It's not a misconception. I know a lot of authors have argued, correctly, that there was some nuance to the Luddites arguments, but the fact remains that they did in fact behave exactly as was described: there was a technology that the

It wasn't. I think it was Bill Burr or Louis C.K. Some sort of short, fat, bald comedian, I guess. I get them all mixed up. And it could have been a kitten instead of a baby. But I remember it because, yes, I have felt a bit like Lenny

This sounds like a self-fulfilling prophesy. If only think comments are for telling you what a line of code does literally, then you're only going to see comments where the code is obscure. If you use it as a form of high-level communi

In American movies, I'll sometimes you'll hear "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith" when introducing a couple at an extremely formal event where everyone wears tuxedos and such. I've never been to such an event before, so I do

We live in a world where corporate entities have an extraordinary control over our lives, what opinions we see and hear, even if we actively seek out those opinions. At some point we need to stop thinking about free speech as simply a guara

To me, the difference between a list and an array is that an array is a fixed length allocation of memory storing multiple items of the same size. This way, to jump to the third item in the list, you just need to know the data type (or rath

That's not a fair comparison. America's population is nowhere near that of Europe and our states don't have soveirgnty. Do you know the subdivisions of Russia or China? There is a lot of parochialism in thinking America is in
