I worry about this a lot. There's archive.org doing an amazing job but it seems like so much of our culture is getting lost because it's online. My box of Popular Science magazines from the 1950s is amazing - even the ads are inte

That's a fair point - his content is certainly compatible with the Common Core's standard. I was really venting about your point [2] and shouldn't have implicated the standard for that. Thanks for the references.

Anybody have experience with his site, greatcoderclub? That looks like an interesting way to get over the activation energy and build up some discipline for pushing out side projects.

This is the kind of experience would never be allowed with the Common Core type approach. I can't imagine people spending a classroom day on something like this (even though it's awesome and super valuable), but alas it's not

I thought you tempered your use of "passionate" with specific examples that showed it wasn't exploitive or BS. It was clear you were looking for people who could write really high quality code and who had strong thoughts on w

Are there any good apps for location-aware WiFi toggling? I rarely use WiFi outside of home or work so I'd like it to turn itself off to avoid stuff like this.

Your phrase, "utter arbitration" doesn't make sense - that word is about settling disputes. You could say "This number comes from my intuition (and is a little arbitrary), I assume..."

The newer posts on there are the digital equivalent of graffiti. The original Linux post is clogged with a bunch of junk as well. It's always upsetting to see traffic driven to these posts leading to trash from visitors.

C++ tried to use template specialization with std::vector<bool> to take advantage of bool-ness and provide a dense storage for bits, but it suffers for reasons Linus points out here, namely the inability to cleanly address individual
