Doctors in the US capped the supply, so it isn't a great comparison. Law currently has an oversupply problem, with low wages for most lawyers.

California has not had particularly good results with term limits for congresscritters. The usual explanation is that it empowers lobbyists, who have continuity and expertise. I don't know if it is true, but it's worth considering

China is better. They have a rich, Shenzen style ecosystem for all kinds of manufacturing. They are not perceived as better because of the cultural distance and because of deliberate obfuscation on the part of marketing departments. The US

This Guccifer was logged in as "Felix Dzerzhinsky", sort of like logging in as J. Edgar Hoover. This is borderline "sarcastic false flag" territory.

Fanotify does not replace inotify, it is a super limited thing for hooking into the vfs. It's intended audience is "people porting windows antivirus style things to linux". See the man page: http://man7.org/li

Kqueue and OS X's file watcher thing are worse than inotify. They give inexact reports of changes, so you have to do a bunch of manual scanning afterwards. I really don't understand the grandparent's gripe. Inotify scales wel

It's actually not super hard, Unix has pretty good support for this, and a lot of companies have something like this internally. The gulf between "good enough for a company" and "good enough for the world" is pretty

Bundlers default-global behavior is a disaster. Last time I got hired at a ruby shop none of the scripts worked, most projects didn't have a lock file, etc. Because they just ran the things directly, using whatever from the global envi

GAE is a great example of the lockin problem- they changed the pricing model, bills skyrocketed, and it was super hard to get out.

It is true, but he has written about housing before, and is mostly a tech journalist. So a reader familiar with him won't need a cite. Definitely a long term customer vs new customer onboarding problem. That said, Vox used to be super
