Excellent article! I agree with all points here. I think one of the most important is "Emacs is easy to configure". You just Google a problem and copy 2 lines in your .emacs. No need to click here and there, then find out you have to do it

Science seems to agree with you [1]. The human race is so successful because from almost birth on, humans are collaborating. Some patterns can be seen where small children are much more willing to collaborate and after success to share the

The usual boring response on that, but which I found always more true every day, is that you've got to enjoy the path forward to actually be happy. When looking back to my life, I think the moments I were going forward were the happy times

I don't want anyone snooping around my medical history, except myself. My doctor should only have the right to look at my paper history or my iPad (with secure, offline data). Don't assume governments are more or less evil than companies.

Yes. Near the French / Italian border there are targeted controls for counterfeited products. Common sense should tell you you can't get a Gucci bag for 200$, or anywhere outside of a luxury shop ;) And yes, you are also liable if you were

I don't think it is. I guess the problem that should be tackled is not how the movies & music are actually done, but rather the way they are sold. The problem in my view - without pointing at anyone - is that not enough people are willi

I'd say Lady Gaga is clearly at a much higher level than Madonna musically. Hear her sing with Tony Bennett. Madonna is good at marketing, but did she write her own music or plays the piano? Behind all the provocation, Gaga is a talented mu

For me it conflicts with the Gnome Terminal Solarized theme though. I had to switch to GTK Emacs (from emacs -nw) to get the color scheme to work. But it looks fantastic now :)

As a side note, the author has a very beautiful color scheme on the screenshot. I suspect the Solarized scheme.

Frankly, I don't understand at all why you got downvoted here. Agree with you. The only issues I see now are a possible China hard landing or a massive jump in energy prices. For the second, one should act harder toward renewable energies,

But ultimately stocks have to pay a dividend. I agree that a bond-only system would lead to a lot of junk bonds, but mainly because lot of stocks are also junk. In any case, some bonds belong to a balanced portfolio. Too much people have to

But not the German one. Actually it's one of the best working system in the world nowadays. And if you look at other well performing countries in Europe - Scandinavia, Switzerland, they are nowhere working like crazy. Holland has quite a su

"Entreprise" is not limited to Windows. Far, far, far from that. I don't know your background, but in software development (let us exclude plain Website just publishing information), most of it is written for enterprise customers, not priva

Amazon has quite an awesome service actually for the few times I had to deal with them. They also have quite a few users. Oh, but right, those are actually customers paying for what they get. I guess Google support is what you get for usi

I agree with you completely. Too bad in this case one can't view the upvotes... Keeping logins across different domains is definitely an anti-pattern.

I guess that in any kind of game you have a system to sort out the worst players. Going after your theory, there are sure plenty of 1/100000 out there, but they never get in a major development project. Another point: there are also superst

Two unrelated comments: - The most massive impact of driverless cab will be to send all taxi and truck driver to unemployment all of a sudden. Many post workers and pizza guys also nearly after. - Google is not the only one working on that.

Can you elaborate on that? Are you thinking of a special theory, or a book explaining that? I know the work from Rifkin, who is arguing for "despite". I understand that the real picture may somehow be different... For example, gains in heal

Which has some truth in it. Our world is already struggling to keep people employed despite continuous productivity gains. As developers, we know the next 20 years will probably be low risk for us, but many professions are endangered. Who w

It's more like telling that a truck driver works in transportation or logistics. The thing is, of course forums and IM were here since a long time. But different developments have made people aware of it around 2005, it's gotten a lot more

Yes, still IBM have been much better stock results than MSFT. Indeed, over this one year, the IBM stock has been doing better than AAPL.
