They're probably smart enough to get "things beyond programming" from other sources wouldn't you say?

Discussing religion (again), why women are cold, what 'adolescence' means, is not hacking IMHO. There is more than enough of that sort of thing elsewhere.

No. But similarly, there's more that interests the average hacker than programming and programming articles. I tend not to find the programming articles as interesting, actually.

There's an equilibrium here. Some weeks we get lots of programming articles and nothing else. Some weeks we get only Linux articles, or only Google articles. Some weeks we get a lot of "off topic" stuff.

So far things haven't gotten too out-of-hand. I think things are still ticking along pretty nicely.
