Bad example. Star Citizen is actually delivering, and has daily progress updates. IMHO, it's exactly how a multi-million $ Kickstarter should be run. Contrast that with a $500,000 video game I backed with much more modest deliverable expectations: not an update in over a year. I'm pretty sure I'm out that money, but I understood that going it. Of the 11+ projects I have backed, it was the only one that turned into a turd. Then again, I try to be careful about what I back.
"We could attract more women to infosec if we fool them into thinking it's not really infosec." Guys, Dice, get it through your thick skulls: the ladies just aren't into you. Accept their decision and move on.
I believe the abject fear of goto has fundamentally damaged the last 20 years of CS graduates. Having avoided goto completely, they are unable to conceptualize any programming logic lower than 4GL, much less optimize their higher-level code for it. I personally think we should go back to using IF and GOTO as first concepts for child programming, and build understanding of higher-level control flow from there.
Fox News regularly plugs pro-H1B establishment candidates. They aren't conservative; they're pro business. At times that may align with conservative causes, but that is not the case here.
Nope. The mileage is similar: 15 million km of arctic ice vs 18 million km in Antarctica, but the ice is twice as thick in the arctic (2 m vs 1 m). I misstated when I said "order of magnitude" though. It's a solid multiple, IMHO.
Actually the explanation is easy. It was refreezing molten ice. That is sweet water on top of salt water.
This is mostly conjecture; while we have abundant data for ice extent over the decades, we have little data of ice thickness. The abstract on this paper suggests that the extent and thickness of the antarctic is increasing year over year, albeit at a lower rate than the decrease in the arctic. This is the critical point, because arctic ice is an order of magnitude greater than antarctic ice.
Yes, you're correct. The limit for IFComp is 2 hours of game-play. It can be longer, but only the first two hours can be played before judging (this is on the honor system; I confess to breaking this rule a couple times for exceptional entries).
Inform 7 is needed because, as it turns out, real programmers (/raise hand) write shitty IF. So now actual writers are giving it a go, and are doing considerably better, IMHO.
The quality of IF in these contests pretty much blows any MUD I've played out of the water. This is really about storytelling, and a MUD has too much of the MMO aspect to effectively tell a story. As an aside, a couple years back I gave top marks to an IF game with the most atrocious spelling and grammar I have ever seen, and bugs, to boot. But the story absolutely grabbed me; just fantastic. Most times, though, the winners are top-notch writers. It's like you're part of a really well-written novel.
No, these are apt. There are times where intercessory prayer for a test build is needed, and others where a grieving stake holder needs to be told their beloved application has passed on to a better system.
Also, that thicker atmosphere's convection current generates an intense magentosheath that protects from solar winds. In a way, Venus's atmosphere is self-bootstrapped.

But kudos for pointing it out.
We used a cork-board and index cards. We ran scrum for 8 years with an initial start-up cost of $20. We didn't ditch that until we switched to TFS.
Scrum works best when you break it and make it yours. As with ANY methodology, do not allow process to interfere with progress.
No. I don't post AC.
95% of Australian rabbits think this is a fantastic idea. Let's YOLO this shit.
You don't read the news, then.
Your own quote does not back you up. Analogies are not equivalencies. Furthermore, this particular analogy is apt.
It doesn't need to be assembly. For the most part, you can still teach low level concepts in a high-level language.

The summary is correct. He is against all immigration, both refugee and otherwise.

Fox News is completely in the tank for H1B expansion, so your warning does really mean much.
Won't someone think of the billionaires and politicians?

That's a 6-digit UID you're replying to. But on the bright side, we have 50% less goatse.

No, you're thinking of xenomorphs. Isomorphs are the miracle AI folks hunted by C.L.U. 2.0.
