First-year computer science sounds like a lot of work. I've been told, at various times, that every first-year CS student should know Java, Python, C, assembly, data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and compilers. I guess the second through fourth years are spent sleeping, to make up for the sleep debt from that first year? Anyway, CS students may very well be polymaths who shoot lightning from their fingertips, but those of us who spent our wayward college years solving the Schrödinger equation and eating pizza are happy to read a fun article about the executable formats that we've never really taken the time to look into.
