Look, it was an informative piece and I'm glad I read it. I even book-marked it for future reference. But let's be candid, It was a promotional piece as well and if I "owned" this forum I would certainly have something t

Maybe not! I wonder how much if anything was paid for this placement. And I also wonder if I should be preparing an "article" about my company. We could sure use some extra exposure. Anyway, despite my belly-aching, it was an inte

As a primary guide to the subject, I would recommend "The Road to Reality" by Roger Penrose.

Wow, a lot of interesting machinations. You've given me a few things to think about for sure. Thanks for the write-up!

This is an interesting and informative little benchmark. I'm sure a few things can be picked apart, but eh. What am also interested in hearing about is the author's experience with building a web app with c# on Linux, or anyone el

A thoughtful article this is. Heck, I like Typescript. I've used it in extensive experimentation and would gladly use it in production if a client or employer insisted on it. Would I use Typescript for my own production use? Likely not

I've not seen any indication of any "obnoxious and dishonest marketing campaign" on his part. All I know is that in his books he presents what I feel is very credible research and offers no conclusions. The missing persons ca

Is this an actual blog post or sponsored content or some hybrid of advertorial?

Yes! I like the way you think.

That was my $0.02 as someone who majored in Physics. You just gave $0.04. Good suggestions.

His books aren't cheap and I'm thinking he makes his living and supports his research from their sale. I'm also thinking you have not read any of his books and really have nothing to say about his research or the circumstance

My $0.02: Make a goal to fully understand General Relativity as Einstein published it. Then work through the evolution of some of its mathematics.

If you're really interested in peeling back the layers of these stories, you're going to have to watch and read all the material published by David Paulides. Type "Missing 411" in your favorite search engine and watch hi

Let's not overthink this. If you don't want to drink alcohol get a soda and mingle and have some fun. Or do what I do: Get a seltzer water with a twist of lemon. Tastes refreshing and looks legit.

Uh oh, you're getting grayed down. Get those critical thoughts out of your head at once and get back onto the reservation.

That's remarkable. I'll be in an audience somewhere on the 27th.

You're darn right he became Google's champion. What a better champion than this flake who "would love to be able to regulate the content of speech,..."

I up-voted you because you mentioned Processwire. Holy God is that a wonderful piece of work. We're getting ready to deploy an enormous amount of content using this platform and it's been a real pleasure working with it.

All I know is that if we're going to locate or communicate with any other advanced civilization out there, it's sure not going to be with radio waves. It will be with something a little more subtle that may not necessarily be cons

So true. Kerouac was actually <gasp> conservative and quite religious.

Ha! My interaction with AWK throughout the years has been a fuzz test in progress. Very interesting link though. On the other hand, I think what you're saying about expanding a well known tool's range of use in new environments ma

I suppose I'm jaded. I've been writing software for so long and have been so underpaid for it, maybe I'm envious of your ability to follow through on your intellectually curiosity with such flourish. Anyway, great work. Looks
