He who believes these companies exist as a way for the mass population to voice their opinion and as a way to exercise democracy should rethink what these companies are all about.
Note: I do not necessarily agree with that they do, just pointing out what they are all about.

Big O Notation/Data Structures/Algorithms, ala Dr. Knuth
Proof and theorems
Computer architecture and design (NAND gates and the like)
Language design, interpretation, and implementation
...and much more.
Do not get me wrong, I believe this book is valuable (BIG 'THANK YOU' to Ian Wienand for it). I just wish the title could have been different.

1-minute away to get your bot alive .. maybe should be "bot live"? not sure what you intention was here, but one would use "live" more likely in this context.
"Use it, is free" should be "Use it, it is free" or "User it. It's free". English always requires a pronoun before the verb (with exception)

c4n4rd | 10 years ago | on: Left-pad as a service
What kind of load balancing is being used on the back-end? I called leftpad(str, ch, len) with the length I needed and noticed that is not very scalable because it is blocking.
A better approach I would recommend to those using it is to call the API in a for loop. In my tests, it had performance very close to those I see in C or assembly.
I was a bit turned off that the free version can only handle strings up to 1024 in length. I know you need to make some money, but it is big turn off for a lot of my projects.
Edit: I finally signed up for it but still noticed that I am only allowed to use 1024. I called your customer support line and they said I was calling the API from multiple IP addresses and for that I need an enterprise license. Please help me with this issue, it is very crucial at this point as my project is in a complete stop because of this.

2. You really need to watch a documentary called "The Plea" (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/plea/) to get an insight on how FUCKED UP the "justice" in the USA is.
3. The media and politicians have much to blame here. If you are ever convicted of a crime (even like in the case of a plea bargain) you life is likely over because no one wants to take a chance by hiring a "convict" - Business do not want to take this kind of risk.

I think it is a take on Lua (the scripting language) which means moon.
The pronunciation is like 'Seoul' (South Korean Capital), with the 'e' pronuonced slightly more open as in egg.
