The narrative of this piece is really great -- that the most charismatic mathematician around just up and decided to reinvent himself as a charismatic person. I gained a bunch of weight a couple years ago, and I genuinely feel like a funnie

If this is what it takes to get procrastinators onto a real logging stack I'm not sure I see it as a problem.

Yes, not using any vendor's products protects you from vendor lock-in. To call that "generally preferable" is awfully simplistic though.

I would love to hear more about this, if you know where I can find more info.

It's not just America, all of the "5 eyes" share data, plus the occasional deal with countries like Netherlands and Germany.

I would say that the government is more of a threat than terrorists.

It would probably be pretty similar to what happened to Chelsea Manning. Granted Manning is military and as such exempt from the due process required to citizens. However they would love to make an example of Snowden.

Lots of carnivores don't have the ability to manufacture all of the amino acids their body requires. They need to get them from other animals, often because their digestive system isn't able to break down plant matter. The same is

So, almost entirely different from the Bronx. "Joe from the Bronx" would never trust a bank that made him do everything online, and to be honest, neither would I. He gets most of his income in cash under the table so what does he

No, the math is still pretty bad. Are there laws in your particular backwater that require banks to offer these no-strings-attached accounts? Why should banks otherwise forsake the profits from their mortgage on 98 leeches? Every single cus

Drupal, MediaWiki, Laravel, Slim, it's a pretty long list, and it includes projects that target Serious Devlopers.

Great point. How much do you want to bet most of these are PHP, where it takes special discipline not to make your top directory web-accessible?

Why Ubuntu? If you're not writing GUIs, Ubuntu is just a less-stable Debian.

The bank is not a public good. Think about how they keep the lights on: they reinvest the capital of their clients. If their clients are bringing them hundreds of thousands of dollars each the economics can work; less so for the client with

An imposition? What do you mean? That nobody's forcing you to do it, or that it isn't an onerous job, especially if you don't have money and family connections?
