I got into programming through making small games. It was very much a means to an end, a solution oriented path. I personally can't imagine trying to learn programming now in a similar manner to high school math courses, where problems

I always have situations like these in the back of my mind when people try to justify their salaries, their self worth, by arguing they bring value to the world and those who make less don't. (Not saying everyone doesn't genuinely

The comparison may be superficial, but this article really reminds me of the times when I wrote essays for college admissions (not in a good way).

The point I gleamed from the article was not that city driving was an easy problem, but rather that freeway driving has unique issues when it comes to reliability and safety. Simply stopping the car could be an acceptable minimal risk condi

Humans are more than capable of distrust, but I think manipulating people to erroneously trust something is still a threat as long as scams exist. I think a significant factor of individual trust is someone's technical knowledge of how

There's definitely a bunch of crazy unmoderated stuff going down in those places, but it does seem more underground and out of the way unless you specifically look for it. Actually, I'd guess that it's probably easier for peo
