Selective breeding doesn't create fundamentally new organisms like transgenic GMOs, however -- organisms for which there is no method to predict their interactions with our one and only environment (Earth, if that wasn't clear :p)

Doesn't mean it's wrong. Prohibition of transgenic GMOs may be necessary to prevent widespread harm. http://www.fooledbyrandomness.com/pp2.pdf

I think it's because team management in tech, despite acknowledgement of the results of these studies, hasn't actually integrated the results meaningfully, so we're not really better off 2 years later.

Yeah, I'm guessing that if you're underperforming and you bring up how you feel psychologically unsafe you'll still get drummed out all the same. Which validates your unsafe feeling...

Yeah, I was thrown by that attribution chain and the fact that the article is hosted on a site that apparently belongs to a "Rob Landley"...? edit: I see now by the URL that it's a mirror. This kind of thing takes me back to

Hence public announcements and public apologies are too be taken with (at least one) large grain of salt. It's up to his victims to forgive him -- not us.

I think it'd be useful to learn, but nobody in the industry will hire you specifically to work in Racket. We used DSLs on top of a data pipeline to create things like particle effects, animations, sound, and scripting. We chose Racket

Yes, the "Uncharted" series and "The Last of Us". Our team built a large system in Racket that built all kinds of data for the game. The front end could and often did have many layers of DSLs using Racket syntax macros.

Yeah, mine was little of a leading question certainly. Oracle seems like bad guys, but it's really the board of Sun that had priorities other than the health of Solaris and the long term employment of the engineers. Oracle was a known
