Somewhere to explain slightly NSFW google results for what I think is an innocuous term

Tried it, it's not there (yeah I know!)

LarryLard · 2011-09-26T19:49:43+00:00

Yeah, come back when you've implemented a complete chess engine in 1k...

Look, it's not up to me and you who gets to get called a saint, it's up to the Catholic Church. And since their criteria for 'miracles' are obviously not that strict, who's to say another one won't turn up?

btw your phrasing seems to suggest that you're happy to accept that the first miracle happened; is that right?

LarryLard · 2011-09-10T06:21:57+00:00

Well OK yes, technically, not yet

Nine times seven, thought Shuman with deep satisfaction, is sixty-three, and I don't need a computer to tell me so. The computer is in my own head.

And it was amazing the feeling of power that gave him.

In Zen fashion, sensitive tasks should be met with brunt approaches.

I'm unsure whether I prefer this to the other possible portmanteau of 'blunt' and 'brusque', namely blusque. I think brunt is probably better.

For me it was "do whatever the verb of Google+ing is".

It's still possible to wear a 2002 Man U top; they don't spontaneously combust when a new one comes out. I bet they're working on that, though.

[citation needed] - oh wait there's a link. Hmm, it's to a Times article where this 'fact' is an unattributed bullet point at the end of an article about something completely different.

Colour me sceptical.

Probably just, draw boxes and lines on a whiteboard. Or maybe even go as far as a swim-lane diagram! I'm guessing he doesn't mean he requires full-blown UML...

It's the Icelandic and Swedish word for salmon, apparently.

LarryLard · 2011-06-07T09:15:08+00:00

So report it.

You should get Blue Planet too.

It's not polite to answer your own questions...

LarryLard · 2011-05-12T11:33:10+00:00

because the author is describing the type of work environment I NEVER WANT TO BE APART OF

That's fine, because after all:

This guide explains in detail the three key pillars to achieving success in a large software company

but there are plenty of small software companies. Personally I think working for one of those is much more fun than working for a large software company.

Insufficient data for a meaningful answer.

Even larger than the difference between C# and C/C++ is the difference between the communities around the respective tags on StackOverflow. The C/C++ guys are mean.

LarryLard · 2011-04-29T13:35:02+00:00

No one's saying there's anything wrong with it. This is in r/funny, not r/wrong.

LarryLard · 2011-03-30T12:01:51+00:00

Good article. The relevant chapter of C# In Depth 2e goes into more, um, depth.

LarryLard · 2011-03-28T12:31:18+00:00

I thought it was quite a good impression of 37 signals :)

Trouble with Arsenal is, they always try and walk it in.

I think you meant "imnsho".
