Adderall raises one's blood pressure to a dangerous level. It is smarter to avoid such drugs and at most rely on caffeine. Work smartly, not like a maniac.

"You try to hire people you could become friends with" is a profoundly stupid maxim. People who come from conservative and religious societies will always be pressured by friends to not make new friends who are of different ethnic

In my experience talking with Stanford alums and just walking around the Stanford campus most people there appear to be already rich. It is not Berkeley, where regular people go.

You're missing a key point. What makes Linux usable is that it has numerous drivers written for it... written in C. An OS's core is not supremely difficult to write. But the drivers are... Much specialized knowledge is required.

Someone to come up with a list of 10 reforms for C, nail it to Kernighan's or Ritchie's front door, and start a new language sect.

MISRA is a bloated mess from the accounts I've seen, no doubt to encourage paying for it. If u remove all the filler and padding the substantial part may be 40 rules. There should be a new C that obviates the substantial parts of MISRA

Jon Evans, master complainer. C could be improved, but the amount of important C code out there (Linux...) militates against adopting a new C. Is someone going to pay to switch over the code base? Ultimately if a newer, tighter, safer C is

I've watched maybe 7 videos about him. Musk is too eager to throw employees under the bus. It is this reason alone why I'd never buy a tesla.

These outsourcing companies and the organizations that hire them practice a kind of diversity that benefits only the 1%, which they accomplish by throwing American workers under the bus. Example: http://www.computerworld.com&#x2F

Bill Gates could quite possibly be a moron. World government would only concentrate corruption in one place, out of the reach of common people like us. Such a government would be by the corporations for the corporations-- even more than Was

It's a little annoying to see the author retell the story of Toyota's prius acceleration problem as if it were a defect with the peddle. We know now that it was a problem with spaghetti code firmware, lack of testing, & poor

In other words, the science part is bogus. It should be called Computing Studies. That way they could keep the acronym CS which everyone seems to like. Computer science is about as useful a term as polymorphism (borrowed from biology). It s

Google should be thinking in terms of switching android away from Java toward either Objective-C, which is very popular, or C++. This would be a very large and costly change but the longer they wait the higher the costs rise. Furthermore th

Is computer science really a science? Is there any part of the computer science community (academia or otherwise) that is using the scientific method and experimentation?

To me the key question is whether these checks are anonymous. If not -- if Firefox or a plug-in is sending a unique ID, than any advertiser or government agency could pay for that tracking information and then your privacy would be toast, a
