Not to be pedantic or anything, but what do you mean by "dept"? It's an honest question. Are you referring to debt or is it a different concept I'm not familiar with?

Many developers in the world don't live in SV and they are not privileged young white males. Care to get out of your bubble once in a while?

No offense but the tone of your post screams 'butthurt'. Leave your national pride and various statistics-based pissing contests out of this (and the sour grapes argument is completely emotion-based and irrelevant). There are many

I live in Tokyo and I absolutely love walking. I sometimes do 10-15 km a day easily. There are so many small interesting back alleys and hidden nooks and crannies here that you could spend half a lifetime exploring this city and still not f

Living in a re-purposed warehouse, subsisting on ramen and not knowing whether you'll be able to pay for food tomorrow seems like a very high price to pay just to be physically close to something that mostly lives just as an idea in th

Sorry to say this but it sounds like you're just trying to come up with any and all excuses to shoot down a valid idea.

I have already offered my opinion in the parent post but here goes again: > There is no risk in being thrown in jail because of data mining Not now. What about in 20 years when the concept of thoughtcrime finds its way into the legal sys

So is this going to work on Linux?

To me it just underscores that even a lot of smart people don't really think about far reaching consequences of data mining. Sure, most people don't care that [insert company here]'s algorithms are crawling your data and send

Universe is just a complex digital state machine transitioning from one state to another. This existence is digital in nature.

The property of the universe to become capable of self reflection after billions of years of non-intervention is just mind blowing. Life is the most amazing thing. It's as if life and consciousness are inherent emergent properties of c

It's just a beautiful piece of fiction, not a computer program. No need to draw parallels with how software works, it's kind of pointless.

I speak Japanese and 形 is just a normal word to me. I don't see it as militant at all. In fact, I find it offensive that someone is so culturally self-centered and solipsistic as to demand changes to language using a perfectly neutral

I'd like to know this as well. I know many female karate practitioners and not a single one ever proposed changing the traditional Japanese nomenclature because she didn't feel "welcome" or felt "excluded" or e

> If it wasn't for nationalism everyone would hug and be friends? Did I ever say that? If I did, please point out where. Absence of one type of divide doesn't imply that there wouldn't be others. But the less the better.

It's one thing to recognize your civilizational and societal achievements as good, useful and constructive and therefore love them and cherish them. Nothing wrong with positive self evaluation. Whoever sees a problem with that is an an

Seconded. Nationalism is just outdated tribalism that requires you to put your societal overlords' agendas above your own. When they call for you to go to war and kill your brothers and sisters from different places, you do it. When th

There is no concept of "dereferencing" in C# because there are no pointers. Technically it is possible to force the environment to allow you to write unsafe code but I've never seen this in reality and I'm having a hard
