I am quite convinced it would be possible to build a pleasantly-looking development of $25,000 sale-value housing at 50 or 70 miles away from the urbanized area and connect it with a fast transit rail to the main urbanization. Empty land sh

They can also add "paper women". There is probably even an opportunity for a service company to provide a catalog with profiles, from which to add paper women to your board: "Add a paper woman to your board! Cheap and easy! $

In terms of recurring income (retainers) or access to "upsides", corporate employment does not do any better than the gig economy. You can charge $250/hour for a gig, but I doubt that corporations would agree to pay that out

Shunting-yard has an incredible validation problem. It works until you hit errors in the expression, and you need to output meaningful error messages. Even LL(1) reacts more gracefully to errors. I think that this is the main reason why Dij

Pascal can undoubtedly be shoehorned into the target of a simple, single-pass LL(1) parser. Doing so comes at a real "flexibility" cost, though. For example, don't try to define your functions in any arbitrary order. It won&#

As I see it, Lisp is a language in (pretty much) pure prefix notation and of which the core data structure is a linked list and in which functions are first-class values. The advantages of the prefix notational purity are manifold, but scho

Politics is bad because the very object of voting is wrong. We are supposed to vote for people who will invent new laws. What if we simply do not want new laws?

"Removing fingerprintability" amounts to the browser just NOT sending all the http request headers that it sends by default. How hard can it be to "comment out" these lines?

If science is statements about facts, then philosophy is statements about other statements, the only requirement being that these statements are non-contradictory. That makes mathematics just a subdivision in philosophy, in which statements

> All businesses are about money. Everything else comes second. That does not explain why Facebook did not make money for the first nine years (2004-2012) of their existence. They were not worried about that. It also does not explain why

Entrepreneurship is always about achieving a non-financial goal. "The best furniture in the world", "A PC on every desk", and so on. Making money is just a speculative side effect of doing something right. Worse, in that

I do not think it is just engineers. Anybody raised for 15 years being told what to work on by their teachers, is not easily going to set his own goals. He has been conditioned to waiting for someone else to do that. The ones more likely to

I had a quick look at the language and checked about my two pet pieves. What does the code look like when handling JSON data? (that is when I slammed the door on Golang) What does the code look like when starting an external process, supply

In practical terms, away from the nebulous confusion, object orientation means that the actual function to call must first be looked up in the first argument of the function to execute: x.f(y,z); <==> F=ooLookup(x,f); F(x,y,z); This s

Not after a conversation between judge, prosecution, defense attorney and offender. They obviously concluded after long deliberations that it was in everybody's best interest to just apply the law. In the case of a first-time offender,

The system forcibly taxes the population, forces the children through a funnel, and then witnesses how all of that does not work particularly well. The alternative would be to cancel Statist involvement and let the problem solve itself. We

In theory, you cannot (easily) steal from the counter-party in a lightning payment channel. If you try to broadcast an old and more favourable state (=set of balances) to the blockchain, you have automatically also disclosed enough informat

C/C++ compilers are different from other compilers. They are forced to support all kinds of complicated, too-many-cooks-spoil-the-broth, design-by-committee standards. If you just wanted to do another portable assembler, your new compi
