   These laws are insane and so are the executive authorities and their means of operation. What happened to common sense?

   Interesting, I didn't know that. I always wondered why (non "functional") Ada doesn't get mentioned more often in these kinds of discussions: http://www.adaic.org/advantages/ http://www.s

   Are we finally approaching consensus in the field of systems programming that security is more important than performance (thanks to heartbleed)? Or put differently: have we reached the point where computers are fast enough so that we can m

   OpenWRT has a pretty decent developer base and in general has always been very stable for me (I've been using many WRT54GLs and Foneras over the years). That said it seems off that they wouldn't have fixed heartbleed by now, it wo

    We are a trusting team and don't do pull requests with our closed source repos either. To avert chaos it's much better to have an orderly branching model in place e.g. feature branches! My fellow partners made us go all "git

    As to the "Long live DEC!" I know of a company here in Austria which still deploys VMS machines (albeit not any more on Alpha but Itanium/HP Hardware iirc). Thanks for the book recommendation!

    Thanks for that list - to add to it some lighter, at-the-beach reading as well: 1989, The Cuckoo's Egg (a lot of 80s Unix/Vax anecdotes as well as a great story and lots of good-old hippie culture :) http://www.goodread

    Surely there must be something like an SMS reminder or recurring calendar event with corresponding alarm function on your computer/phone which would get you started? Try to do the good old paper calendar x-ing off of days - same thing

    Jane Street is one of the few companies which are betting heavily on OCaml, it makes sense to go all functional in the high frequency trading world I guess. It's purportedly been C/C++ for most of that industry, probably not the b

    I've been using Commit on my iPhone, it helped me get into the habit for a while but I've given up on keeping my journal some time ago... most likely because of the depression I've silently got myself into - never mind that i

    Goes to show how stupid right wingers are, it doesn't take much to make people happy consumer slaves these days. Much less of a problem than having angry mobs at their gates that want to lynch them.

    If we go down that route I would prefer primary/secondary - it's likely more accurate and intuitive than "replica" in my opinion. Hilarious comment on the drupal issue - why not to use replica: "In the name of all r

    Couldn't you say the same about many eccentric and charismatic politicians? I favour a stateless politician who truly understands the Internet over most of the others. Edit - interesting article on sociopaths in politics: http:/&

    In fact, at this point in my life I view using Ritalin much in the same way as wearing my glasses and hearing-aids. That feels like an apt analogy, I'm looking forward to see how Ritalin works for me.
