"How does Tesla benefit it?" Are you seriously questioning the benefits of electric cars in a discussion that started with an article saying "hey maybe we should stop dumping carbon into the atmosphere, it looks like doing th

"If a cataclysm on Earth ever makes inhabiting it even remotely as hard as making Mars habitable, then we've already lost." Damn. That's disappointing. Here I was thinking that 4 billion years before the sun enters its r

"it’s just so far into the future that we should not yet be doing that" You're probably right. And 640K aught to be enough for anybody, too ;)

Don't forget the stupendous amount of energy from that big ball of hydrogen that hits it every second.

"resource-intensive project like life on Mars" "I don't take this perspective seriously" Yeah. They say "resource-intensive" like we're not spending many MANY more resources on making big sticks to sh

Dear "Earth", > Mars can wait. I can’t. When you say things this ignorant, it almost makes me want another theia-sized object to slam into you at a relative velocity of kilometers per second to teach you a lesson. How many ex

Have you thought about giving up on the education part of it and just diving straight into a career? I don't have a degree, and I've found that in most circumstances that doesn't matter very much at all. If you have examples

Quit. Developers need full access to their machines or they are stifled. This organisation is not interested in you doing quality work. Your options are therefore to either resign yourself to not doing quality work, or leave that organisati

I know right. The person who posted this article should have hit up a search engine before wasting all of our time. Very dickish behaviour.

It could also come from having spent thousands of hours dealing with issues created by this type of person. There's nothing wrong with being new to coding, not knowing things, and making mistakes - it's how we learn - but when you

>Why can't I write code inside my browser? um... because you didn't press ctrl-shift-I? But frankly, if you can't manage to install ruby and think $PATH is somehow complicated or scary, I don't want you writing code.

This would be cool as an RSS feed, with each article a new entry, but in it's current form it's not something I'd subscribe to: * I don't just give out my email address * I don't want 4 emails per week, that's

damn, that's not a bad effort, I like it. But it does sort of feel like cheating ;) Mine is about 140 lines of bash, and I don't /think/ i'm using anything that isn't part of coreutils.

I still search ebay for a3000s and a4000s every now and then. I want both. I think the machine I want more than anything is an A4000 with a video toaster. But 3000s and 4000s don't come along very often (at least in my country) and the

My Amiga 2000. I love it with all my heart. It'll still be going strong when your modern doohickeys become totally useless due to planned-obselescence. It'll outlive me.
