You are very wrong. The EU is the only big power defending data privacy and fighting to protect the little rights user still have. It helps, of course, that they don't have domestic internet mammoths putting money in their pockets to g

To be clear: my personal opinion is that Linus' attitude about not breaking user space is the absolutely right one.

We are talking about APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), not implementations. Of course you are free to change the implementation of your API at any moment, as long as you keep the semantic and performance characteristics. If you hav

You won't have to deal with it. Whomever is using that old API has to deal with it. Their choice. We are talking about an API, not a shared service.

I'd say nonsense. Backwards compatibility is better than any other option. From time to time you need to provide new, clean versions of old APIs and that's it. Things get deprecated (as in "best not to use this unless you are

I agree with you, in fact. The issue is that the fact they decided to impose a single language to all the country is another example of the nationalism I was talking about. Deciding to erradicate existing languages and cultures for national

I don't really think that they care about British on this one. They are gone, after all. What really happens is that in the 15 last years English has gained space foot in the EU institutions, to the point that they are quickly becoming

Not really. Every EU Member State could only nominate one language. Some of them nominated an "alternative" one because their main one was already an official language (e.g. Irish). This is the reason the only Spanish language whi

Parts of Belgium. Just ~35% of Belgiums are French speakers. Most speak Dutch. Same for Switzerland, most Swiss speak German.

Well, it's history and education. In every country children are told quite silly things about the world and, in particular, about the importance of their country in the world. This is even worse for current or former empires (UK, Franc

Sometimes countries insist of fighting wars that have been over for a long time. This is one example. American attitude towards China rise is another example. Now more seriously, I think what the French are trying to do is just to avoid a c

As a non-American, I have a different perception. For me, Sundar is one of the few CEOs that doesn't sound like a maniac robotic snake oil seller. I find it refreshing and inspiring to get a CEO that talks line a normal human being add

Hmmmm... I wonder how you would avoid the expressions from being evaluated without wrapping then in a function (sorry if it's a lame question, I haven't done any JS in years). Not that there is anything wrong with lambdas, but it&

I got into clojure as a hobby for more than one year I am not an expert yet by any means. It took me a long time to become productive in Clojure. There were simply too many things to learn at once, from syntax, to tools, to, more important,

It would also disrupt food, drinking water and sweage. And all transportation, so even fuel would not be available. Without clean water and sanitation at home cities would be death traps. People living on an area with rivers and wild animal

Spain has very different climates. I live only 30 kms away from the cost in the North of Spain and temperatures of -4 or -5 C are quite common in the winter. Some times we even have -10 C. So temperetures bellow zero are definitely common h

EGB is one of my favourite books ever, but I think it doesn't explain Gödel's theorem as simple as it could. Of course, there are just so many wonderful things in EGB that this is not a fatal flaw by any means. There is a fantasti

This is mostly about saying no to yourself, not to others. The most difficult part of dedicating all your efforts to one objective is to accept that you are giving up on all the other things you might achieve. Worse, you need to accept that
