Exclusion based on contribution is different than exclusion based on discrimination. It's a very important difference. If I, just some random dude, submitted a correct mathematical paper solving a millennium or Hilbert puzzle to a pres

I understand you feel that way but materially it's incorrect. You can be exclusive for exclusive-sake and you'll attract the dolce & gabana crowd and maybe that's what they want - people who will spend $500 on alcohol. Bu

Kitkatklub dress code is wacky. They're insanely serious about it but it's easy to conform to. It's a costume party. As to the other point, you can separate the process to avoid the kind of blanket discrimination I think we c

Right. It's a form of segregation. A place whose roots are in Bohemian, black, gay and trans clubs with specific focus on welcoming outcasts should be explicitly inclusive. Traveling to Asia, South America and Europe to meet with elect

I'd imagine when the AI dust clears there's going to be consumer and producer sides of AI and the consumer requirements will be a carveout of the producer. This just appears to be the case with everything else. Making a video game

Things like hardware raytracing probably aren't needed and there's shading units, texture mapping, and ROPs. I'm not a hardware engineer but there's probably some way Intel can rejigger its IGT ( https://en.wik

Arm snatched Intel's hold on the Apple market and we can invoke any Clayton Christensen book on the Raspberry PI series. Maybe not the Raspberry PI 5, but what about say, the imaginary 8 or the 9 a few years hence? The Pi 400 isn'

They were in big trouble then. The entire company was riding on it being great. It could have easily gone awry as it did for Data General, Honeywell, CDC, AST, Tandy, Olivetti, Xerox, DEC Rainbow, AT&T Hobbit, Wang 2200 and Unisys. Stro

It doesn't look like any of them were comically racist and were just named after questionable people. I was hoping there'd be things so antiquated you'd have to look it up, eg: stereotypes about people from Dalmatia or Tyrol

Well right, "perl 6" quickly became a bad name for the project - they should have switched to something like "raku" maybe 20 years ago. Given that, nobody got the memo, so calling it "perl 6" is still a very fa

raku is perl 6, it's just called "raku" now. Given that, it's 23 years old and done by Larry Wall so it's not exactly yet another fly-by-night hype language, just something that is not in the top 50.
