #2
Compare #2 and #3
1) a high quality original video (30-40 Mbit).
2) a 2-Mbit video compressed with your algorithm.
3) a 2-Mbit video compressed with x264 with reasonable settings.
Until you present evidence, that article has very valid criticisms, which you have not addressed. Instead you went full PR astroturfing telling how great your tech is.
PROVE YOUR CLAIMS.
2) Use VPN if you can
3) Use TOR browser if you can
Let's overwhelm the internet with encrypted traffic. Nobody will have enough resources to decrypt or MITM all that traffic.
With the new PS4 x86 + GPU architecture, portability becomes trivial.
PS4, essentially, is a PC stuck in one configuration.
Your iPhone "argument" makes no sense, it's a red herring.
PS4 is doomed to be years behind PC. Even at launch, PS4 will be at least a year behind spec-wise.
BluRay market is 5-6 billion dollars. People buy them.
