    I'm not considering a move to China or those parts of the world. But since they're moving at such high speeds, I'm betting their workforce needs are quite high, so "every help we can get" should be a good motto.

    Depends if they're successful. Or are you making any hopes that Dr. Z [1] will stand by and watch his empire crumble? I'm betting that if the China auto industry will be successful, just like Huawei is, we're gonna see some t

    My faith in the "free world" dwindles day by day. Seems like "academic freedom", "free speech" and the like are only catchphrases for a higher purpose. The white man does indeed speak with forked tongue.[1] [1]

    I've always had this suspicion that open source software is some kind of propaganda, that it's not purely organic. The work is hard, the benefits are huge, yet the contributors are paid zilch. If I were a big company I would for s

    Maybe the Blub paradox applies to code editors as well, As long as our hypothetical Blub programmer is looking down the power continuum, he knows he's looking down. Languages less powerful than Blub are obviously less powerful, becaus

    Well, let me know if you need help getting started with it. The built in tutorial usually helps. Yes, well, see what happens? Every time fads change or new languages appear, you have to change your editors. What if you could have just one e

    When you're advanced enough, there is no need for you do to IP. Maybe the risk is not worth it or there is nothing to gain from it. It's the same argument with the open markets. When you're already a developed economy, open m
