Is it possible this is the first iteration of an initiative getting more complete, nuanced answers? As software developers, we talk about small cycles and iterations first that drive toward a working product, not a singular giant leap towar

I don't think that's the case at all. I would expect more quid pro quo out of the current administration, especially if Oracle could paint Silicon Valley as a "leftist wasteland," which it probably already believes.

Last year before I graduated, I was offered a very lucrative software engineering position in Nowhere, Arkansas. It seemed interesting, but in my 10$/hour opinion I had other goals for myself, and there didn't appear to be a commu

I think Facebook makes experimental developments to Messenger first, and then it develops what works really well on WhatsApp after that. But I don't use WhatsApp, and don't really see the fine details of their work, so I could tot

Wow. That's bleak. Linux will not last forever, irrespective of how it might change. Change is gonna come someday. Don't get left behind because of sentiment. This isn't a judgment on the Linux project, this is reality.

Good point. So it was seen as not being able to pay in full for groceries? Despite the fact that bad cheques can kinda do the same thing as not paying the credit bill? I would imagine however, that over time a personal reputation is gained

I feel like the parallel to the extended use of fossil fuels is really nice. At the same time, the industries producing petroleum had a lot of incentive to do so. We can call this aggressive self preservation at best. At the worst, we can s

Your comment says nothing. I'm glad you can think around a problem and tell me that you're capable of that, but what the Guardian is positing is "you can't steal our data if we give it to you!" Way to beat them at t
