Well it seems one of my favorite magazines has been discontinued – C/C++ Users Journal.
That is one of two magazines I looked forward to seeing, the other magazine is Scientific American.
Both of the magazines generally spawn similar thoughts in my head when reading them… Oh that is cool and Wow I should probably have known that.
I will miss turning to the front and seeing the comments from the DinkumWare dude – P.J. Plauger. He always had some interesting thoughts.
He is the author of a favorite quote of mine that comes to mind when people describe themselves as an expert on something…
My definition of an expert in any field is a person who knows enough about what’s really going on to be scared.
There is something in his last editor’s forum for the mag which I have now also adopted as a good quote
Some people equate cynicism with a lack of dissimulation.
I especially like that quote.
