Being able to rattle off exactly how any particular data structure is implemented isn't useful for most developers. Being able to reason about algorithms and data structures _is_ useful in day-to-day development. And that does start wi

Perhaps "entitled to ask" is a poor choice of words. Yes, freedom of speech allows bipson to ask about contributing. It still comes across as entitled. The question was clearly laden with some expectation that Reventlov should go

This doesn't solve the issue of somebody traveling and getting mugged. Then what? You're just locked out of everything? That seems very, very inconvenient. There's a reason passwords haven't been usurped yet. It's b
