"Rather than join the chorus of anti-German propaganda, he preferred, doggedly, to inspire his little class with the beauty of the language, and of its literature and culture." That was in 1940. In 2017 those languages would be fa

Not only reasonable, but it is a must. I think the "don't roll your own crypto" phrase is widely misunderstood. A better phrase would be - learn as much about crypto as you possibly can, to clearly understand why it is a bad

Since a package has to be at least 3 years out of date to be included in debian stable, and wayland is only 4 years old, it will take another 10 years. And it is probably a good thing, i tried switching to wayland but it didnt make much s

Slighly offtopic. Our own languages start incorporating pictograms and hieroglyphs, there are a little over 1000 emoji codepoints. How many syllables do you need to spell out an emoji?

I don't quite understand what you mean. In modern standard mandarin it is pretty much one character = one syllable. They'd have to travel 3000 years back in time to recover the lost syllables.

I started learning mandarin only a few months ago, but from what i learned so far, there is no easy way to switch from 汉字 to pinyin. Pinyin is an essential learning tool, but loses to much context and meaning encoded in the chinese characte

Back in the day using CVS, and subversion later was a constant struggle. Before switching to git i used darcs for several years and tried mercurial. Git was clearly better than any of them. So, how can you tell that git is no good, if it is

People keep talking about git's terrible UI. I dont get it, anybody who had used subversion or cvs before could grasp the basics in like 5 minutes and have much better user experience.

In Moscow all buses are equipped with GPS/GLONASS trackers and there is an app, Yandex.Transport, that shows you where all the buses are. It is hard to keep a precise schedule in traffic, but with the app you always know how far away t

I guess a GPS navigator is not an excuse for not having a map or not knowing how to read one, at least on longer out of town trips. I've been burned a number of times when a gps navigator tried to take a 'shorter route' throu

I still think it is a very big stretch to go from web browsers (which suck on many levels) to unix bashing. Most non-programmers don't come anywhere close to a terminal window, despite running some form of unix on their devices. I agre

Some of the complaints seem reasonable. But how did he make the jump from the web-faxmachine to unix? did i miss something? Web pages being saved as blobs and not providing raw data is not a problem technologists can fix unfortunately.

Don't write code if you can avoid it and somebody will sell you a half-baked closed source SaaS, which will be acquired and closed in two years.

Or, on a more optimistic note, there wont be any computers by then. We will be left of humanity will live in caves and hunt giant mutant rabbits with bare hands and sharpened sticks.
