They probably just couldn't go as deep on as many targets but were able to watch a lot from a relatively high level. Back then there was a lot less noise to filter through, too. Mobile devices weren't ubiquitous... traffic was mo

It sounds nuts at the time, now we just think "of course." +1 "told ya so" point for Mr Assange. Gotta love the PCMCIA mentions; brings back memories.

Really nice review of source for a truly classic game. It's cool that we have source available and even better that it's so easy to digest with the help of the review like this.

You're actually incorrect, I just did not articulate my point fully (in fact, did a downright bad job) or reread my comment. When I later reread my original comment my initial reaction was "where did the rest of it go?" In th

That definitely makes it more meaningful since it provides a tangible benefit to low-income graduates (also latino, black, and those whose parents did not graduate college), which was not made clear by the original article. That's the

Why would people want to necessarily go to a selective school? The evidence supplied that selective schools make a difference was Caroline Hoxby of Stanford-- the most selective school in the country. She might have just a little bias. Wh

RMS is a strange duality. On the one hand he's a freedom advocate and has put considerable effort forward to make our world a better place; it's hard to not have a great deal of respect for him. On the other hand he's brillia

Wow. It feels like I wrote that article I agree with it so much. There are a few things I disagree with: 1. I'm not a TDD purist but I do think a red/green TDD cycle does strongly encourage all of the following things to happen in
