It's like someone from the 1990s travelled to 2017, noted what we're doing with computers nowadays and reported back all the contrary of what they saw. The whole article sounds like "what we have now sucks and there's no

I wouldn't second this suggestion. Stackexchange sites are for Q&A, not for discussion about a topic.

I've been giving some thought about this recently. I'd say that, at least for software, we'd still need the GPL and, therefore, copyright. Which clashes a bit with my anti-copyright sentiments, but whatever. Why is this? Beca

While the title of the article makes it seem like a good (or at least neutral) thing, the content of the article makes it quite clear that this is going to be a gift to the anti-science crowd. So no, it won't encourage people to think,

That may be dangerous. What if the patch works, passes all tests by contains non-obviously malicious (or simply non-obviously buggy, which no current test catches) code? I prefer maintainers taking a bit more time to review it instead of do

I would be curious to see some functional languages examples, like scheme, Haskell and OCaml, for example.

If you're into running GNU/Linux on older hardware, I can't recommend kmandla's blog[0] (abandoned since 2015, also skip the last post to go to the juicy bits) and Inconsolation[1] (by the same guy, abandoned since 2015

Twitter does that too. At some point I created another account without specifying a phone number, posted a tweet from there and next thing you know they are flagging it for suspicious activity and asking for my phone number to unlock the a

So you judge a non-technical article written by a non-technical person on the fact that he doesn't know that two programming language with a very similar name are not the same language?

What about MINIX? Being a teaching operating system, do you think it may contain less nose and thus be more useful as reading material? (I mean, without the book)

Just for reference, two years ago, during the Mozilla Work Week, one of the main problem that surfaced was that there were just a couple of people reviewing all new pages that were created and hunting for spam/illegal content

MDN is a wiki, so you can in fact fix problems you find. Discussion is done via mailing list.

MDN is community-driven. Source: I was part of that community for more than a year (first as a translator, than as a topic-driver).

I'm no designer, but here's my layman opinion. Some of these are not "brutalist", just badly designed. For example, there was no need to have the google logo half covered in the Chrome example. About the Instagram one, y

Because the words wouldn't start at the same height. The point was that, if every title starts at the same height it's easier to skim, because you don't have to move your eyes much when looking at the first few letters.

Yup, my bad. I've always called the distro just Guix in my mind, but I know the difference. Anyway, thanks for pointing that out.

It's already used in Guix, that is a GNU/Linux distribution, so why not?
