cjubb39··on Why Do So Many Zippers Say YKK? (2012)
I learned that YKK was a thing from Outkast
cjubb39··on Ten Years of Git: An Interview with Linus Torvalds
Last summer, a project I was working on used hg. Missing partial staging is the only reason I haven't completely switched over from git.
cjubb39··on Did dark matter do in the dinosaurs?
Time to break out Betteridge's law again?
cjubb39··on The vault where Harvard keeps millions of books
Perhaps it's best described just as an infinite-sized cache. I would assume they have enough request to very rarely be idle.
cjubb39··on How the 'John Oliver Effect' Is Having a Real-Life Impact
That's part of the reason I never really liked Jon Stewart. He knew he was the primary, if not only, news source for a large demographic; yet, he would consistently hide behind the Comedy Central logo in the bottom corner when he was criticized.

It's like he felt he---and only he---was allowed to turn on and off his "real" journalist at whim.

cjubb39··on Memcpy vs. memmove
Yeah, looks like it's for function alignment padding. It's a pretty common thing at the end of functions to have the next function start on a specific boundary. (even if the first function doesn't fall into the other)

I haven't tested, but I'd bet good money that 12 NOPs would be faster than a jmp.

cjubb39··on C Pointers Explained, Really (2012)
> Lol, what the heck? Troll or astro-turfed? Where can you get a CS Master's Degree and on only four years of programming?

Introduced to computer science / programming halfway through undergrad 2 years ago. Going to finish up a masters next fall. (3 and some change years after I started)
