What an amazing read! I saw the correlation between actual and perceived ability and thought to myself, yeah, because the further up you go the more you expect the scale to become logarithmically difficult, be it only to imagine (for themse

Remember the old greek that knew he knew nothing? You don't sound like him. If you don't approach the issue - unawareness of one's incompetence - with humility, I'm sorry, but there's really one thing you are. You&#

That reminds me: Cory will always have my attention because, as with Ron Paul, I will take literally anything from an xkcd cartoon stick figure.

Oh wow. I recently dug up Max Payne again. Guess what, I find some of the content to be quite inspiring: The trick in my situation was that there was no trick, no matter what the movies tell you. No rules, no secret Mantra, no road map. It

The reason for why the whole unicode checking is done in python3 is to guarantee Unicode support in python3. I actually disliked the old half-string-half-binary approach and almost from the start enjoyed the clear distinction between str an

Who would have guessed that this story about the behavior of fluids seems to kind of leak.

To this day the stories of the moon landings are the greatest adventures in the galaxy. To think that they hadn't had the tech to fake it...

I expected this article to be at least tangential to C programming. Glad to C otherwise, I'm almost grateful. I know C pretty well, though, and would miss or reinvent it if it wouldn't exist.

Not sure when the article about butcher Ding came out, but it's absolutely my favorite whenever I feel like digging it up again. Of course the original story was great in and on itself, but the article really managed to bring the story

As the main developer on the project and the resident guru, I ask everyone working on this project to create a branch for their work and just drop me a message - a pull request. Which is a feature incompatible with some git workflows, like

I like your attitude and had a sensible chuckle.

TBH, that's exactly why I can't technically admire it. :)

I'd almost admire how convenient it was that the language that was used ships regexes already.

After a bit over 6 months into our startup, I find myself being more caring about my git commits. I find `git add --edit` for single-change a great thing as a QA and review of my own code, and find myself usually more disciplined than other

Not-yet-so-famous musicians should be able to hang out at a doctor's office or house for free. I even see room for mutually beneficial symbiosis, as music as something cheerful in and on itself can help enhance medical treatment. But I

....With my 32 years and tech affinity I simply can't imagine owning a credit card. The missing security being one thing, but it may also have to do with relatives being perpetually short on money for debt they accumulated themselves.

The article actually speaks reason. As somebody who learned C in a way that over time made me aware of the whole "compiler bug" vs. "the standard said so" thing, I'm still not over the nightmare that was "Admit

It strikes me as oddly cool for a fungus to find a cryptographic solution for their mating. And they still preserve some definition of a "collision".
