Why is this #1 on the front page? And how is it useful? I think a common pitfall for techies is amassing lots of useless knowledge (a habit I have weaned myself off over the last few years).
Do you know how useless I find knowledge about Rails? Utility is relative, and sometimes things are just interesting.
I don't know why it's #1 though. Maybe pg's skewing the numbers against all the NSA content? Maybe people are just upvoting anything that's not NSA/Snowden/etc?
