I find this pretty interesting. I'm not sure I agree with the point about the phone, though. For me, a phone call is in the chain of escalation, and not an effective communication tool at the lowest level. Consider: it is the most d

it wouldn't be all that hard to implement this yourself if you're willing to load script dynamically. you'd have to maintain your own digest list.

I seem to recall one of the NBC commentators saying that Bolt attended college in the U.S. and competed in the NCAA. I don't follow track at all, so I had no internal fact-check for knowing any better. My mistake if I was wrong.

I agree. His understanding of how you might apply these patterns in C++ seems substandard, at best. Doesn't he know about std::<container_type>::iterator? He didn't even seem to know about templates at all. But that's just the te
