I agree we need both. Coincidentally I read "Crack my Software"[0] just prior to reading this. So it strikes me this is not unlike the "arms race" with copy-protection and DRM. Where we are the publisher and the NSA is t

I have been waiting so long for this. On the one hand I'm excited. On the other hand there are some series like LoTR and Harry Potter that I went ahead and re-bought. So that's frustrating, although on the third hand I got some va

Racket remains special at a deeper level, AFAICT. At first glance, it's a wonderful, modern, practical Lisp with many batteries included. Which it is. You can use it as just that. But also, it is a remarkable language for making langua

I don't have stats on % of frivolous lawsuits for patents vs. employment matters. I'll be generous and stipulate there are fewer bogus employment claims. But it's not 0%. In the U.S. legal system, you can sue anyone for anyth
