Re:What Every Computer Science Major Should Know

People may be used to different technologies. Many of us just google or see the doc on the fly for such trouble shooting or configuring settings.
But these types of skills/knowledge is different from understanding a computer scientist would require. I would be more worried if someone who claims to know networking doesn't know popular protocols or algorithms like for example the sliding window protocol.
The issues you face in designing, understanding and analyzing such algorithms will change you more than understanding where windows stores the setting to configure one of their protocol parameters.

This may work with narration but the text in itself ,at least for me, is completely useless.
I think other attempts from "Manga Guide" series and even the "Transnational College of LEX" series are far more effective than this one.
Re:The Google Plus 50 (ideas)

The author seems too optimistic in many occasions. Case in point: "You don’t need Quora, if you can ask detailed questions in G+ and share them with specific Circles, etc." doesn't really resonate with me. Many of these platforms(stackoverflow, metaoptimize, quora) rely on the expertise of strangers.

On a related note, I read somewhere that Godel was the only person Russell believed had read and understood "Principia Mathematica" besides the author themselves.

Re:Systems Programming with Racket
on Monday May 02, 2011 @02:15PM (#2507240)
Racket has an awesome macro system and people have managed to do amazing things with it.
This paper(http://www.ccs.neu.edu/scheme/pubs/scheme2007-ctf.pdf) demonstrates how they made an explicitly-typed dialect of the dynamically typed language Racket.
Truly awesome stuffs.

"He requested that I not only remove the archive from Dropbox but delete my posts on Hacker News, which at that point included the fake DMCA takedown."
What you tried to do there is censor and resorted to fake legal repercussions. You can brush it aside saying that it was a mistake but it is still uncool for a corporation to do that to an individual.

It's interesting to see you evade all questions and get to a personal attack.
This is my first job after graduation and I am sure I am earning more than you did after at least 15 years in the industry.
I know the history of compilers you fucktard. I didn't expect you to program using Grace Hopper's compiler so I gave you Fortran to play with instead. COMPILERS WERE AVAILABLE BEFORE YOU BORN YOU ILLITERATE.
Why don't you pick up a programming book, any programming book. A real one. Not a J2EE one. Pick up let's say Wand et al's "Essentials of Programming Language" and try to solve f the problems. If you can solve them, come back and talk to me. Then you tell me the value of concentrated, mentored, rigorous learning.

These two are the works of very very smart programmers:

2. The Chromium source

* A 43 year old guy who claims to have been programming before the compiler, when compilers actually came out in 1957.
* A guy who can't even defend his ideas and gets defensive when his lack of education is called out and resorts to ad hominem attacks.
* A guy who has no clue about what happens in a good CS program disses the program and tries to defend his poorly researched knowledge with attacks on the person.
* A 43 year old who apparently kills billion dollar deals writing LOL on the internet and spending time looking at the user history.
I have never met a bigger jackass than you. I just started out in the industry but I am more mature, honest and I can guarantee to be a better programmer and a person than you are.
Fucking illiterate, old blow-hard.
