This topic (I do not know why) raises some serious emotion-based responses on coders. The other topic I know will cause almost a religious flame-war is the philosophical meaning of "null" in the SQL arena. I've tried to add s

In Go you can pass a pointer, and a pointer to a pointer. I understand both cases are usually called "pass-by-reference". If you call "pass-by-value" to passing a pointer, then the notion of "pass-by-value" and

That's a GREAT experiment. A hacker will not change his opinions on the article, either good or bad. He might even ask "so?". A non-hacker hating the article will mutate opinion, and now regard the piece as an inspiring essay

No, and this distinction is essential: You're welcomed based on what you can do and not on what you are . "white male" is un-meritocratic, is something you "are", and not something you can "make" by tal

I've used PEGs to create a compiler, and it results in clear, readable code, easy to maintain. Because the parser structure it's cleaner, it feels natural to write the parser manually with PEGs. The key is to handle parse-fail wit

I don't see how quantum mechanics has something to do with: "lasers, microprocessors and iPhones" Seems to be things based more on classical physics... QM maybe means D-wave computers...

Same here. Technical text translation is normally a disaster. I truly hate web pages that switch languages based on IP location, as MSDN sometimes does. In my language the translators always get wrong keywords that should not be translated,
