Are there lots of females in the industry where you are? I wouldn't be surprised if there were way more than in west. It seems (from my limited outsider view) that communism/socialism was much more egalitarian regarding gender and

A lot has changed in 50years. Number, size, accuracy of weapon impacts. Farming's reliance on mechanization, pesticides, fertilizer. Way more food is manufactured/processed. How many people even know what to do with a sack of flou

But I want my house to listen and sense me. The advantages far outweigh worries. Besides what makes Big Brother isn't the existence of surveillance it is the lack of control over it, who uses it, and how. So fight for open source, tra

Ok, awesome. Now I'm wondering if we PCDOS in a broswer... 1) Can we say the claim (I think of mozilla's) that the web was going to be the new OS is true? 2) If DOS today, will it be 5 or 10 years before we get BSD or *nix in the

I've never heard of those. Python on the other hand has been my primary professional language for years. i.e. people pay me to program in python. See how PyPy might be a tinsy bit more relevant / meaningful to professional develop

Deterministic! My usual coding projects (distributed, networked, multi-process/multi-thread) are so far from determinism and my problems so many levels above the concerns of C/C++. Both are needed. Just saying I'm glad other

Man! I'd never want to code in language that forces me to manage memory. A boring, solved problem the compiler/run time should handle for me.

It's fundamentally wrong to have non domain expert, "generic" devs. To be effective your devs need to become domain experts in whatever they are developing

Adding a variable is creating state. Defeating "past tense without state." What you described, has ever, has recently seems like classical finite state machine.

I thought these weren't "watching" as much as they were using stingrays to slurp up cellular location and metadata.

I'm happy with this level of response. It's a little bad in that they essentially coerced password disclosure and I'm guessing they would have acted on any other crime (say copyright violation) they happened to find during s

The difference between two programmers one producing great to read/maintain code is not lazinesss, incompentence or one being overworked. It is discipline. The disciplined developer will produce better code.

yeah, I'm not even sure what's suppose to be confusing? That the "constant" comes first, before the comparison operator?

yeah, in retrospect it's obvious. How do you get any "vice" legalized. You figure out how municipalities and states can tax the fuck out of it.

It's a LOT less harmful than tobacco. It also is usable in many non-smoking forms. Tobacco chew and snuff still give you cancer. But, since USA has outlawed research there is ver limited data on how not bad cannabis is.

What would be the reaction to? "Hey loyal customers, yeah fuck you, you have to get in line behind everyone else." Going out of business cause you treat customers like crap won't get more people driving EVs either.

The real income inequality has nothing to do with skills, the inequality is between those who work and those who own. Top few percent vs everyone else. If you think skilled jobs are automation / off-shoring proof, I'll see you in
