I don't know, somehow I would feel better being shot to death by flying drones running Linux instead of Windows. After years of having to suffer with Outlook, Exchange, Sharepoint and Internet Explorer it would really just feel like the en

To me the Loebner prize does a lot more to teach us about humans than about how to create AI. The success of ALICE showed us how much of our conversation is just based on regurgitating canned answers based on queues, just look at how drunk

I find the dynamics of the expectation of countries having to bail other countries in the Eurozone out quite interesting. Normally, inside a nation, say France, you have wealth distribution since politicians and the public can, through tax

15 years ago, when I was working as a firewall engineer and penetration tester, I was asked a few times to crack or reset the passwords of systems where ex administrators refused to hand them over. It was usually very easy to do, because t

The strange thing is it reminds me of the late 90s, the GooBook back then were companies like Cisco.

The analogy would have worked better if you used a Fedex jet instead of a BA one. That said, I don't think the latency of transferring large data is the best selling point for Cloudflare, especially since the acks are asynchronous and good

I think you touch on a rather important point. Germany has to make these technologies work, because the alternative is having to rely on gas from Poland and Russia and nuclear energy from France, oil also from Russia and coal from somewher

Here's another reason: If you are doing work you know you are likely to port to C at some point.

What I really like about this is that because it's like a motor bike, you actually have time for the airbags to deploy, when it's being tipped over, shoved along, skidding on its side or flying through the air.

What you are saying about things being under the carpet, I totally agree with you. While living near Andalucia it was evident there was a huge social and structural problems that was not financially sustainable, but yet things on the surfa

I also can't believe it was upvoted, mainly because it was a silly bit of sarcasm.

The worst are the adds with a picture of some guy called Jimmy and another one with long hair. Both asking for money. It takes up the whole top of the page.

This analogy can also be extended to writers and the publishing industry.

You'll be surprised, I know music artists that survive fairly well by just having regular bookings for gigs around their area. Enough to pay the bills and save for retirement. They can afford to turn down record deals on bad terms.

I've lived through the previous tech bubble, but was only an employee. It didn't really require a lot of cash back then to start up, depending on what you are doing. A shared server at an ISP or university and some perl scripts could get

I wouldn't need much money, since the cost of things will be very low.

Let's hope it does kill jobs before I'm at the current expected retirement age.

This tactic is not new, and has worked in the past. I'm thinking of a piracy crackdown about 20 years ago. Back then it was a network of dial-up bulletin boards, and people who would commit phone fraud to upload and download data, operati

As I get older and use perl for longer, I find that it gets easier to read other people's perl code. I find it still hard to read some of the php code out there. I think messy php code outdoes the messes I've seen in perl, and a big part

Coming into the UK through Heathrow, as a non-EU citizen, can be quite unpleasant. It's less so nowadays than before, and it was also highly dependent on where you are coming from and what passport you are carrying and when you are landing

It's good to take them with a pinch of salt, just as you take what your girlfriend say about her ex with a pinch of salt. That said, after the salt has been applied you are still left with some useful information.

I've been doing stuff with Mojolicious with the YUI App Theme, but it sounds like using Bootstrap instead is the way I really need to go.

That's a very valid concern. The effect of this can create a boom cycle especially since allows a mass of less experienced players into the market. We've seen this with buying stocks and the property market. That said, I also wouldn't ha

It's funny, it's just as the world started to become more sane again by storing data centrally now we have a company that will bring us back to storing things locally and share it out on links that at the last mile are not implemented to be

I do care, but I'm not the average user. Apple has always catered well for those in audio and video, up to professional levels. These are markets that retain Apple users, even when Steve Jobs was between Apples. It seems like Apple is on

I like the choice of Lua and SDL, not only as a modern LOGO/BASIC alternative. I think it can go much further. I guess as a minimum you want the editor to function to the level of notepad/pico/nano, and then perhaps have helpers with regar

I think this is the problem with rewriting platforms, libraries and languages from scratch instead of incrementally chiseling it into something stable like in the open unix world.

The way I see it is that because he wants to be profitable by innovating and delivering great products, he was aware that he should not let innovation be hampered by profit motives. This is especially important in the market he was operati
