You just stated that it was difficult to solve and didn't say anything more, which I think is one of the problems most people have when talking with Malthusians. For people who even vaguely know what they're talking about chances are pretty

Its priorities dude, most people aren't in it to "change" the world, they're in it to get filthy fucking rich in a way that lets them feel OK with themselves at the end of the day. We're on a website run by a venture capitalist to talk abo

Malthusian thought always strikes me as a comfortable little tautology to live in. It seems like it could be a neat way to contextualize one's efforts to delay the onset of, and diminish the impact of inevitable catastrophe. But I only ev

People are happy to ignore questioning if living in the highest-demand locations in the entire country is really a reasonable and responsible use of money. Apparently, irresponsible spending is only when others spend on things I don't value

Maximum channels! I've been there, I needed program, preview and multiple intercom lines. Never again!

"Rules" like this are silly to write down. By telling people that wearing headphones is a signal that someone wants to be left alone, you're asking people to make assumptions about those of us wearing headphones with no intention to make a

I think this article speaks to why the case is getting so much attention. Lets presume for the sake of argument the trial didn't contribute to the suicide in the slightest. But it did cause us to look at the case, and you can't just un-se

Bring papers, proof and Science and we talk. Why would anyone even take the time to bother? You've already decided that psychology isn't a sufficiently hard science.

I'm skeptical they've made me a better python progammer. Maybe it hasn't, the whole idea is basically acquiring tacit knowledge and understanding through osmosis. That's why its hard to quantify how it should work.

Yeah, if I were looking for an internship, I'd hate to have my cover letter and resume circulated on personal emails where it's sure to be read closely. Exactly, in this specific case it is a net positive! That's plenty of reason to igno

Are you venturing outside of the realm of C/Java descendants? The nature of how those languages model execution, their basic paradigms, data structures and design patterns all fall within a fairly narrow scope. Stepping outside those trapp

Oh please. Hardened systems and open access are not mutually exclusive. Pretending they are is the domain of untalented admins and those that wish to mislead you on reasoning for policy. Also, this is MIT , the biggest threats to their n

I can not imagine why he would be insane other than his beliefs do not resonate with widely accepted beliefs. How you personally define insanity might not make this apparent, but what you've said is a tautology. The inability to conform

CNET doesn't seem to have the greatest track record with editorial independence. Wasn't there a big blowup at gamespot a few years ago too?

Everyone sells out sometime. Is someone that believes in justice even in spite of an inelegant set of legal boundaries a particularly exceptional case?

why, they even mention "art" and AAA titles in one breath. I'm not sure if I should laugh or puke, really. Oh please, drop the pretentious attitude. High-budget entertainment isn't ever going to be a stream of critical darlings and every

FWIW, its more complicated than automatically updating to the current year so doing it manually is actually decent practice. I don't know if there is law that has since settled the matter, but in the past an organization I was at was once

It makes sense, if taught properly. But I would expect this to be yet another thing taught with the "daddy knows best" attitude that speaks in simplistic absolutes to make sure they instill their desired outcome rather than share a proper

I think it's kind of ridiculous that everyone is pointing fingers at "everyone else" other than the man responsible for the suicide, Aaron Swartz himself. I know some people are pointing the finger, but not everyone is. While I wouldn't d

Everyone can say they want that, within a very large subset of the political spectrum. There just happens to be one party within that subset that is really loud about wanting those things. They want those things, and they want it implemen

A lot of people here have a strong interest in reduced taxes, deregulation, and privatization (included in 'small government'). This is what I hate about political messaging. All of those vague terms are nice and all, but the different w

The spaceship example the author uses is a good example of why I think he is wrong. My toolbox at home is full of tools passed down from my late grandfather's toolbox. I'm pretty sure if I was building a spaceship, a lot of the tools in i

I think you're drawing too much from that observation. It says more about the market in the Turkey than the innovation in Turkey. Geographically-targeted versions of items are custom tailored for desires of local markets. Even if we assum

Looking at it from a defense-in-depth perspective, its another layer of protection. Even if you use fail2ban and mandate key-based logins, it answers questions like "what if there is a 0day for my sshd?" Its not a bad idea, it just happens

I also fail to see how people feel they [...] This is the kind of thinking I was referencing. You don't see it because you're not in their shoes, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's fine and all that people do disagree, that's just

I agree, this is a good example of why I think the complaints about criticism in the open source space need to be put back in check. Some are deserved, but these guys aren't trolls or well-intentioned idiots they're all trying to build the

What is this post responding to? And who is the target audience? Reading this feels exactly like reading the passive aggressive facebook posts of someone currently in a fight with their boy/girlfriend. We get it, Rails is "opinionated", s
