   Apart from a personal preference, why does that sound stupid to you? It's not artsy sure, but it's nothing new. You see cameras, washing machines, microwaves, digital watches and even mobile phones[1] among other things with similar nomencl

   On the other hand, think of it as a never ending conference of a very specific type of crowd, a lot of the crowd from hackernews for example, who are connected to an extremely focused network, without having to deal with as much noise as th

    I'm aware of that link and here's my result in Chrome on Incognito. Within our dataset of several million visitors, only one in 1,172,808 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours. Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fin

    Unfortunately with supercookies, IP address-based identification (maybe even machine signature based id-ing?) and such, I think incognito mode is practically a placebo.

    Along with Kernighan and Ritchie, I would also highly recommend getting a copy of 'C: A reference manual' by Harbison and Steele. That book explains a lot of stuff by topic and with descriptive examples. Especially beneficial for a quick re

    It's not just the content alone that makes the difference. A few things: - It's the community that makes you feel like a part of something. Compared to popular fitness boards, you don't go to reddit only when you're in the 'trying to lose w
