While I generally agree with the gist of your argument, "meat eating cult" seems a bit hyperbolic.

Do people go to meetups to learn something? I guess I always treated them as networking events to expand my sphere. Sure, it's interesting to be exposed to a new technology that I can then go and investigate on my own time, but I have

Compilation in slow. It's also a complex language that can be hard to wrap your head around. That makes it hard to spin up new developers on it.

(Most) people don't make decisions based on overarching theories of what's good for everyone. They need to solve a problem as easy as possible and most people feel that CUDA is easier to use than OpenCL. Plus, NVidia has been a le

The problem is that a lot of small businesses just naturally make a lot of transactions in cash and then have to deposit that money in their accounts. Well, the problem is an aggressive government more interested in taking from citizens t

It's not a pic fool. Take a pic from the keyboard! I'm sorry, is that English? I have no idea what that sentence means.

For those of you that are blissfully unaware of what the JCL DD command looks like, here's a example (with only the DD section of the JCL shown): //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

NextBSD was a fork of FreeBSD that used a microkernel and components from Darwin. It was not intended to replace FreeBSD. That said, it looks like the project died well before it was ready for production use.

There really hasn't been that much forking. FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD and Darwin being the only existing operating systems. On top of that, they are complete operating systems with a user environment and kernel. You can&#x

It once had a liquid core (like Earth) which generated the magnetic field. Being a smaller planet, it cooled faster and now the core is solid, hence no more magnetic field.

In 1992 it probably wouldn't have had templates nor much of much else (it wasn't standardized until 1998). Modern C++ is barely the same language anymore.

Many people seem to have forgotten about the Nazis vs. Village of Skokie case from the 70's. The Nazis were defended by the ACLU. This idea that "hate speech" isn't protected by the 1st amendment is a weird development t

That's pretty much what I see on both sides these days. The idea that someone could hold differing views is no longer seen as disagreement but being actively evil or, at best, stupid.

Yeah, the other side has no worthy opponents, THAT'S the problem. /sarcasm

I do woodworking, fix things around the house, work on electronics and hope my kid takes interest in those things, but it's not out of some idea that it's the only way to be "masculine" or something. I think both boys an

IANAP, but no, it's saying that our current 4-dimensional spacetime is a holographic projection from an earlier 2-D phase of our universe. Not that it is currently 2-dimensional.

I would also recommend looking at the RC2014 project. Kits are available for order on Tindie. The mailing list is very active and new developments happen regularly. http://rc2014.co.uk/

Look on eBay. You can usually find one. Or try to find some law firm that is selling off their old tech.

As the father of an adopted child, I hesitate to encourage it. Adopting a child includes a number of additional challenges that having a child by birth does not. It is not for everyone, especially people that are already hesitant to have ch

Have her ask her doctor for a prescription to Prozac. It lasts longer in the system than Venlafaxine so it eases the withdrawal.

Most doctors will prescribe a short duration of a longer-lasting SSRI (like Prozac) which will help with withdrawal. Any competent doctor will tell you not to discontinue abruptly or withdrawal symptoms are likely. Unfortunately, too many G

I don't think HN is on the level of Reddit or some other communities, but there is an air of contrarianism that wafts through this place that I can imagine reads as negative to people that aren't familiar with it. It also sometime

When working with functional languages (my current choice is Scala), I do feel that they require a level of mastery that "traditional" imperative languages do not. I also feel that if computer science/software engineering is

Language is an incredibly difficult problem. Natural language processing can get you to 80% very easily, but we've been struggling with that last 20% for a long time.

Yeah, but Hipchat or Campfire are just as easy to use. And Microsoft's will probably be as well.
