I always assume textbooks are opinionated and full of errors. I learned that to be true at a very young age. Sometimes that assumption turns out to be mostly wrong, though, and those books are rare treasures. Most schoolbooks in particular

Well, this list (heh) was cs concepts or data structures. Most humans on the planet definitely don't know what a linked list is or how it's used, let alone how it's implemented. The cooking analogy is trying to bridge that ga

Kids are interested in learning. Adults are interested in learning. The human brain is interested in learning. It becomes tremendously happy when it learns and so do the humans. The problem is that the brain doesn't like effort and is

And the problem with that answer is that it doesn't lead to engagement or interest and that means it doesn't lead to learning. It's a bad answer. I also disagree that there needs to be justification. I don't think studen

Why oh why don't these projects even do simple web searches or stop to think that their users might want to search (and find relevant answers for) their language, library, or other project before picking the same bad names over and ove

Yes. Screenshots or examples, broad dependencies or used platform/technology should be the first things to show. It's incredible how far down they are buried many times. It's like they want potential users to give up before f

Red is an aggravating colour psychologically. It's pretty universally used as a warning. Red lights in cars also mean "not ready to drive". Brake lights are also red for similar reason. "Seeing red."

Correct. Slashes mean it's a yank date and going to be backwards. Dashes hint that it's going to be (close to) ISO standard.

Kind of. But that means any file that goes through that mechanism may be silently modified. Which is evil.

Datetimes in general have have a tendency to be cursed. Even when they work, something adjacent is going to blow up sooner or later. Especially if it relies on timezones or DST being in the value.

Peugeot used to have infrared keys. Several people who thought their central locking was glitchy have been surprised to learn that pointing the key at the side window makes it work every time.

Old beaters are exactly the things that get stolen. Their security can often be beaten with a butter knife or coat hanger. That's more about minimizing the losses, for which it's a useful approach. Running costs tend to be lower a

Python is pretty old, so I had a quick look. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B#History In 1985, the first edition of The C++ Programming Language was released, which became the definitive reference for the language

Imagine a reviewer that doesn't block that patch immediately. Of course, there might be some exceptions like if the codebase for some reason has some massive fixed tables or imports upstream files that may get updated occasionally. Tho

The most common (layperson) use for the terms I see is that sociopaths are psychopaths who know how to behave themselves. That leads to an obvious difference in occurrence rates.

Comment sections are often actually also the place where the gold is. Tons of authors find the answer to the problems that they were trying to solve in comments or they find greetings from other people doing similar things, or sometimes som

Yes. One of the particular features of engineering and especially software is that you don't usually solve the same problem twice. You just use the previous solution. That kind of thing can make you dream of having a job where you can

I once knew a manager who told a group of us engineers that they love getting contacted by customers. The angrier the better. This was baffling, of course. But the explanation was that every time it was an opportunity to listen to their pro

One problem with programming as a job is that you have to work on the project (and with the tools) that your employer or customer wants you to. On side projects, open source etc, you get to work on projects (and with tools) that you care ab
