Elon musk has so much money, why can't he just be his own lobbyist instead of getting his fanboys on this. I have no stake in this.

There's no clear selective pressure on the virus, and there are no candidate proteins in the virus that would easily be changed to make it more contagious. I wouldn't worry about it.

If there's one thing I've learned about FOSS, it's that everyone is looking for an excuse to fork things. Linux will never develop a monoculture - because someone can and will fork it. How many distributions are there? deskto

This init process debate has brought out one of the worst elements of people in the FOSS community: treating some FOSS technology as an extension of their identity. Let's keep some perspective here. We are literally just talking about

I think it peaked at some point during the 80's and then declined. Ancedotally, I've certainly met more women who wrote cobol and the like back in the day than women working in my current career. And there are a lot more women in

This wasn't really the focus of the article, but I'm annoyed by how so many articles feel the need to "defend" D&D. The 80's and the height of D&D hysteria was over 25 years ago. If there's anyone who s

Softlayer was ahead of amazon by about 6 months. They just didn't use the term cloud. Or in the founder's terms "We knew it was awesome, but we didn't have a name for it". (Disclaimer: pre-merger employee)

Or, you know, male significant others could take up an equal amount of responsibility in the household.

It's interesting that despite the authors conclusions that women are busy because of men not taking on equal responsibilities, this is the only discussion of gender in the thread at the moment. I suspect that many who commented on the

No. A* uses a heuristic and cost function to decide which nodes to expand next, rather than BFS which uses a straight up queue. They do have a lot in common though.

I see these articles, and what troubles me is that they assert schools are a certain way without backing it up. People love to complain how spoiled kids are these days, but how much truth are in those claims? My education was certainly like

To be fair, I don't really remember the first generation of the ipod being that successful. It wasn't until the ipod mini came out, a vastly superior product to the original ipod, that it became a must have gadget.
