That quote from the ex-Microsoftie is the classic. Most ideas will fail. Right. Let's attribute brilliance to a master of the obvious. But the one idea that succeeds, even if it's "a way to kill aliens faster", will undoubtedly hear fro

Wow, this compiles fast. And the Flex and Bison files are there. This seems hackable. Nice work! My only questions are (they are always the same with any purported sed/awk "replacement"): 1. what was the problem you were trying to solve

Maybe they're just looking for improvements in the way they do sorting? Asking questions like these in interviews might be a way to find people who could teach their code monkeys new tricks? Or it might have just been some silly way to eli

Apple trying to get kids to leave college early? "Loses job"? Do they mean "job opportunity"? He's a student. And I'm sure he could get another offer if he set his mind to it. Though I'm not sure it's worth his time. Looking to the futu

If they're trying to sell us on this free software, why don't they provide a diagram of the SSP packet instead of telling us about UTF-8 support? I can tell whether I'm seriously interested in this just from looking at how they've structur
