Ruby modules are not necessarily related to filenames, especially since you can reopen a module definition to add some more functionality into it. Along with other monkey-patching methods, that can make it difficult to find where the fuck things are defined. Don't get me wrong; I love monkey-patching when I'm dealing...

"I was often one of them" A random A+ doesn't make you a good programmer. And if you didn't see a difference between how long it takes between programmers to do assignments you are either feigning ignorance or weren't paying attention. It is very well documented that people differ on time constraints in programming. ...

Instead of global variables, why not pass return values as parameters to each function as needed? With tuples it's very easy to fake multivalue returns (`a, b = read()`), and you'd end up with a clean and more functional approach.

The shootout benchmark Fortran code looks nice an neat. Could a beginner Fortran programmer (but experienced C++) write such nice and fast code or are years of experience required to understand any nuances so that significantly slower code isn't written using the "optimise last" approach?

The key is to both read *and* program. If you just read stuff, you'll become an astronaut architect who has a buzzwordy acronym for every problem. If you just program, you'll miss out on some cool new ideas (or cool old ideas). Like excercise and dieting, they're meant to go together. Good luck!

Ah, the SAL "opcode" you mention is an undocumented opcode. It's a bit strange to call the first SHL and the second SAL, when officially the first opcode is for both SHL and SAL, and the second one is completely undocumented, but works the same as the first. Calling it SAL is more a quirk of disassemblers than of the ...

There's no way that FORTRAN is actually faster at numerical computation than C or C++, either - not as a language. At best, a FORTRAN compiler can be better at emitting code optimized for particular cases. However, it is arguably more readable... but a well-designed and tuned C++ math library will be even more readable...

The biggest problem with Fortran: the compilers. It is not hard to create F90/F95 code that only works on only 1 of the popular compilers (ifort, pgf90, gfortran, g95, etc).
