   One thing I've realized about the Linux community through all this systemd flame warring is how unbelievably conservative a large subsection of it is. There's this huge so-called "neckbeard" continent that views anything

   Resurgence? This was the DJ's role in the electronic music scene going back to the 90s, back when everyone spun vinyl. Just saying this isn't new at all there.

   The big thing is: do I use var() or just var? I still am not sure exactly what the pattern is there. It's in the "hack and try it out" territory-- irritating. But overall Knockout has less irritation than other frameworks I&#

   I love Knockout. It's no more complex than it needs to be to get the job done, and works amazingly well. The new version supports reusable control element templates. It does have some syntactic inconsistency around how you have to refe

   Uber is also the most staggering fund raising machine I have ever seen. Make of that what you will.

   "inability to make more money than the employer charges for fees/housing/..." You could argue that America has this as a de facto result of real estate speculation. In any given region, real estate has a tendency to infl

   Without even examining the product, several things come to mind: (1) TCP hacks or tweaks to be more aggressive. Note that this might harm performance on busy links even if it helps on calm ones... lots of trade-offs here. TCP bundling is a

   As someone with some experience, and who ran around in counterculture circles where such things were common years ago, I would offer a more tempered view. LSD is not chemically addictive and is basically non toxic in that there is no known

    IMHO religion has little to do with spirituality. I'm not necessarily saying it's all bad, just that it's all about politics, philosophy, enforcing a certain set of norms to allow cooperation, etc. The relationship of religio

    I'd say of the three losing the laptop would be the worst. I would be unable to do any of my work at all, and the comm functions of the phone could technically be made up by the laptop and a dumb phone. Laptop: essential like indoor pl

    I think that's a poor analogy. Desktop isn't dead at all. It's very much live in the way farming and electricity generation are alive -- very important and critical but not growing rapidly. It's a "mature" mark

    Title is sensationalist. Amazon is just going where there is cheap power, and Ohio has cheap power for many reasons. Coal is one, but another is plenty of spare capacity since the economy in the northern and rural parts of the state has bee

    I would only take money from people who get at least the basics here. I wonder if a SAFE might have the added benefit of selecting for knowledgeable folks. If I try putting forward a SAFE I will blog the result.

    It's not pre-emptive. "Toll roads" on the Internet are a reality. It's also not a case of unilateral regulation imposed on a free market. ISPs have their monopolies due to regulation, and have in many cases received publ

    Here's a few of mine: * Learning BASIC and later 6502 ASM on a Commodore 64 when I was a kid... play, not work. * Being a "hacker" (sense two) in the early 90s. While this was not legal, I learned more than I would have in pr

    "There is no cost or value lost for the people using them." That assumes the data isn't being used in a way that harms the interests of the user.

    I read once -- but cannot remember where -- that a market cannot be perfectly efficient if P!=NP. I'm curious if anyone else has ever heard this and where it comes from.

    I'd really like to see a more a-la-carte option. For example: I have an app that might in the future require a lot of network, a decent but not terribly huge amount of CPU, but very little memory or storage. I'd like to be able
