This can easily be channeled into a positive. If you are consuming information that has value I don't see the problem. I binge a little on engineering videos each week that add to my personal and professional life. I love absorbing

Wow because on both sides if you had half a brain a) the lawyers wouldn't have been caught and b) it would be effortless to defend against because there is no proof it was you on your broadband IP unless you flat out admitted it instea

Since gravitational waves travel at the speed of light there should be a delay as well where the gravity of one body is affecting another from where it was not where it is. For earth that is where the sun was 8 minutes ago. Technically th

I always assume malloc success and that if it were to return null the system is screwed anyway and the app will just abort. I write a lot of 'critical' C/C++ now on embedded systems with mere KB of RAM and just never use the

Talk about deja vu seeing that first picture of the guy trying to fly. I jumped out a tree when I was a kid with a plastic grocery bag at each foot, knee, wrist, elbow, and my neck. I didn't break anything but I never did it again.

This is an awful SDL engine example. I've made rendering engines before. You should for example have a second windowless openGL context with its own thread so that you can be sending drawing commands at the same time you are updating

Unless the jig is to go to the NSA for 5-10 years, build up contacts, then get recruited into a firm that pays insanely for your connections. As far as I can tell the near sole purpose of the NSA/CIA is national level corporate espion
