“ The Soviet Union trained dolphins for similar harbor protection. After the fall of the USSR, the program was said to be in limbo, and the Soviet-trained dolphins are believed to have been sold to Iran in 2000.” Ah, good old 50’s paranoia:

That’s a very reactionary attitude… you’re simply blaming all the “unknown” “new stuff” for everything negative in life. I bet people blamed excessive reading of books, or “a materialistic point of view” during the Romans, the Middle Ages…

Isn’t it essentially a Corporation in its original definition where they were established for a given purpose (not just “maximize shareholder value” but rather something like “build and maintain some infrastructure” or whatnot)

I’m pretty sure it’s tabbing within the same application. What would be interesting to see how useful it would be, is heterogeneous tab grouping (tabs from different apps)

Aaaah completion-date 2035. I see where that’s going (although I’ll be happy to be surprised)

Except, plenty of wannabe IT departments that want to “hire then best of breed” and start copycatting/aping these gestures. It’s a global Cargo Cult

Well, as a contractor/consultant it’s such a waste of time when a company flips the Codility card. I simply walk away, it’s not worth the effort for a 6mo-1yr gig.

Well, both seem to work on the principle of “cancellation” (one being purely abstract social, the other firmly physically social.) But the mechanism remains very very similar.

Yeah, the ultimate fix to that are prototype (or sandbox, or whatever you want to call them) environments. Every branch has its own full stack of services and dependencies dedicated to it; and it all gets torn down the moment the branch dis

Oh please, it’s a headline. The pedantically correct phrasing is right below in the second heading, not buried in a footnote. Have you even glanced at the article?

There’s a joke in the fp community I can’t find right now that describes the evolution of programs from imperative side-effectful statements to a for comprehension, with exception catching, that looks nearly identical.

No the real infrastructure change we need are different urban zoning plans to eliminate single-use neighborhoods. We need to drastically cut down on commuting and switch to diffused co-working and telepresence.

Nice. Can anyone recommend an industrial or engineering design illustration book? I remember them in my youth, about tractors or airplanes.

Nope, that’s a bad analogy. A manufacturer that produces and sells thousands if not millions of items won’t be deemed as complicit as one building a nuke that somehow lands in your enemies’ lap. That’s pretty obvious and it’s disingenuous t

Dude, what a poor example: Evola is an embarrassment to humanity and Antisemitism is wholly central to the nonsense he contributed to civilization. Take https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard_Gentzen instead; he was a

Well, that’s not such a stupid move, a nuke will permanently destroy every electronic device in a large radius. A better one would to maintain working platforms based on old, rad hardened devices.

Yeah, I mean their online payment system Klarna wants you to provide OTP credentials to access you online banking directly and do whatever they may with it. When I saw it, I slammed the laptop shut and was so disturbed that I went to wash

Yup, the moment you squint hard enough it's turtles all the way down. And it's beautiful like that.

Oh I used it. Built a POC involving devices advertising their positions and coordinating their group responses to commands via a bot chatroom and json messages. Worked a charm.

Ah, Berlusconi… Mussolini… I have this vaguely whimsical conjecture (that fills me of shame, I’m myself Italian) that Italy is a country of “forerunners”. If you look back, many of the behaviors and characters that animated our tormented hi

I guess the Board knows well enough how many skeletons they're hiding (either personally, or the company itself) and what US laws might be pulled out of the hat to give them an Assange or Huawey treatment. You don't mess with the
