The linux kernel source is objectively bad. It's fast and efficient, but I wonder how many man months are wasted every year by kernel hackers trying to keep all of these arcanely-named functions and structurez and variables in their he

As long as people go to that site with the intention to learn languages, and not learn the concepts involved, they'll quickly realize that like wikipedia, the quality of the submissions is sometimes lacking. In fact, a lot of pages hav

Of course different people will feel the effects of settling for self-stimulation differently. This isn't the first time I've heard someone express their doubt that humans can go without actual sex. It sounds like hyperbole to me,

Those poor helpless /r/science masses, unable to control theirselves when a controversial post is made. It's a good thing we have moderators to save us from ourselves. (Face it: People suck)

My problems with Scala: 1) src/main/scala/com/thingy/actualthingy JUST to get to the root of your code. 2) Recompiling/restarting is slow because liftweb and other frameworks are overly complex. 3) I'm 9

Ever since the PS3 was hacked with a USB device causing a buffer overflow in the USB driver, I've been wondering how long it would be before someone discovered PCs were vulnerable to something similar. This just goes to show that security e

Well, more power to them. There's a ton of people like me out there who would like to learn to code, and do so in a prescribed manner that could eventually lead to employment placement. That said, this particular announcement is more than a

I don't think we can agree on philosophy. But how can we punish those who misrepresent what their software does, when a large portion of the software out there was released anonymously? At least, if software developers were held responsible
