If you have a few hours (or days) free, go through the rest of Fabien's source code reviews and articles. It's fantastic stuff. I really hope he does finish up the book he's writing on the Wolfenstein 3D engine.

Hah, I always thought it might not be the greatest idea to put all the IT for a government in one bureaucratic fiefdom... But they pay their support invoices for software on time and don't blink at the prices, so that's something.

I have about 2400 sq ft in Southern New Hampshire for a mortgage+taxes of about $1800/month. If you were willing to commute 30-60 minutes into Mass, there are jobs that would pay that kind of salary, although the local job market isn&

Nearly every gas station and general store in the land will sell you a much better sub for the same price or less than Subway charges for their aggressively mediocre products.

> I tend to view an unemployed human as an awful waste of computational resources. If we extend the metaphor, there are 4004s and there are i7s. You need a lot of 4004s to equal the output of one i7. That many 4004s use a lot more watts

Sure, when you're switching jobs every two or three years, those bad decisions you make to ship now or paper over problems to make a sale don't have the opportunity to come back around and really bite you in the ass. It's the
