What a misleading title, instead ... DB is releasing a small program for interop into the public domain to encourage others to use it too.

> Knuth may have seemed like a luddite, but given how many people are hooked onto news/social/media/e-mail/Slack, his hard stance on email was perhaps more wise than most of us realized. What was his stance on email?

Surely wealth or living in the "West" has no correlation to happiness, if happiness is considered freedom from worry , and freedom from a never satiated desire for more things, experiences and status.

For better or worse, Swift will become the only choice known by a new generation of programmers. Merit and past lessons learned, are not really how concepts, practices and techniques become popular in computing. Alan Kay had it so right whe

Perhaps such a map displayed prominently in every US school would be appropriate. Kudos to the map's author.

Sadly I believe the ideals of cryptocurrency/blockchain technologies have been currently hijacked by those solely driven by a profit motive and greed. Altruism in the pursuit of a better way is for dummies I guess. I think that Sat

Countries like Australia do not have a central government registry of all people, unlike most countries, including those in Europe. Each State does have a register of all births and deaths. There is no national ID. It surprises many that

Is there a need for a more closed group solution for families and immediate friends? Perhaps one based on definable groups and encrypted posts and comments only those members can see?

Let's get 50 people to all start writing a complex payroll system, or critical embedded medical device software, on the basis of their "personal itch" or "epiphany". When a project or task is individual or trivial,

I had a HP-67, then a 41CV which I loved. Then I moved on to the 95LX, 100LX and 12C. Today it's a 12C emulator on my iPhone that I mostly use. I grew up on RPN, and have always considered knowing it as a "strategic" advantag

What I find disturbing is the rush to modify the subtly balanced mechanisms originally established in Bitcoin of work, reward, and punishment, in order to ensure transparency and integrity in a distributed system. This includes the subtle f

Nice to see simple instructions with direct links to relevant leaving Facebook pages. Hopefully they remain up to date as Facebook makes changes to its "exit policy".

The issue is that there isn't necessarily a representative code base available for analysis for some likely suspects, i.e. Nick Szabo.

I do some paid mentoring. I don't need the money, but I insist people pay to confirm their commitment, and ensure I am not wasting my time. It's a policy I recommend. How did I get started? I was asked if I would agree to it. As a

ORMs are a solution to the problem of the impedance mismatch between an object model and its corresponding relational model. It's not that ORMs come with the problem. I think it increasingly rare today to see real object domain mo

It seems to be in the USA. However, I attribute that to the fear based culture prevalent here, the "winner or your a loser" mentality, that government is untrustworthy viewpoint, and the high degree of tribalism and differentiatio

I've always wondered what design methodology does ThoughtWorks apply to most business systems. Is it the same modeling of use-case driven data-based design, as used by most outsourced development companies? Edit: grammar

Such an influential language today, yet so undiscussed. It’s sad that so many assume that object-orientation started with Smalltalk. In fact, objects, classes, sub-classing and virtual functions are from Simula. Smalltalk’s biggest addition

I recommend making an entirely fake persona for Facebook and use it only for necessary groups and chats. Use the mobile web interface exclusively, and don't install any related mobile apps.

Logging requires high speed transactions. Blockchain is very slow. That is by design, so that any changes incur too high a price for anyone considering tampering with it. Every block header write involves solving a hash puzzle (i.e. mining)
