The article is an extremely needlessly complicated explanation of a relatively simple principle: symbols are stored once and referenced by pointer, strings are stored multiple times and not so easily compared. Ergo, for many use-cases symbo

Should note that subculture seems to have died out among the youngest set. My little sis claims her high school class didn't have cliques and she's currently "studying" goth culture like an anthropologist. (She wants to

Not exactly sure why this guy thinks that idolizing old art makes him the pinnacle of modern design. Oh, no! No shadows! The (lack of) humanity in it! He's just saying your kitchen should look like a Rembrandt painting, as if that aest
