I’ll stick my neck out and say SICP has never been relevant to me. I’ve tinkered from embedded, to OS, to databases, to desktop applications, drivers, compilers, web applications, …

I’m confused. Who is this “We”? Do you realize how behind in many respects most of Europe is? How it’s been parceled up and destroyed by the EU? Science projects led by a few count…

Software development isn’t engineering and it has never been. Software developers aren’t engineers. I don’t know why this keeps coming up, maybe slow news day. It’s okay to be pass…

Software “engineer”[0] here. There are plenty of developers that are very rational about programming languages. I think the author lived in a weird bubble for most of their life ju…

In reading many C code bases, including the Linux kernel, every one finds a use case for macros of this nature.

The internet is making everyone feel like what most of us nerds used to feel like. Good riddance, I’d say

Yes. People have quit HN. Very valuable people who found the shift in community was distasteful and appalling. I don’t consider YT social media myself because there’s nothing socia…
