Minor nitpick: That already happened, Limbo is what happened when Bell Labs wrote Java.

In general I definitely agree with you, certainly.

That's malarkey. Tied is not exclusively used to imply a "contractual relationship," and that's (if anything) a minority-usage of the idiom of tied to/with.

I respect you a lot, but how is what Mozilla's doing in regards to that at all respectable? It's not "starving them of talent" to not increase Baker's pay as Mozilla is laying off employees? She's been there si

While Brave not taking the "Search deal with Google" route is commendable, you shouldn't donate to it, either. Venture-funded for-profit startups don't need donations, and again, donations will be more heavily felt by th

They're already getting more than enough to fund development with the Google deal, which they've shown no willingness to let up on, despite it seriously compromising user privacy. Donating to Mozilla at this point is just encourag

Sacrificing our computing freedom and privacy is simply not okay. The anti-cheat kernel driver is already just going to be for Windows, so bringing this argument up probably holds less weight than you intended.

Riseup is absolutely with Mozilla's mission statement, though, and all things considered pretty good: "Riseup provides online communication tools for people and groups working on liberatory social change. We are a project to creat

Is this a vector display? The way it's worded seems like it, but I can't tell.

The Mozilla Foundation controls and owns the Mozilla Corporation, and the executive structure looks more or less the same. Baker's compensation has been inversely tied with performance, and she runs both.

The Mozilla Corporation laid off like 70 employees the other day, and Baker's compensation has been inversely tied to the performance of Mozilla.

Firefox should definitely be used, but donating to Mozilla is a mistake. They waste a lot of it, their executive compensation rates are way too high (especially given that MoCo just laid off employees), and Mozilla still hasn't kept up

It's not a backdoor! Calling random anti-consumer behavior a backdoor is the privacy-equivalent of Godwin's law.

"Backdoor" this, "backdoor" that. Proprietary software company releases proprietary software that allows them to spy on you, how shocking. In which they sacrifice privacy to allow their ad network to target you better.

Basically everyone agrees that both latency and audio quality has decreased, and that can be measured (without sophistication) simply by checking radio & television call-ins over the past fifty years. It was slightly reduced with the in

Sure! Most of the RBOCs were purchased...by other RBOCs, or AT&T itself. The research output of AT&T halved. The well-regulated monopoly was sacrificed for what is now more or less unregulated yet governmentally-defended triopolies

Quality of calls has dropped through the floor, instead of a well-regulated, government-enforced monopoly, we now have poorly-regulated, government-enforced triopolies on a variety of services (telephony, networking, television, the physica

The USA's history on this hasn't been stellar. The breakup of AT&T is testament to that.

I don't pay attention to video games at all, but the outrage over the Warcraft remake is so spectacular that I've seen it in almost every community I frequent. They seemed to have made dozens, if not hundreds, of mistakes. It&#x27

Great questions! I wouldn't really say I use Common Lisp (I wrote a few interpreters for a few Lisp dialects as an adolescent, including for CL, but haven't really ever casually used the language itself for anything outside of d

April is really neat for a few (in my opinion, obvious) reasons. Some highlights: Like most modern APLs created by "outsiders," April is k-influenced in some of its additions to the language: https://github.com/pha
