I don't understand how half of this stuff works, but it's always awesome to see the guts of a complex system. The first time I looked at linux source code was comparable to the first time I looked under the hood of a car - I had only the sl

The interview process is definitely an intense one in this field. One thing to keep in mind when you're answering technical questions is that the interviewer is just as interested in hearing you think out the problem as they are in hearing

Every time I read one of Steve's blog posts, I realize how little I know about software development.

Interesting read. Especially considering the school of engineering at my university just replaced its last Solaris station in favor of some flavor of Linux.

This data doesn't surprise me whatsoever. I'm an undergrad and these numbers are close to what I'd predict for my university. I don't know a single person with a landline. Everyone I know owns a laptop and has it registered on the universit

The way you describe Plato as 'bronze-age' makes it seem like you've never read anything he wrote. I agree that many of his ideas are antiquated (most of his metaphysics, for example); yet, other ideas are still valid (like his theory of ju

I disagree. I'm a philosophy major, I hate reading Plato. Boring, dry, antiquated - definitely. Regardless, he is a cornerstone of western thought. Know your classics.

I tend to like most of the stuff I find on this site. I like the CS/Hacker stuff, as well as the science, tech, math, and other 'intellectually stimulating' stuff. I dislike articles that seem to have nothing to do with intellectual curiosi

I don't understand why people think staying fit is such a god damn mystery. Exercise a few hours a week, eat a well balanced diet, get enough sleep. How hard is that?

Depends on what kind of penalty you mean. I know at my university you can take a leave of absence for a semester with no academic penalty, but most people wouldn't do it because they're afraid of how it would look on a transcript/resume.

I don't think that businessperson 'asshole' stereotype is always well deserved. I've worked with a lot of MBAs who are competent, caring, and good at programming.

I've been participating in triathlons/5ks/10ks since I was in high school. To keep in shape, I have a pretty simple regiment that I do 5/6 days a week. Each one of those days, I run, bike, or swim, depending on what I feel like doing. I go

So, what you're saying is, if the type isn't a gif OR if it isn't a jpeg, reject. The problem is that every picture isn't a gif or isn't a jpeg. jpeg images will be rejected because they aren't gifs, and gifs will be rejected because they
