   It’s worth remembering this was Bell Labs. It was a research and development organization. These weren’t line maintenance people and telephone operators free to create things during their work. They did a lot of applied research and a lot o

   I’m not sure he’s maintained his humanity by maintaining his playfulness with the very lives of people being his playthings.

    I understand M3 and M4 are (by some accounts gratuitously) different and harder to support. Do you know of any future plans toward those?

    60% may be true in some random product category, but clearly not across all of retail. Maybe that’s what’s being remembered, but missing the surrounding context.

    Thanks for the info. I was aware of bandages and packings with collagen embedded or coatings. I wasn’t familiar with powered collagen similar to what’s in the supplements aisle being used medically at least in the US. Then again, I’m not in

    I’m not sure I agree with all the points made in the article. They are written and presented well enough, but it’s woefully incomplete to declare a single choice for all instances. They chose only a handful of languages against which to com

    Having all the agencies under your control blame your political opponents in order to keep their jobs would seem to be a gross violation of the Hatch Act. Yet every agency is being told to take part in this political speech. It’s also contr

    People don’t generally care about the best language. They care about a passable language with the best library access and great support (either commercially or via the community, but preferably both). I’m not even fond of Python, but I use

    I think it's partly because this is what was started and caught on. There are also folk life festivals with traditional art forms from before mass production, frontier festivals, colonial festivals, Civil War reenactments, Revolutionar
