The article is funny, and the cynicism adds to the humor. But as someone who was on the faculty market last year, I have to say it is not at all representative of Computer Science. CS depts are still growing, and are helped by the growing n

First, I'm so glad that there are so many NFL fans on HN. Now to the article; its going to be like getting your news from blogs. When you make something accessible to the masses, the quality gets diluted .. but I'm certain it makes things m

I find this line of discussion dubious. What you want to know is _not_ if he has spent hours preparing but if what he is saying is correct/the best way to explain something. He might be so gifted that everything just comes to him. Or he mig

It might be interesting to have different levels of abstraction, especially for code. Many times, I'm more interested in looking at how the overall design/interfaces of a module change rather than the code inside a method. I might think of
