People focus on the title and what it can buy you, but forget the skill set acquired and what that can buy you. I have a PhD, but it didn't really help me get my job. What it did do is change me from a worker drone into an independen

I'm aware, but I felt like shykes was simply repeating the copy from the blog post without actually breaking it down into simpler pieces. A sibling post did much better.

I find it unlikely that good people will fail to do string reversing if they haven't seen it before. I find it much more likely that the fizzbuzz failers are the students who wanted to copy my programming projects in undergrad.

Olive oil burns too easily. I usually use peanut or safflower oil. Where do they fit in on this radar?

With respect, "policies and procedures" do not protect against social engineering. You need a technical barrier.

Why? Github is about distribution and collaboration with a community. This product seems to be about private self-owned hosting.

The internal google scheduling system is simply not appropriate for anyone other than Google to use. A huge number of machines, all alike, with a huge number of trusted binaries that can be multiplexed onto these machines without fear tha

Go is also based on limitations. The job is to write programs that work, not to create little framework empires. I don't know why you claim that struct embedding isn't composition.
