In my 10+ years in academia, i‘ve seen only a few STEM people in university politics. From what I have read over the years, it’s the same in ‘real’ politics. That needs to change. We can not complain about politics when we do not take part

Node-Red pretty much runs our hackspace. It integrates with almost everything. I’m also using it quite a lot professionally for prototyping. If you really know how to use it you seldom need Javascript. Most things can be done with switch, c

This. Every decision is a trade-off. There is no silver bullet. Context matters.

Thanks, very interesting. He is right, the Rust borrow checker can not deal with arbitrary graphs and she added a memory management layer on top of the Rust one. However, you would have to do the same in C++. It is an interesting obervation

This one is one of my favorites of the year too. ECS seems like a pattern which can also be used in other contexts then games. I‘m currently writing a simulation tool and I am considering switching to ECS.

It’s scary that this is done by people who earn money by managing risk. They came to the conclusion that this is the smartest way to operate. That should not be taken lightly.

I don’t know anything about AD, so this might be a stupid question: can you not just run a web server on the same host as the AD server or port forward all HTTP traffic to a different server?

Having multiple managers to answer to can also be quite good. If they know and respect each other, they will try not to give you too much to do because they don’t want to “steal” time from the other guys. For me this results in having only

The problem is that people think that egalitarianism is the natural state of the world and hirarchies have to be artificially introduced. I can see the appeal of this sort of thinking. People belive it, because it is a nice thing to belive.

I think journalists may care because they come from universities which teach postmodernist 'deconstruction'. Basically, they are looking for a reason to dismiss everything that western culture has ever built.

I find that unlikely. They got 250 MUSD quite recently and they need IPFS working if they want filecoin to work.

I can tell from personal experience that if you change your environment and have new experiences, you will also change. Changing a big part of your life (job, location, relationships) makes it easier and sometimes necessary to also change y

Coll project. I think having educational * implementations in Python is great in general. Better then having just an article about it...

SWI Prolog has a Java API. You can also use Datalog to get started. It's the non turing-complete version of Prolog. (You can not create facts in rules for example.) The best know Datalog Database is Datomic which you can use in the Jav

Any change to the bargaining process will not fix the gender pay gap, as it is no significant factor. There is an excellent Freakonomics episode about it: http://freakonomics.com/podcast/the-true-story-of-the-gender...

Yes, that is a possible approach. The problem is to get browsing histories from typical users. If an anonymity tool needs to gather the user's browser history and share it with others, it kind of defeats the purpose of providing anonym

Scripts like these can be easily circumvented as browsing habits are not random. Using machine learning or statistical methods, you can filter out the randomness. People can be identified by the unique set of websites they use pretty reliab

Dropbox is pretty overpriced compared to OneCloud. If they don't solve that I'm not going to switch back.

This isn't really a complete replacement for Parse or Firebase as far as I can see. Apache Usergrid and Baasbox both provide more of the features that Firebase and Parse provide.

Naturalness as a criterion for evaluating languages is not that compelling to me. I think a honest word for what people usually mean when they say "natural" in this context is the word "familiar". I know plenty of progra
