Well, the only (literal) meaning of "know" that doesn't fit what everyone else on this thread was thinking it meant is: (3) archaic : to have sexual intercourse with So we should rephrase "Odds are, one should never trust a programmer w

I'll be upfront in admitting that I loathe C++ just as much the next guy (I can't seem to get away from Lispy languages), but isn't this being a teeny bit ridiculous?

Wait, what? EDIT: This comment literally says "usually if you think you know something, you don't." So I guess I shouldn't apply for a job using language FooBar, since by this guy's rule I probably don't actually know FooBar. How does this

Then the "non-technical" user who complains about this can go fuck themselves, since the Windows machine they're supposed to be switching from does the same thing. At first it sounds like I'm trolling, but please think this issue through. W

I've always felt that if you're a programmer and you're hiding from the so-called "mathy" parts of you're doing, whether it's universal things like algorithms or specific things like machine learning, instead of being given a cute title lik

Did anyone else notice the ridiculous number of typos in the article?

Maybe there's a way to do it that I missed, but it would be helpful if when I select a color from the palette, I could see the Hex/RGB value for the color and set it from that as well. That way when I want to set two elements to the same co

I agree 100%. I think it usually comes down to confidence: if you're not confident in your ability, it's all too tempting to try to learn "just a little bit more" and never take the plunge enough to practice. On the other end of the spectru

If I'm trying to order food from them, and their entire business model depends on me buying food from them, yet they're making it hard for me to find what food I can buy from them, they are either idiots or sloppy people who hire idiots to

If they can't be bothered to run the PDF through a program to translate it to HTML, and then post a link to the PDF version, I don't want to do business with them. If their menu is so fancy that it can't be easily translated into HTML, they

What I think is important to keep in mind is that reading good open-source code is what helps. I'd make sure a piece of code was written by a fair number of smart people and used by others before I started copying their idioms and emulati

It's upsetting to read that he just now started being wary of credit cards and shredding his papers. Someone should not have to go through such an ordeal before caring about the privacy of their personal information. The same goes for his "
