It's too all-or-nothing. I would suggest splitting general ed. into 4 levels and the major into 4. Or maybe into 3, with 1 being the optional "minor". Resumes would then have something like "G:2, M:3". The equivalen

x86 is a hack on top of a chip design that was originally intended as a low-cost calculator CPU that gradually grew up to power big-iron servers. Most of its competitors were designed for medium or large computers from the get-go, so had

The best API's fit how users actually use them. I'm not sure there is a one-design-fits-all. One has to study to see what's done the most often and optimize around those, yet still allow flexibility for the times that deviate

This should be an easily solvable problem. All calls should come from a paid account and be trace-able to the payee (by the phone company). I don't get why there is so much phone spam. If we need new standards, let's get on it!

A lot of times partially good ideas get overblown and create "fad shrapnel" where they explode on the scene and get overused and overhyped by the naïve, Resume Oriented Programmers[1], or book/article pushers. One of the most

I'm gonna take vote hits, but truth is needed here. Python Decorators and C#/Java "attributes" are a sham. If their OOP model were powerful enough, they could just use OOP composition to get the same thing and not have t
