Do you remember when he did that BBQ ad saying he wanted to tour America and hear opinions? It looks like he might be trying to edge his way into a political career again. I like him because his uncanny valley appearance and single-minded m

I wouldn't think twice about buying something nice from a store for $25 dollars. Once upon a time I bought something online for about $10 from what was a legitimate business with an address in San Francisco. About 14 months later they

It's quite good, and I really like their automatically-generated recommendations BUT there is a small fee, and I have a knee-jerk reaction to anything on the internet that asks me for money.

I just got a copy of The Western Canon by Bloom from the library, and I think it is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read in my life. He is a very convoluted writer that goes for as much high emotional impact as possible, because hi

Well, if that's the case, I can do you one better.

It's true that some people can write extremely clean, beautiful Perl. Nevertheless, it's still a lot less effort to write clean, beautiful Python or Ruby.

Making a language is fun, and builds your skills. I'd rather work with a person who has made a bad language than someone who has never made one. Don't make fun of people for making languages.

Where I live (Victoria BC), we don't have many pedestrian lights, but pedestrians definitely do not have priority in crosswalks. Pedestrians here make sure that there are definitely no cars moving anywhere near the crosswalk, and no

Right below the headline, there is a prominent Facebook icon, providing free publicity for Facebook, as well as allowing Wired to use Facebook as a marketing platform.

This isn't necessarily a good thing. The earliest versions of Javascript were insane. Bad isn't the word. Buggy isn't the word. You've never seen a language as ridiculous as early Javascript. It took a good twenty years

Wealth Of Nations is a weird book to read. Where I grew up, people worshipped it and generally considered it to be the second greatest book of all time, after the Bible. I ended up reading both in my thirties, and two things occurred to me:

A pretty good consolation for the alienation and rage Buzzfeed is telling me about is being able to go to Buzzfeed and find out which Friends character I'm most like.

One one hand, I like a nice long commit message. On the other hand, human nature is terrible. I know that if long commit messages catch on, some synergetic managers will start insisting on minimum lengths for commit messages, and start havi

Imagine a book where you wrote a bunch of Javascript implementations without learning Javascript.

Javascript is such a good language that, even after two decades of fixes, it's only good when you use a different language - specifically created to address JS's many problems - that compiles to it.

The target audience are people who don't want to learn Lisp but want to write a bunch of Lisp interpreters and compilers. Obviously.

What's your source for that? Not that I doubt you, I just can't find any record of him saying that.

A long essay could be written about that. A few quick things. There's Scheme's simple syntax, which doesn't get in the way of what the book is actually teaching. The fact that, of the mainstream programming languages, Javascr

I wonder how much of the software between me and that blog post is open source?

I've certainly seen that on internet, but I don't known of any real research or hard data, and just go to any old graveyard and work out people's ages. Seems like clickbait debunking rather than real debunking.

Remember how there used to be pro-gay fried chicken and anti-gay fried chicken? Now we've got an anti-gay web browser. Amazing how the market provides. What's next? An anti-Jew web browser? An anti-black web browser? The only thin

The fact that headline points out that it's not bullshit makes it sound like bullshit. When a pitch answers a question that no one asked, it's a pretty good indication that something's wrong. Like when an employer says they&#

Segregation brought joy into some people's lives. I'm sure Stalin was quite happy about engineering the famine in the Ukraine. Every great human-created disaster was pleasing to someone. There are inevitably people who enjoy confl

I think it's great graphic design, wasted on a project that doesn't need branding or identity, and certainly doesn't need any more publicity than it already has. That logo could have been used on something that brought joy in

Building a Linux distro was like playing with Lego: the pieces were very interchangeable (in practice there were difficulties, but usually ones that were fun and rewarding to resolve; "fun and rewarding" is the exact opposite of S

Gnome3 is great if you want to disable 4323 hotkey combinations to open their overlay (except the one that can't be disabled), and download an extension that makes it so moving the cursor over 15% of the upper left corner of the screen
