Programming Styles
Shotgun Programming It is a programming style where the developer tries random shots at the code. “Well, this method call is failing…. I’ll try changing this parameter from false to true!” Then of course it doesn’t work and the developer goes: “Well, maybe I could just comment out the whole method call!” and so on. It can go on forever until it...

Impressing your friends during finals week
onetwosixohfour: Finals are your last chance to prove to your professors that you’re not stupid.  But, let’s face it, finals are also your chance to make your friends (a) feel sorry for you, (b) feel guilty for having less work than you, and/or (c) feel guilty for not having finished as much work as you have.  As a computer science major, I know a thing or two about social interactions, so...

Mathematicians Create Algorithm So Complex No... →
Quantum computers, which would rely on quantum mechanical concepts like superposition and entanglement to perform operations of unimaginable complexity, remain a pipe dream. But physicists have nevertheless come up with an algorithm that only quantum computers could use. The newest algorithm, developed by Aram W. Harrow of the University of Bristol in England and Avinatan Hassidim and Seth...

Geek Theology
ayiie: In the beginning, God created the bit. And the bit was a zero. On the first day, he toggled the 0 to 1, and the Universe was. (In those days, bootstrap loaders were simple, and “active low” signals didn’t yet exist.) On the second day, God’s boss wanted a demo, and tried to read the bit. This being volatile memory, the bit reverted to a 0. And the universe wasn’t. God learned the...
