The US should concede nothing. Indeed if I were negotiating for the US, I would exploit the current weaknesses in the EU to impose a deal that makes clear Europe's decline.

Agreed. And FreeBSD's installer has been "next, next, next" as you say, since the 90s. Our receptionist installed it herself on both her work and home computers in 1997. Next, next, next, done.

Chrome OS will get close to this once it gets Android app support. Microsoft supports Office apps for Android as a first-class port. Chrome OS is "opaque"...there are very few knobs to turn. Games will be covered as long as you me

Arch has been consistently more breaky for me than Ubuntu. It is fashionable to bash Ubuntu but I have found it quite polished as long as you don't try to color outside the lines. I have used FreeBSD on the desktop since 1996. I am not

Police will regret that relationship. Xenophobic signalling on Nextdoor has surely resulted in a rapid rise in bogus resident calls. I know in our neighborhood it has. Residents now constantly post photos of "suspicious" people an

I had to quit Nextdoor. The same small cabal of loudmouths was overwhelming the forums with strong (yet uninformed) opinions, reflex hatred of anything signalling change, and a general seething that bordered on xenophobia. I expect some NIM

So weird how they announced a big build out in San Jose and then backed out very soon after.

I am concerned that we will kill the golden goose...neighborhoods will consist of only the elderly (who remain by virtue of prop 13), and the wealthy. Seems inevitable that neighborhoods of this composition can only support service industri

Does anyone actually use this?

Actually it does. If there is a 1% chance of a cyclists fatality for a certain illegal behavior, you might be that 1%. You will be 100% dead.

The cop who gives you a ticket probably doesn't care about your Vox articles, Maclolm-Gladwell-grade pseudo statistics, or these comments. At least in the Bay Area, cops are definitely willing to take the time to ticket cyclists. In Lo

Linux is amazing! From 86% of the world's smartphones to pretty much all of the top500 supercomputers to millions of Chromebooks in schools to tens of millions of critical servers to umpteen embedded uses I've never even heard of!

Cheaper and easier to just pass marine development laws that categorically invalidate their claims. If people want to move, let them. No one will. edit: for some reason I cannot respond to the child of this comment, but I recommend reading

Their home prices aren't impacted by this. Their asset is already rare enough that it is insulated from minor issues like this. I mean, who is going to come out to an area like this and not bother buying because they see a turbine? No

Exactly! I own this device and still use it often...I see no reason to stop using it. It received a security patch just recently, and I don't feel that missing out on further updates will impact watching YouTube videos

the author recognized one problem (hairball perl left undocumented by previous coworker) but replaced it with another problem (overly complex and needlessly configurable java) what the author replaced was a classic "first system".

Okay I think its safe to say we have all built this at one time or another...its almost a right of passage for an intermediate developer to grasp that moment when they realize the world can be encoded as a nested dictionary, and most databa

The biggest issue with guile-emacs seems to be that the community doesn't seem particularly interested in it. As a daily almost-everything-in-emacs user, I definitely understand the shortcomings of elisp, but generally speaking it does

Find me one reference for Go in "use" at Google in 2007. The wikipedia page does not make this claim, it is only stated that this is when Go itself was being created.

Wikipedia says Elixir first appeared in 2012, while Go first appeared in November 2009. Go is not that much older than Elixir...so I don't buy your analysis. By time Go was four years old, it had much greater adoption than Elixir does

Pony represents new thinking for concurrent design. I would not use Pony in production yet, but it is worth a look if you want to explore novel approaches for concurrency.

We know the value of constraining reference capabilities from Rust (`mut` annotations etc). Now imagine you could annotate these references even further, describing how they specifically operate wrt concurrency. To me, that is where Pony sh

It's pretty simple: build a highway and it will saturate. At this point it is only a matter of when total saturation starts (7am? 6am?) and how long total saturation lasts. Since development follows highways, you already know where tra

Given that Canada is mostly barren, air power isn't that useful. If you'd like to bomb Nunavut, go nuts.

Well to be precise, the earth I am talking about scorching would include the Northeast US as well, which relies on the Great Lakes even more than Canada. The Northeast US also buys a lot of power from Canada, so you'll be drinking radi
