   Declarative often means opaque and hard to debug. SQL is just that over huge datasets. With properly partitioned text files, at least you know you're doing a full scan of a small partition that is practically real-time.

   What's up with C++ in 2002 and today? If you knew C with classes in 2002 (MFC style) you were good, if you knew GoF patterns you were elite. Today you have to know STL, auto/smart/shared pointers, all kinds of right casts, you have to know

   pg is a big proponent of plain files, as explained in his stories about viaweb. There are many places where you want ad-hoc databases. You better bet on it being read-only or append-only, but in practice it is often so anyway.

    Well, if you are able to provide 1/2 as cheap rent and transportations, I believe many people would. I've heard in South Korea many of the smaller apartments don't have any windows at all.

    How is this proposal different from Gas Cooled Reactors that UK use for decades now? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnox UPD: Switz tried to make underground reactors and got what is now the most contaminated cave in the world. http://en

    People were so uncomfortable with the mentally ill that they made their social system to accept and reason inhumane and horrible "cures". It's not unique, happens to drug addicts, for example, in various places.

    You can always go KDE. In file management however, Dolphin is still an awkward kid compared to Konqueror, but hey, it's still there.

    For DC chains, you might find yourself in need of Operational Analysis, especially when you plan to switch the flow. That beats the "simple" imaginary math just right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_calculus

    There are also people who write insanely complicated and featured software for themself. They open-source or might even sell it, but their only target user is themself. You can code a long way solely - because you spend no time on communica

    It's not but it still requires some planned effort beforehand, as opposed to just hopping on a plane & airbnb. The event is sufficiently in the future so this is feasible, tho.
