   According to Lomborg's research it will be cheaper to fix it later. Why spend $1 today if you can wait and spend <$1 tomorrow?

   "a) they'll have that level of affluence and b) that sea levels aren't going to rise more quickly. I don't think either of these things are assured at this point." Look again. Even the most pessimistic predictions shows that Lomborg is prob

   I wonder when Microsoft will start paying attention to these details, I mean F# is supposed to be a 'first class citizen' language in Visual Studio now.

   Someone on Reddit got selected for the scanner, and after getting scanned the TSA proceeded to give him the invasive gope-search too. So it sounds like you might as well 'opt out' of the scanner since it won't save you from having your geni

    Why is a robotic car big and heavy? Surely you'll be delivering pizza via Segway-bots long before you use stuff that flies through the air!

    Probably not anytime soon. The technology is there but it's going to be almost impossible to clear the legal hurdles. Currently you can fly these things as a hobby but you have to be within visual range at all times and there's all sorts of

    You don't have to spend millions on Oracle. You can spend thousands on SQL Server or get PostgreSQL for nothing too.

    Other databases do not have this problem, MySQL is just a particularly bad example of a RDBMS

    I seriously doubt that this is true. SQL databases are extremely easy to adjust. Hell you can add columns on your live database in the middle of the day if you want. Removing data is harder but normally you don't have to delete columns just

    A proper REPL can do a lot of the same stuff you'd use a debugger for, and a whole lot more. With a nice REPL you'll do just fine without a debugger.

    I hope that one day soon our compilers will be smart enough to optimize simple things like this automatically, so we can focus more on writing for clarity. This seems like exactly the kind of thing a next-gen compiler should be able to opti

    I can't even do 40 anymore. When I was in my twenties I did about 4 years of 60 hours a week but those days are over.
