My opinion of Sweden's government has worsened considerably thanks to those extremely blatant examples of politically-motivated injustice. A high ranking shouldn't be an excuse to sweep real problems away. For more on the Pirate Bay trial

People liked Gmail, though. It was a product everyone loved, a major upgrade for webmail. Google+, on the other hand, has some cool features but is also a cudgel that Google is beating us over the head with if we want to post YouTube comm

This is all anecdotes unless someone's done a survey, but in my experience very few people use a native app for email anymore. I do so, but can't think of a single other person I know who does. Almost everyone's on Gmail, and a lot of peo

> It's been normal since long before Twitter. Exactly. And before GitHub. And before open source. And because haters will hate no matter what, we shouldn't let them stop us from sharing what we build and learn.

That might be, actually! I do make a habit of unfollowing anyone on social media who's consistently negative (esp. in unconstructive ways). I recommend it.

It's a good start, but this shouldn't be a special day. It should be every day.

I see a lot of people saying you're going to keep personal projects to yourself (instead of putting them on GitHub or similar) because of this fracas. Please don't. The Twitter snark isn't normal, it's an exceptional case. It wouldn't be on

I don't. If the hosted service (Tent.is) and reference implementation (tentd) only saved the latest version of a followee's profile, and the spec made it clear this was supposed to happen, we'd have a sensible default that would be respecte

Sure. There are many technical flaws, but to me, the worst part is how Tent is very opinionated about removing content. The developers deliberately made it difficult. In version 0.2, their changelog[1] casually mentioned a new feature: &#62

Love this idea. This must be what drives all the people writing toy scripting languages, like _why's Potion[1] or TJ Holowaychuk's Luna[2]. Or the zillions of tiny Scheme implementations out there. [1]: https://github.com/fogus/potion [2]

There is a problem with this theory: it hypothesizes a benefit to a group , but no benefit to the individual who commits suicide. Individuals who do not have the gene(s) that predispose toward committing suicide would therefore be more f

Great point. It seems obvious in retrospect, yet I had never thought of it with that level of clarity. It also explains why, as I ponder my career, I'm drawn to companies where a significant portion (or all) of my work would be open source.

I love how easily us nerds get sucked into debating analogies and whether they're right or not and which analogy is the best one, even when it has no bearing on anything. It's a really funny phenomenon to watch.

But a JIT can perform such optimizations. Which doesn't help Haskell, but may help JavaScript or Lua beat C in some cases.

To most programmers, Go is less scary and foreign than Haskell/OCaml and thus easier to learn. Much as I love Haskell, I'll admit that's a pretty important advantage for Go if you need a team.

Yeah. It's funny in my case, though. I'm writing a music streaming web app and not sure yet if the RPi will be able to transcode formats in real-time, so have pondered using decoders in JavaScript, e.g. [1], instead. Normally this would be

That's cool, I had an idea to do something like that: For each piece of content (e.g. a photo or video), generate a ~32-byte random string, and symmetrically encrypt the content using that random string as the key. Then encrypt the random s
