This reminds me of my intro to Computer Science class. My professor started us off with the Peanut Butter & Jelly Algorithm exercise [1]. I loved it. Nothing destroys your confidence quite like seeing a grown woman smash a peanut butter

This is not a judgment on you, or what you did, but I don't know if I'd define that as "reading." I did essentially the same thing you did, but I have always called it "skimming." With articles like this, I ten

This is an interesting project for sure, and I see some great potential. I tried out a few phrases, including the one below that include commonly used words in "toxic" comments, but are not actually insulting anyone. This still ha

I fully agree. Even on topics I feel I know well, she's 1) shown me something I didn't know, and 2) shown me how a "newbie" could see the topic, making it easier for me to help teach/mentor someone else.

I can't recommend this book enough. As a long-time Vim user, I still learned a few things after reading this book. Drew Neil is a pretty awesome person too.

This is not an original opinion, but I love her style of writing. I can feel the pure unadulterated joy at learning these things. Sometimes I learn along with her, sometimes I am seeing an old subject through new eyes. Always, it's wor

PGP would be a problem for high load servers too. "Why not use public-key encryption for everything? At face value, it seems that the existence of public-key encryption algorithms obsoletes all our previous secret-key encryption algori
