This guy should grow a thicker skin. If you act like a jerk online, someone will complain about it, even if you don't recognize their right to do so. Also, "stolen intellectual property"? They should steal his pixie dust an

I don't consider the Mi-Go elder gods. They are alien and older than man, but they have plans that involve man. I'm thinking more Yog Sothoth and less Brown Jenkins. The current state of chatbot tech is very Brown Jenkins.

The strangest thing about this essay is the assumption that the only function of Java is to financially "save" Sun. The second strangest thing about this essay is that the author, even as late as 1997, considered both Java and Win

Even with perfect NLP, natural language is a poor interface for performing most of the tasks we want to do. The absolute best case for a natural language interface is to start off like trying to explain how to use a computer to your grandpa

You need metatables for rolling your own OO system. But, object orientation (particularly when, as in Lua, you need to roll your own) should not be part of a beginner curriculum. Like I said, by the time you need to worry about metatables,
