I am well aware of that as I had my own trouble learning Smalltalk. Yet in hindsight I like the clean design of the language. Nevertheless, I find the argument on their website kinda odd and a bit confusing. I mean, I see a lot of Smalltalk

> It is very easy to learn... > This Mooc is demanding but rewarding... So the language is easy to learn and yet the course to learn it is demanding? Interesting logic... Nevertheless, probably a good exercise for anybody who wants to

Well, I think many people don't want to understand that ambitious targets are most likely to be missed. So missing the target is actually what is going to happen and the real question is by how much. So some might ask, why setting a

I think the biggest pro for PHP is its simplicity. By default you don't have to care about the server. You just place some text-files in a web server directory and open a website, easy. And dynamic languages tend to be easier accessibl

Well, I think there are more factors to earlier dying night shift workers than just their sleep cycle. To name a few: - less sunlight (vitamin D) - lower payment - lower education Those might all affect the life expectancy and if night shif

So and how about the people who would like to have the mentally intense stuff early in the morning? For example, I have the clearest mind about 5 minutes after I got out of bed.

Then humans must be different in that respect. In fact, I changed my sleep schedules multiple times in the last two years alone (from getting up at 6am to going to bed at 6am). The only constant seems to be that I require 8 hours of sleep.

So how did you solve your sleep disorder?

You might want to try Linux. As long as you don't compile your system with options optimized for your CPU and stay away from binary graphics drivers, you can pretty much boot it on every desktop PC hardware you like without any need fo

After using it for half a minute I love it already!!! One thing I am missing thought is the ability to hide sub-nodes within the mind map. Thanks for sharing :-)

Well, risks are always about probability of occurrence and impact. So while it is unlikely that some GM plant causes some catastrophic scenario, but when it does it is likely to spread so the impact would be big. I know that unknown threats

Well, the difference is that we aren't living in the web. So even if the web goes down, the rest of the internet is still there and even without the internet we would survive. So if we would live within the web, I would certainly deman

I think there are lots of problems with GM stuff. It all starts with 'We have only one earth'. The vacuum of space combined with the stickiness of matter isolates biological systems very well. So if someone would start a genetical

Yeah, but I find it kinda hard to keep up with their development speed. Every year or so, I find out about Google having introduced a new option which is on by default and that Google has started collecting data from me again.

While I understand your point, your argument has very little foundation. You are basically saying: "Everything works very well and if a judge decides something you should respect that, as he has good reason to judge it his way". O

I doubt that. Kicking the Rom builders out of the Android Eco-System would probably cause the rise of a new mobile OS. So as long as Google doesn't want to end its monopoly they won't do that.

Yes, its kinda funny, I mean package managers are probably the ones with the most solid experience in dependency management and when I look at them I can see many different concepts at work there. Some like for example pacman are bold and a

Well, the way I remember it, there were a lot of people telling you to skip KDE 4.0 and wait for 4.1 at the time of the 4.0 release and I was pretty sure that there was some warning in the release notes. So I took a look at them again: htt

I am pretty sure you mean 3->4. KDE5 was so smooth, that you were wondering why they were talking about a major release. The problem with the KDE4 was that people were adopting it too early. I started to use it with the first alpha and s

Completely agree. I am a long term KDE user and I like (and use) the PIM stuff in general but since a few years the quality continues to degrade. Akregator (RSS-Feed Reader) has reached the point were it destroys its feed list every few wee
