Honestly, I don't think the conference should be in charge of this (specially when it doesn't happen where the conference takes place). This is a very general problem and should be handled by state/federal laws rather than arbitrary decisi

Being specific is not a feature, this is what you do when you have no other way to solve a problem. The ambitious challenge raised by Light Table was to generalize Bret Victor's ideas to general programming, if they are unable to do this, I

Atwood's blog post is entitled "Please don't learn how to code" which is an equally gross generalization for the reasons you mentioned. I guess "You don't have to learn how to code" would have been a more accurate title.

There are a lot of mentions to studies and not a single reference. Quoting from the text: "Studies indicate", "studies [...] have shown", "studies have revealed", "studies indicate" "Studies show" "some of these studies demonstrates" "stu

I also do this on a very regular basis. But anyway, the thing is X client/server architecture allows a lot of flexibility. It is a very very strange idea to remove modularity from a system. (Especially when it was introduced decades ago.)

An algorithm can be indeterministic and still have a determined outcome. Actually many parallel algorithms already are very indeterministic since the computations when they perform depend on the thread scheduling.

I recommend Vim because I use it every day. I have to say that I haven't seen such a fair argument in favor of emacs or vi for years.

This is clearly what the author of the blog post suggests, why do you assume the vulnerability is in GH's code ?

Well, on the other hand, if you know a bit about hardware, it is fairly easy to build a simple yet fully functional processor from basic components, implementing an OS with most common features and a compiler with advanced error checking an

what do you mean? "cat > file" allows you to create simple text file not just empty files. As long as you don't need advanced editing, it is the quickest way to do it (well I think).

Our individuality comes from the fact that we have a body. I don't think there will be AI citizens but rather one AI that will quickly become knowledgeable about everything. It'll probably be able to manipulate any human being. How woul

I don't think they really care to know whether you are lying or not. People ask this question because they want to put you in a tricky situation and see how you react.
