There's a study that shows that when you read the first time through a book, you learn some amount of the information, but when you reread it the second time, your brain only recognizes that this is familiar information…

The Köppen climate types is a typing of climate. Goyder's Line is a dichotomy of climate. Some scientist expert took Goyder's line and created a generality from that particular: climates with more than 250mm of rain…

Java boasts it has automatic memory management. But you have to close files after using them. That's manual memory management!

It is possible to rewrite any data structure without using ciecular references, so reference counting is looking appealing to me. What is the fastest and most efficient way to implement reference counting?

Look at the types of fundamental particles. There's no nice symmetric number of types of fundamental particles (like a prime power, or a highly composite number such as 72). Types that occur in the universe are usually…

Objects are really prototypes, not true types. So they should be subsumed under a type system (preferably not one that just types them ass as "object") instead of being made equal to types.

Someone told me that because C's semantics are based off of the PDP-11 architecture (division of memory into stack & heap), therefore all modern architectures are basically simulations of the PDP-11. What are the ways…

There are (at least) four types of interfaces that occur in programming. Type #1. Command line. "foo --bar --baz". You step into the program, and then step out of it. Type #2. REPL. You step into a program, do…

It takes fifty lines to create a dialogue with a button. Why? Is there some kind of theorem in computational complexity that this is a strict lower bound?

Don't say functional. It combines the power of abstract mathematics with the learning curve of abstract mathematics. Any programming paradigm that requires me to write a dissertation to use shouldn't morally speaking…
