The conference would most likely be considered a semi-public place and therefore have limited expectations of privacy. In general your right to privacy is dictated by the reasonable expectation of such, E.G. when at home you've got a reason

I read this as a thinly veiled "eat whole foods" argument. Same criticism applies to such arguments as was voiced in previous articles about soylent. Just as a simple counter example, I don't like tomatoes and therefore don't eat them, so f

The problem was in how the argument was stated. The post essentially claimed that his diet is dangerous until proven otherwise and therefore everyone should follow a "natural" diet of whole foods instead. It's a false dichotomy, even if his

The servers. I was looking around on the site to try to find more info about Kiln, and one of the FAQs was the system requirements for the server (for companies that want to host their own Kiln instances I'd assume). With git or Mercurial I

I like the concept, but I have two objections to it. One, as pointed out by others, I'm highly skeptical of some of those edge cases. They mention a few of them at the end of that article, but they largely gloss them over saying they're dea

Different businesses have different criteria to evaluate their tools by. OCaml has had some limited success in the financial market, and I think Scheme may have as well, due in part to the ease with which high performance code can be writte

That's irrelevant, the practice is illegal as it violates the right to privacy.

In my case it's more often "this language makes tradeoffs that are counter to the way I want to work". E.G. I won't touch C++ with a 10 foot pole because I believe it's the compilers duty to track down and at least warn me about as many err

Windows 2000 was targeted at businesses and servers. It's specifically excluded as this is talking about the consumer releases that get bundled with new computers. Likewise the NT releases and any of the server releases are also excluded.

This is an ancient idea. I read a 2600 article back in the early 2000s or possibly late 1990s that did essentially this same thing using a bash script and one of the first URL shortening services available at the time.

Is this just an ad? I was expecting some sort of consumer reports type deal, you know "My Viewsonic burst into flames, don't buy this, it has a fatal flaw" type message. Instead I get a full page talking about how awesome this monitor is. E

How can a company have income like that and still be that far in the hole? Where are the costs coming from? Obviously bandwidth is going to cost, but I can't imagine it takes that big a hunk of their profits. Obviously the top expense is go

And even if you know how it seems like every time I log into facebook (admittedly rarely) there's a handful of new spam games making the rounds. It's a little frustrating that there's no blanket option of block all of the stupid game spam,

Nice article. In response to the last part I can think of a way to achieve the sort of smart escaping via template you talk about using Haskell and Hamlet (among other templating systems used by yesod). I believe, although I can't absolutel

Whether I scrub ads or not has no bearing on whether a site I view makes money because I don't click on ads. Now, some sites I read do run advertising in their articles, that is, they choose to plug particular products they feel deserve att
