Yes it is sexy, but it has the smell of a dangerous rhetoric flower. The CPU is a machine, it is deterministic, same input yields same output. The legal system may try to be as predictable as possible, it is still a human production built o

But laws, while necessary, are very inefficient at avoiding bad behaviors. If I don't steal my neighbors or assault girls, it is not chiefly because it is forbidden by laws, it is because I would feel ashamed of myself. Edit: what I me

> sexually assaulting people The problem is that what is considered "sexually assaulting people" is relative to one's culture, education, religion, etc. In ancient China just the bare foot of a girl was the most intimate t

It has been mentioned in Essays on China by Simon Leys (I read it in French).

There is this thing about ancient China: each son, when his father died, had to mourn for three years. Yes, three years. And it meant stopping your official occupation, e.g. official employment. (This didn't apply to the peasant). Resu

I was half through and I suddenly had a click in my head, thought this was written by pg. Same clean and efficient style, same nakedness without any philosophical scaffolding, while being bullet tracing a straight line through many philosop

That's just common (engineering) sense. In his beginner lesson on programming a Poker game with Python, Peter Norvig ask the student to write a test for a 10000 cards deal. That's the same. "It just work" is the user&#x2

You know, sometime some thought do actually require sentences with more than five words, and some people might actually appreciate rich and flourishing vocabularies. See Proust. There is a limit, were the author is hiding emptiness and ster

That's fast, nice! I wonder if you could "anonymize" the phone, which looks too much like an Apple device for my taste. I think Mozilla has always shown the right direction for net neutrality, and trademark neturality is also

Seen this kind of epilepsy in Gmail chat frame too. For me it means these modern web apps are going against the grain of html and should just learn to live within the constraints of the browser. Moreover, once this animation problem will be

Nice. I'd love to see more details about the index, the way to see differences between branches with log and diff, and I think stash should be mentioned.

Ok, then looking is not an adjective, it forms an adjective compound with another adjective.

Is it common to use "she" for punctuation marks? Or is it a perversion of the current trend in mixing he and she randomly? Oh, and is "looking" really an adjective? It must be: this author is lecturing us about English u

In China obviously. It is already the case.

Hehe, nice. I tried to put the small dot on the big one, both had the same dark hue, so I guess it works only on background, not on other placed elements, right?

Well, maybe my understanding of "whimsical" is wrong but it do not feel the same way to me. "Alyssa P. Hacker" is a poor pun that do not try to look clever.

This. And whimsical error pages, documentation, etc, are just showing the lack of writing skills behind. Google is full of those, and most of the time the allusion cannot be understood by those who are not sharing the same culture. That&#x2

It could be that we see many startups in "the market" because like flies they spawn and die quickly, but have few to nil influence on the world, while real big new things are few and last longer, and influence the world, and requi

Would be interesting to try to imagine where the bottlenecks are, because I think we can suppose there are some bottlenecks. Maybe Apple locked itself when locking in its users?

Was doing a little presentation on hacker culture at my office and I used vim instead of ppt. That was part of the things I wanted to say. I didn't use buffers however, I just used a custom page breaks and a search trick like "sea

Yes, and we have plenty of examples of successes that came naked, without marketing. Eg Minecraft.

How do you know? I always thought journalists had some basic level principles about their jobs, until I heard from a first hand witness that you can actually buy some of them with good money...

I didn't read the GP as sarcasm, and if it was your answer is still constructive, congrats.

I also prefer TUI over Ajax GUI but here I think we don't have the tools and environment that define a real TUI. For example, can I pipe the genre list to grep or sort or awk? Can I script a player in a cronjob? I doubt it (cannot chec

The next big thing will be the next flop. I'd advise you to learn one of the good old things, like python.

Don't want to be pouring cold water here but there are much more important things that should be fine in order to avoid later regrets: traveling in another culture deep enough to really know what is different and what is similar, havin

On the other getting abused when a nude pic is leaked can be seen as a defense from our societies, which are completely schizophrenic: sexual behavior is everywhere (like in this new ass dance) and the body is cleansed from any sign of natu

Well, you are right, the model should not send the mail to new users. There should a way for the mail service to poll the model for emails to be sent. So the business rule here is still coded in the model. Say you want to also send the same

Oh my god no! Business logic is in the model. For example "a new user cannot be created if its email is already used by another user". Would you put that is the controller? Controller is just orchestrating the basket dance of the
