After fiddling with gnunet for too long I'm wondering if the code you don't write will or will not solve the NSA spying problem. I'm in the will not camp so far because gnunet isn't working, and even if it connected to

Good question. Why revisit the software that runs things like the segway, the space station, the pace maker, the artificial kidney, and a DVR? Maybe if you want to build a new one, maybe for "security", or maybe you just want to

Because it seems to emphasize doing over thinking. Maybe not a bad idea, but in the context of the comments about blackwater, immoral and illegal things, and indoctrinating fresh grads it sounded spooky.

Thanks for posting that video. Seems to me he's an expert because of his struggles, and this supports the idea of learning more from failure than success.

Is anything really established in PL research? Is goto really considered harmful? Golang also differs from Java in some obvious low level ways.

Any function changes the state of your machine, and you have to pretend your computer doesn't have memory or registers in order for this pure function side effect free stuff to make sense. When you said "know 100%" my ability to accept abs

>You have 24 hours a day to work on your problems, the doctor has about 20 minutes. So if you're not an expert on your particular situation, then you're pretty well screwed. That sounds reasonable enough.

The real downside of go is that it didn't exist when Java arrived. It would have made a much better intro to CS language than Java. Then Android wouldn't have decided to use Java because so many new programmers used it in school.

No trivial feat? It seems to me that managers would be more willing to gamble than a typical programmer. But I still agree with you. I'd like to see a post about how someone switched to go from cobol.

It's funny (or annoying) how charts invite criticism and feature creep. Thanks for an interesting chart. What did you do to cut down on lying human classifiers? Do you give them an incentive? Did you have them vote as a group on the class
