Obligatory "Falsehoods programmers believe about time"
I really wish that list would include some explanations about why each line is a falsehood, and what's actually true. Particularly the line:
If the author has proof that some software will run on a space ship that is orbiting a black hole, I'd be really interested in seeing it.
Technically isn't the Earth itself a sort of space ship which is orbiting (...a star which is orbiting...) the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy? Not really close enough for time dilation to be a factor, but still.
