On the UCOP topic, I worked for a UC school for 10+ years and I have no idea what value UCOP actually provides to the campuses, if any. You'd think they would consolidate administrative services like payroll under UCOP, but UCOP doesn&

I also work for IBM, remotely. So far I've heard no hint of anything like this internally. My boss claims he's heard nothing about it. Are there any technical IBM employees here who have been "forced" to relocate? This p

I don't think you'd have to assume that's a dystopian scenario. The Copernican Revolution and associated existential crises -- that we're not in a privileged location at the center of the universe -- changed human cultur

Haha, today I learned the opposite of what you learned. "In Europe & Australia the term "Duracell Bunny" has entered the vernacular as a term for anything that continues indefatigably while in North America the term &quot

That's kinda cheating though isn't it? Like chaining a dozen statements on one line with semicolons and going, "look I can write that program in one line!"

My sister's old white Macbook had that problem. I always assumed something melted in it. It definitely has a powerful "armpit" smell when you open it.

Not that it matters anymore since this was pre-Google, but I swear to god, someone actually asked me the manhole cover question when I interviewed at ITA in 2010. This was for a DevOps type role, so maybe they were less well organized on th

I get that the answer is "undefined". But I decided to figure out why at least on my compiler I get "14". $ cat t.c ; gcc ./t.c #include<stdio.h> int main() { printf("%d\n", a()); } int a() {
