If you look at the energy expenditures for maintaining a library over a decade, let alone a century, a paper book would be far more environmentally friendly. I'm not so sure. The longer a book is in existence, the more expensive it i

Right, except you don't have the right to do that. Which means nothing. Whether people have the right to or not, they can do it with absolutely no personal repercussions, so they do. Lecturing and ranting and wishing things were diff

I have observed a general frustration that good developers (who are in high demand) still need to do well in an interview setting. I'm not sure it's frustrating so much as it is humiliating. Programmers (especially good ones) ha

You (along with everyone else) have a set of implicit biases Which you can correct for without ever meeting the person in question or taking into account their gender, color or age. How do you not know these things in a small startup? I

It sounds like you just want to discount all of the arguments of one side for being 'ideological'. There are more than two sides to any discussion and not all sides are equally correct.

How should decisions about a society be made? The way they've always been made: a combination of social and economic pressures. "Social engineering" is a misnomer. The phrase makes us think we can engineer humans into creat

I always thought any ideology was dangerous, something to be shunned. Same here. It's a great way of not having to think for yourself, though. The success of ideologies throughout history makes me think it exploits a mental vulnerabi

80% of people are consumers, 20% are producers. Throughout history, that percentage has remained more or less constant. I don't think the next generation's usage of the internet is going differ much from the current generation. 80

Good, but slow. Even most of the autocomplete solutions I've used in VIM fall in that category. The only one that doesn't is exuberant ctags and that's because it's not intelligent; it does tag lookups and nothing more.
