I'm thinking it must be the "conspiracy theorists" that don't exist. Must be a false flag - I mean, after all, there's NO WAY a real person would believe these conspiracies. The government is trying to get us believ

That is why we use the term “middle-income”, because it is defined in relatively straightforward ways. The whole reason for this discussion is the lack of sharp categories when talking about class.

I always enjoyed Perl 5 and still do. Never got the point of 6, always seemed unnecessary and still does. 5 is very pleasant for your own scripting and most heavy lifting tasks, nothing else has ever been quite as quick and fun. Maybe not a

Agile is not science-based, it is an ad hoc bag of techniques that seem to have merit. As such you have to be able to reason about what your practices are and you have to relate everything to concrete business goals. Your goal should never

Recently on a podcast I heard the assertion (so I don't know of a study) that female students may be observed to do better on average in math classes than males, but males were disproportionately much more confident about their abiliti

A CRC is the remainder or residue after division (by the CRC generating polynomial). So you are given a dividend (the message) and a remainder (the CRC). What is the divisor (the CRC polynomial)? From one example dividend/remainder yo

Pretty interesting! The tool they use is CRC RevEng - apparently one of the things it does it try known CRCs, and they give this unique catalog of known CRCs: http://reveng.sourceforge.net/crc-catalogue/

>Today’s MacBooks are worse computers but more beautiful devices than the ones they replaced. Is that directly attributable to Jony Ive? With these keyboards in particular, I believe the answer is yes. Until now design was king at Apple.

Just yesterday out of nostalgia I downloaded some classic songs by X - Los Angeles, Under the Big Black Sun, etc. Fun shows! I don't have any of my old vinyl anymore. Anybody here still holding onto your old albums?

That was the original Internet. Search engines evolved to make finding things possible. Another original intent: that URLs would not need to be user-visible, and you wouldn't need to type them in.

Not clear they considered the warming ocean as separate from warming climate. “The rate at which our weather has been warming in recent years could be temporarily slowed down,” they told me. “We don’t know the exact rate at which the sea is

The argument advanced here is that, counter-intuitively, warming climate triggers an ice age, because open Arctic waters feed the glaciers through increased snowfall. So it was climate cooling and the freezing of the Arctic that ended the

For embedded programming you are more likely to be asked questions that require bit manipulation, shifting, masking, etc. Maybe low-level C, mapping structs to memory locations, etc. Maybe how you might go about implementing hardware inter
