I have certainly been afforded no privilege in my youth, although I understand that you reason this is post-hoc sophistry -- it seems like you're setting up an impossible goalpost for my position. But in the interest of fairness, I'll speak

All of this stuff is discussed in Being and Nothingness by Sarte and Fear and Trembling by Camus, which Robert Solomon extensively discusses.

Come, come. You know that all I'm saying is that you're more than just a gear in some deterministic machine. I'm not saying these statistics are invalid whatsoever. You simply should not use them to frame your chance of success. I'll reiter

Similar articles have surfaced a lot recently with the publication of the BLS's new labor statistics, so I'll repeat what I've said before. I recently turned 20 years old and I'm not in college nor do I plan to finish a degree (and if it wa

You're right, it's somewhat unfair of me to demonize video games. I most certainly did not mean to demonize drugs, our society places an unfair stigma on them that is entirely a result of some rather ancient belief systems. To be direct, I

Come, come. I'm just saying that even if you come from a low-income household, you're more than just a gear in some deterministic machine. I'm not saying these statistics are invalid whatsoever.

This is overly personal and about to be a little Horatio Alger, but it's a relevant anecdote to the bubble comment so I'll throw it out there -- I personally don't come from a household making more than 25,000 a year, I lived in the esteeme

I personally reject the notion that a degree in Anthropology, English or some other nonmarketable major is a bad idea. Doing something that makes a significant impact in any given field, especially considering the sizable advantages of web

I think you're absolutely correct, I also think there's a lot more people making decisions that optimize for short-term satisfaction rather than long-term happiness. It's true that my deepest happiness comes from creation but I believe I'm

Thank you for your gracious words, but I'd ask you to thank Robert Solomon and Sarte.

This is interesting to me. I'm 20 years old and I'm not in college nor do I plan to finish a degree (and if it wasn't for technology greats like Peter Thiel and PG advice, I might still be making a $100,000 mistake). I'm a fairly normal guy

I think this is a great article but misses some of what I think are the most essential points of what makes Erlang great. Superficially, Erlang is Actor Model for functionalists. I could go on about the various advantages this model provide

Come, come Up and coming low-level programmers still exist. I just turned 20 this past January and I've been doing x86 at least once a week for 5 years now, in fact, my meal ticket -- IDA Pro, sits as I type this whirring away at calculatin

-fno-stack-protector does a number of things that interfere with "standard" smashing of the stack, You'll learn a lot if you keep stack protections in place! Also, be sure to turn off Write^Execute memory pages and ASLR as another commenter

I'm a mere pup in San Francisco, you're Thomas Ptacek. You probably have a wikipedia page and personal islands. I could suffer an untimely fate if you so much as looked at me wrong. What I mean to say is that your authority is better than m

Most firewalls can be configured to block packets with a TTL greater than the route hop count back or simply never allow traffic through even if the TTL is the hop count + X (where X is distance to internal host, presumably 1) I didn't mean

Just in case you want to open up your Redis instance to the internet? Sometimes I think people like antirez add these features just so an article isn't published proclaiming Redis security to be broken because of no password authentication.
