It's bizarre, I'm sure if I made any of those comments to women at university I would quickly become pretty unpopular. So is this just a problem of the previous generation or a problem specific to the workplace? I really do feel for the a

Myself, I learned from K&R, and I thought it was great at the time, now I'm less sure of this. I've heard that "A Book on C" is supposed to be a much better book for learning C

Am I the only person who thinks it's absolutely insane how much time people spend learning to use an editor? Am I really supposed to believe that my time is better spent learning an editor than it is spent getting better at programming? I h

gui vs cli, interesting topic. i used to use the command line for everything but recently switched to using guis. switched mainly because gui applications seem nicer to me for completing common desktop tasks, for example listening to music,
