Post nytimes on hackernews...hmmf

The problem set was piss in terms of intelligence had a false assumption of a rational/intelligence dichotomy. Of course it's more likely that she is a bankteller than a bankteller plus (insert whatever). This is probability theory 101. But hey, it is nytimes you're reading so what would one expect anyway.

I was more thinking in these lines:

How rational is it for someone to be outspoken against nuclear energy when there hardly exist any real valid renewable alternative to substitute that energy source to begin with? Do it like Germany and rely on the importation of oil from Russia?

From a more philosophical point of view; the idea that everyone should become a programmer is honestly just plain wrong. I like what these people are doing but I don't think this could/should be done for more serious projects considering the amount of hacking that's going on at more centralized services like google-drive and dropbox. But if that's not their aim then that's all good I guess.

About shared data, can't you just use google spreadsheets?

got alot of spare time?

Seems like they use it for most of the error handling, that's true. Almost as many of these as there are switch statements (and 1/3 of if statements). It would be cool if someone could analyze keywords from different projects. Maybe one could give that as use cases in universites instead, that would seem to be alot more practical.

EDIT: Upon closer inspection it seems like even if 'gotos' make everything nastier the extra added performance is worth it.

Use this on the linux source code

You might reveal your location but the person spying on you would have to be a stalker and a total creep, who basically have no life and nothing interesting to do. That's more scary than taking pictures with reflections IMO

Been using linux distros and ubuntu 12.04 for about 2 years now. Linux is the shit but ubuntu sucks IMO. Very poor customization possibilites. Heavily reliant on python 2.7. Very bad support for other window managers than unity, dont ever try to mess with multiple window managers on ubuntu, it will ruin your week. With WAY FASTER alternative systems such as arch, funtoo, gentoo, knoppix and even debian. I have a hard time understanding how ubuntu could have gained the traction it has among developers.

Well sure but it the net was definitely more oriented to ppl that was into hacking / coding back then compared to now. Mainstream wasn't the net back then.
