It's simple. Hand over the monopoly on information to your surveillance state and you don't get to know when it still doesn't work. If thinking the govt is broken is treason, you can't fix it any more, but not because it

I wonder whether there is a Go4-like approach to control Marco, you know, that kind of PatternPattern that makes your code hard to read.

A random fact, yet one that I still find really sad. It's far too easy to believe that "research in history" would be so much easier in the internet age.

Spooky being google intertwining with the institutions that are supposed to defend your rights, and defend them from google, if necessary. But how is any govt able to do that if google is such a huge factor in making their interests heard.

And then there's this... https://wikileaks.org/google-is-not-what-it-seems/ Speaking of spooky stuff and google, this article still takes the cake. EDIT: for completeness sake, there has been a follow up: https:&

Oh come on. npm isn't here to stay. There will be real programming languages to work productively with, if programmer wills it.

Slowly moving away from google what my personal email concerns - to protonmail, btw; I do use G+ as an excuse for social media, though, mostly for being able to stalk Linus on his scuba diving trips.

Okay, sorry for the noise, then. I'll try to write my comments after I read the article next time.

I thought of Brooks when I saw the title; as I mentioned in my other comment, I see a kind of amusing pendant to Conway's law here: a complex programming language will produce a complex codebase.

by mar77i 9y ago
Isn't there anyway some of a pendant to Conway's law in this? I mean, C++'s standard library is - or at least used to be - rather complex, so the people that would go there and use C++ for their project - would more likely th

I can't help but feel betrayed clicking the link "guy ... has been fired" and then immediately reading "guy has resigned". That's not exactly the same thing.

Well the way I understood it, HK doesn't really need to care who they're pissing off, since they're kind of used to pissing off their big brother.

I still fail to see the problem at hand? Would faux rationality that the world is getting better constantly not keep us in silent optimism, as opposed to - urm - violently keep fighting for it being made much worse? What cruel bastard would

None of the examples I got to read in this article are in any logical contradiction with the original enlightenment. It is shown that Locke didn't originally fully understand his own new school of thought - maybe because it's naiv

Still better than my own existential dread about all the things programming I'll never be able/doing/learning/getting a hang on, which I derive from the realization that my lifespan is limited. I mean, it's not easy

okay, but only for at least as a grave mistake as google's. wait. when people die for no reason whatsoever, that counts, right?

I just noticed my argument has analogies to Eric S. Raymond's argument about the cathedral and the bazaar. I'd actually love to see a bazaar on the cpu side of things, be it just for the sake of what community efforts can achieve

The point here should be about responsibility. When I screw up something that I picked up from "out in the open", eg. my server deployments, it more technically makes it my own fault. I am therefore more inclined to study an open

They work on their collection of processes to produce these things, as to basically have non-proprietary way to produce chips from scratch. The other thing I know is that the guy at least has been involved in other layers of production, nam

It kind of makes sense. The total behavior is a combination of impulse and regulation. People know themselves and tend to behave (self-regulate) in a learned routine, hence regulate most of their impulses to... what probably amounts to a so

The way I wanted to make it look was that those who thought they knew what they were talking about have no way of knowing on which side of the pond they were. :) EDIT: ...because your tools are useless in the face of ignorance.
