Shoes, clothing, make-up, houses, boobs, boyfriends, husbands... you name it. Women are just as competitive as men. Something the article did not mention, that I have found to be true. We tend to collaborate with people we trust and fiercel

Technology has allowed us to produce massive amounts of food very inexpensively. The restaurant portions are evidence of that. We can grow, process and deliver food much more inexpensively than we did 30 years ago. Go into a Bojanles and or

That's an easy one... In Ruby, I can do string.reverse(). Python makes me type string[::-1] to reverse a string. In a nutshell, that is why Ruby is better than Python. I must admit that I use Python more than Ruby. I like both, but know Pyt

"Everyone in the room agrees that the Earth has been getting warmer and human activity probably has something to do with it." --- No direct evidence of this exists. Humans may have something to do with it, and they may not. There is still d

Reminds me of a rhetorical question Ted Nugent once asked which he then answered himself, "What does the National Guard do? They guard the nation."

How can you reject C and fart apps in the same rant? One is a serious technological breakthrough, the other is a mockery of technology. The OpenBSD guys have a point when they are critical of much of the new-fangled technology. When a signi

Flaming blog? It seemed pretty tame to me. The worst thing he said was "not cool" and just asked to be credited for the work that's far from flaming. No threats, cursing, or ranting at all.

You can compile only what you need. It's much faster that way, but if you do a complete build (debug, static, etc) it will take hours. It's not that bad though and certainly worth it in the end.

Don't assume they know what you are talking about. I've worked with medical doctors and lawyers who are super smart and make hundreds of dollars an hour. If I were rude to them, they would work with someone else. Our experience is different

It works fine on default EXT3. The only thing journaled is meta-data. You snipped that part out. More from man shred In the case of ext3 file systems, the above disclaimer applies (and shred is thus of limited effectiveness) only in data=jo

Recursion in C++ is really cool until you add threads or too many items and blow the stack and start getting random seg faults. I speak from experience. I tend to avoid it now and iterate instead.

One other concern is people pretending to be you. Someone who wanted to harm your online reputation/character and could join many forums pretending to be you and post pics, flames, etc. all under your name using a free hotmail or gmail acco

We humans do things that we regret. It's part of being human. Unless we are murderers or rapists or something similar, then I don't understand the concern. For every bad/embarrassing thing I've ever done, there are hundreds of good/non-emba

US here. BS from large state technical university. I had about 18K in loan debt upon graduation. Paid it off in 2 years. I could have drug it out for 30 years, but wanted to pay it off. I am glad I did.

Software patents in general are bad, but far worse when the software is a development tool (e.g. Java/JVM/some core dev tool). A patent issue on an app I write can be easily resolved (pay the fine, royalties, etc.) and re-write that code. B

If RMS were your cube mate, the lawyers would run in fear. They might walk around asking these sort of questions once but never again.

I disagree. I prefer honest people and at times honesty is negative. Some people are mean and horrific. How could a Jew describe Hitler positively? Tell the truth, just because it happens to be negative is not a bad thing and does not make

Very nice write-up. Little details such as this should make Mongrel2 very solid. It's nice to see how he analyzed the issues around poll and epoll and then figured out how to make use of both for optimum performance no matter what happens i

I like OpenBSD the best of them all. The project has principles and they stick to them. It is simple and understandable and people like Stuart Henderson are very helpful with ports and new developers. It's a much smaller and friendly projec

OK, so I'm a troll, but how do you get any coding done while doing all this other stuff?

How does this guy get any coding done? He's always writing rants and waving his hands to get attention. He writes, "Send an email and I'll add your name to the donation page." I hope he doesn't get a million donation emails asking to have t

boost has a nice threading library too. He didn't mention that when listing other portable threading alternatives and I think the boost implementation will be in the next standard.

Nice article. The point he makes about Linux devs vastly outnumbering OpenSolaris devs is true for all of the free operating systems. Look at the CVS commits in OpenBSD. You can count on both hands the number of 'primary commiters' Thousand
