LRFotS took a moment out of his sojourns through East Asia to write in about the utility and usefulness of programming as a skill, and how one might go about learning it in the most time-efficient way possible: Didact, I have been looking into programming for sometime...
As you all know, this past week saw the 248th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence – or, as Amerikhastan’s former colonial masters like to call it, “Treason Day”. I was rather too busy to do anything about it, so here we are,...
