With regards to > Measuring per capita carbon being better... It is not clear to me why this makes sense. If person A drive 2 miles per day in an SUV, and another person B drives 100 miles per day in a sedan -- person B pollutes more. Wh

I always thought that writing a non-trivial library that is accepted into Boost, would be like being accepted into a priesthood (for C++ programmers). In the sense that the standards are very high, and seem to require at least 3 things: exp

Thank you for your work. One less patent troll, one small step towards a better economy. Two questions: a) what would you recommend, if anything, around personal activism to help to advance the system of patent laws (in US markets) It seems

I agree that Bezos's/ Wash Post disposition relative to the anti-President coup, likely had to be important consideration. As I noted, 10s of millions of tax payers consider Washington Post is not a newspaper, but a propaganda age

There was a monologue on exact same subject by Tucker Carlson, may be half a year ago or more, and it was somewhat US-centric. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7OS2o-mMg0 It has been thoroughly laughed at, though, by hosts

People mention that ICE polices are Obama-era polices, because it shows something. It shows that the people in US, are influenced, to a large degree by selective outrage. Selective outrage, is not just a sign of intellectual dishonesty. Sel

Taking down a software dependency, knowing that it will break production software build/release process -- is sabotage. Allowing dependent users to make a copy, and making this say 2-3 week allowance -- would be appropriate.
