The cynic in me is waiting for the day they start releasing Russian internal communications and state secrets. I don't predict Russia's current government would react to that with words and legal action... or, at least, not just that.

Other than the claim that perhaps radical or unpopular art might inspire further art creation or bring joy to a small group who desire this kind of art, which I suppose has some value, what value does NEA funded art have to society as a who

It's not like the title didn't give away the fact that the rant would be full of swearing. Also, you didn't have to read it.

Two year wait and 40 hours of developer time spent on a simple bug is worth a bit of swearing.

I'm currently working on an indie game that we hope to release within 6 months or so. Sound effects we were pretty sure we could handle, but music is another thing altogether. From what I can see here, this fits the bill very well - the m

It's a fine line. As an example, ESR, often called 'libertarian', is really an anarchist. From what I can tell, there is 'little-l' libertarian, in which someone seeks to keep government small to prevent abuse of freedoms and rights by sai

'Atheist' is not a prerequisite for 'rational', as much as many atheists like to pretend this is the case. I don't personally 'get' prayer, nor do I practice it despite my Catholic upbringing, but I can see how the practice might be psychol

My favorite quote about this is from Don Pettit, right as the ISS grabbed the Dragon capsule. "Looks like we've got a Dragon by the tail," station flight engineer Don Pettit said moments after grappling the craft over northwest Australia.

Don't take anything Dijkstra says personally. I don't think he's ever said anything positive about any language, except perhaps Lisp, and even then it was just a 'this isn't horrible' more than a positive. Wish I could find that quote. EDI

We should be combating spin with facts, not more spin. Otherwise you are part of the problem.

Dismemberment and lost limbs is fairly rare among the civilian population. This is not the case with the military - it makes perfect sense they would be the ones funding this, as they are regularly sending home guys with fewer limbs than t

Well, considering he considers the practice of having children 'menacing' (his words, not mine), even when it is the children of contributors to his own projects, I don't find myself really surprised. http://edward.oconnor.cx/2005/04/rms

Though we probably learned this is not the way to use them, I have seen numerous real-world examples where this was the case. Not only that, I don't think C++ exceptions are necessarily very good at being a 'last barrier' before a crash - t

Of course I do. Doesn't the post make it clear as day? C++11 and C11 are different standards, as stated. Any C++11 compiler that tells you it is also C11 standards compliant is not a C++11 compliant compiler. There are many things you ca

They are going to conform to a standard. The C++11 standard. Conforming to the later C standards and the C++11 standard would be incompatible goals.

This entire blog post is self-indulgent elitist drivel. The fact that it (currently) has 67 upvotes means there are 67 people in need of an immediate ban. All the blog post needed to fit right in at reddit, which he obviously despises, wa

You might have heard of Shamus Young (of Activeworlds fame). He became religious (though admittedly not 'devout' in the traditional sense) as a teenager in an atheist household and eventually brought his family along for the ride, and even
