This is ridiculous. Python won scripting because it offers a sane way to do sequential, shell-ish things, without having to wade through "man bash" or searching stack overflow for the umpteenth time about the syntax to do somethin

None. That's the problem. We've reached a point where the very engine of humanity's growth, capitalism, has revealed a huge vulnerability in its design.

I think no one is thinking past "but I'm more productive!", that's including employers and employees. Productivity is not the be-all end-all of a career! Human interaction (of any kind) is important, "wasting"

This is a company doing this, not the government. By the way, companies _can_ take the easy road and allow absolutely everything. _Nobody_ wants to use such a service though. Visit reddit clone Voat, and see if you want to revisit it again.

I've known plenty of software engineers that don't carry their weight. Some of the big techs make it very easy to do the bare minimum, if that's all you want to do. You don't need a union to have slackers.

Now everyone that's ever said "I would pay for an ad free experience" can get what they want.... and come up with another reason to be unsatisfied.

Hg's developer ergonomics are just way nicer than git. I tried the hg-git bridge at my current job, but the bridge becomes unusably slow for large git repos.

I was quite shocked to see just how snappy and clean medium is with javascript turned off, via uBlock. Reminded me of the old web. No noticeable functionality loss, other than the auto highlight popup stuff, which is not missed.

What happens if you are fine with those parameters, you build a business on iOS, and then apple decides that it wants to be in your business, so it makes their own competing app default and non removable? Then it adds hardware functionality

Slow or not, it becomes cryptic to write Sconsfiles with any complexity, and it's impossible to debug.

What a story. It's hard to believe that actually happened. It's also sad to see the changes in the world since that awful time.

I know next to nothing of ethereum or how it works, so the whole thing read like a cyberpunk caper that I couldn't put down. I imagine the author on his Ono-Sendai deck.

It's far too late in the game to let the Sierra Clubs and the NIMBYs block nuclear power. It will take immense work to overcome the stigmas associated with nuclear power plants, however. With today's hyper-conspiracy minded discou

I thought Play Services was designed to house more and more of the OS, so that Google could get back some control over updates, instead of letting device manufacturers never update their Android versions.

Do you honestly think Apple is going to keep this true for Macs in 2 years? 5 years? 10 years? I think there is slim to none chance that they give a shit about the "openness"of Mac. As far as I'm concerned, Mac openness is j

Help me make the connection here. If we cut taxes to the Walmarts, why would that lead to them increasing wages? Would they see the reduction in safety nets and food stamps, and conclude that they ought to be more generous to employees? Wou

Upon further thinking, I think the fact that running and integrating non-built-ins is so clunky makes this less a shell and more just a shell-like programming language, and at that point why not python? Like it or not, the Unix pipe model o

There's an excellent retrospective on YouTube about the xband and how it was built. It was a product ahead of its time. For example, the way they got games that weren't built for laggy multiplayer to work was unbelievable: they re

I wish Barnes and Nobles would find a strategy to combat Amazon competition. When I walk into a BN, it feels just like how Best Buy felt when it really seemed doomed (about a decade ago). BN is the only bookstore in many American cities, es
