I meant to suggest instead that we fix languages, and now that I think of it .net's linq is not bad.

Yeah, and I assume there are limits to the indifference to traction too. If you stumble in reeking of pot and looking like you haven't bathed in a week but you have 300% CMGR I imagine something might still happen.

"Not to traction" is a wow for me. I think a tl;dr would be that early stage investing is more of a social decision about who and what you want to help than a rational decision ala the mythical "homo economicus."

I can't tell satire anymore. It's hard to come up with any more absurd than the real world.

My guess would be that like-tweet.js is a trash file left over in the repo from someone's testing. Still this post does illustrate the alarming nature of software dependency hell and how who-knows-what sort of code might easily be slip

NoSQL is driven more by scaling issues than anything else. Joins and strong consistency are awesome but run head first into the CAP theorem and other concerns like single node performance on a sharded cluster. There is also the fact that no

Updaters are probably the scariest thing I've written. It's like sending a space probe to another planet with the risk of losing it out there with no recourse, not to mention the security implications and inherent responsibility o

I was referring to the popular reaction, not legal implications or moral realities. The general public tends not to see this as being as serious when the victim is male.

I'm afraid I kind of agree. What brought me over to Thiel's side on this particular issue (at least mostly) was when I realized that Gawker's publication of a sex tape in this way would be considered a sex crime if the victim

I have to second this. I am a huge skeptic of the 80-120 hour work week. In my experience it results in a lot of sound and fury but the results are of lower quality with little creativity or insight. It also leads to emotional problems and

When I saw how privacy hostile and generally manipulative the whole mobile revolution was, I knew it was coming to other platforms too. There is just too much money to be made in surveillance and targeted advertising, especially since margi

Think about the metaphor: an invisible cloud of poison being sprayed from far above us and descending over the entire population to make us sick and control our minds. There is such a thing but it is dispersed through radio, TV, and the Int

These kinds of efforts were always doomed by Moore's law. Why build them if you can wait 5 years and then build something of equivalent power with commodity hardware? If Moore's law really is ending I could see that changing.

I read it as "cannot currently be explained." I didn't think it was so bad. The rest of the article was kind of crummy though. Science journalism sucks.

Hey on the bright side it's not like any of our existing socioeconomic systems are great. Last I checked we did not live in a utopia.

I've been fascinated for a long time by just how much effective autodidactism there is in software vs. other fields. There are tons of people who have made major contributions here that are completely self-taught. Software is uniquel

Does anyone actually give you a real /64? The NDP proxy hack is easy: https://github.com/DanielAdolfsson/ndppd See also: https://www.zerotier.com/community/topic/69/default-route-ov.

I've found vultr.com to have solid IPv6. They give you a true /64 that can (with NDP proxying) be fully routed back into your VPS. It just works. Does DO really not give you a /64? I see prefixlen 64 on my eth0 on one of my &

In building a startup I've found that users who complain more tend to be more interested and engaged. People who aren't interested won't complain because they are not interested. Of course we also have happy users who never c

I really wish Bandcamp had something to compete with Apple Music's curated streaming stuff. I'd pay for that, especially if I could also apply filters like location, etc. That would be really interesting. I'm not a fan of str

The same perverse incentive underlies all marketing. If you tell the truth and make sane claims you lose to flash, grandiosity, and viral gimmicks. Over time the whole system runs over a cliff. It's sort of a game theory meltdown thing
