No no, not "mods". The phpbb people were always weirdly militant about calling them them MODS, uppercase. Why, I'm not sure, because it's not an acronym. Eventually they decided to start calling them Extensions, which

Exposure to a nuclear blast doesn't necessarily make things radioactive. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not radioactive wastelands. Even in Chernobyl, the other reactors continued to operate for a time after the accident, and nature is t

Isn't the point that x86 instructions are themselves no longer a good mental model for what the processor is actually doing under the hood, and thus C which was long billed as a thin layer over top of assembly is itself a higher abstra

Agreed. From the comments, lots of people down-thread who clearly haven't worked in large orgs. They are arguing about not wanting to take ownership because they know the organizational structure is going to be an impediment. The pro
