Since smartness happens in the brain mostly, specifically neocortex, brain, memory, analitical thinking concepts are good places to start, So that you can understand why most of the advices are good. In order to give you a list.
Social skills:
- Learn to really listen other people.
- Learn to ask correct questions
- Body language, gestures
- Meeting new people from different cultures, especially people don't believe in prophets and hell and heaven stories
Improving brain:
- Playing a musical instrument
- Learning another spoken language
- No TV, no football, soccer bullshit, not too much porn, talking about girls & boys or cars& houses, celebrity etc.
Gaining Knowledge:
- Mathematics, Physics, Programming, Astronomy, Biology, Paleontology, Evolution, any science branch you are interested.
- On the other hand, i personally think, the best way to learn about a different culture is to travel whether it is local or not.
Some good resources:
- Here of course
- wikipedia
- documentaries
- coursera
- youtube, if you can avoid stupid girl podcasts, otw you will end up with bad recommendations.

I will stop know, i also want to learn what other sugesstions are :)
The capitalist acts of desperation to increase company profit... First motivate the employees to write the İOS and Android app, they will be working their asses off, hoping the company will survive. Then fire them. Voila!
Anonymity is still important to some though, since whatsapp by default uses phone number vs bbm's pin number, some users may shift to bbm. It is late, but may be not too late.
I admire this effort. However what we need is a fully free phone (Hardware schematics, source code). I am really disturbed about all that network connection, GPS yet so little transparency.
Have you ever seen a movie, where the rogue agent does not take out and destroy the phone, like it is a devil work :P
Any knowledge on hardware schematics, source code, license issues?
You do realize your answer is based on the pointed out problem. Let me put it this way, I am saying, "We should wear better shoes, and you are saying, even you don't like it, you are wearing it right now, and it does a decent job". Yes that is what I am talking about :)
Oh system programming does exist, and I can understand the role of C, what I am saying is, even we have a better alternative to C, people would still stick with C.
There is no economic incentive, you are right but the reason itself mostly economical not technical.
Well the article touches some good points, since it made me think...
The problem is the language and paradigms used not the framework or how many levels you abstracted the problem at hand.
The way as i see it, writing programs by manipulating data excessively, will lead us nowhere but complexity, which unfortunately is introduced by the program itself. Mainstream languages such as C++, Java, C# etc., should not be taught in schools as if they are the ultimate solution, and fp is sth not practical, it is a twofaced claim while stealing ideas from fp and patching these languages, nowadays.
Another one, saying how fast the IT changes at every chance and sticking with ancient programming languages. When someone points out the dilemma, then claiming not to having enough developers for say Haskell, Clojure, Go etc.. May be you should fix the education system morons, instead of building more complex frameworks, platforms.
Of course there are particular areas, such as simulations, modelling time dependent large data sets, embedded development etc.. where some languages will be the best suited while others will be overkill or not just fast/ viable etc.. Of course, I am not blindly saying, "Death to imperative languages" :P However, they shouldn't dominate.
As a final comment, The future of programming is already here, The question is are we ready for the future...
Definitely agree, unfortunately people always know better, even when they don't have any clue. My philosophy is "If the development environment provide you a modern, native build system(ex: go build, get), go with it, otherwise stick to make unless using autotools etc. will give you a reasonable advantage."
Turkey is in a transition process which will turn it into an islamic piece of shit country like Iran. Secular holly crap :) From the perspective of current prime minister of Turkey
