I don’t think it is viable currently either. I just think it is the ideal we should strive towards. Paradoxically, I don’t believe an anarchist society could work without private property rights. And if you are familiar with anarchist tho

By denouncing absolutism, you are being absolutist yourself ;-) Okay, so if the absense of State would prove to work for the majority of people (which seems to be your criterion), you would support a State-free society?

Sorry, not a native English speaker. What the State does depends on which State. You would probably agree that what the State does in Venezuela is atrocious, but of course pales in comparison to what State has done historically in other cou

Only if you equate society and State, which I don’t. But do you believe that anything is made morally right when the State does it, e.g., confiscating property?

Hi. I'd like to know how you design the database to separate data available via REST and data that is not.

If all those things were true, an HR department might not be able to help you in any case. An HR department doesn't make you physically stronger. They do not have control over the culture in general, and do not prosecute rape cases. Th

Whenever I hear about a case of a woman being harassed at work, I can't help but wonder how I would react in a similar situation. I am male and I have never experienced workplace harrassment, but if a female co-worker started writing t

Adopt a greyhound or galgo español instead of buying purebreds. It's a noble cause, and they are both healthy races in comparison.

Furthermore, you can easily use JSX in Mithril the way you do in React, and in React you can also use the JavaScript syntax instead of JSX (e.g. React.DOM.div). Reference: http://mithril.js.org/jsx.html

I've enjoyed Mithril for a while now, and you will be pleasantly surprised with the rewrite (i.e., the 1.0 version). It's different in quite a few ways and does away with the confusing controller concept for one thing. But best of

It seems that the JVM cannot be blamed for the slow startup time when using Clojure, but compiling Clojure's own core library is what makes it slow. And if you begin to add dependencies it will become even slower. The itself JVM is abl

I've found iocage's user interface to be more intuitive. I started using iocage because ezjail broke something when trying to upgrade a jail, but that was probably me doing something wrong.

But any laptop you buy is a product of some design chosen by other people and not something you can make work precisely as you want. You've adapted to the designs already available, not the other way around.

This is a problem with living goal-oriented lives. We set out goals and by working towards those goals, we are paradoxically eroding the feeling of purpose, because what comes after the goal? Having finished a goal (finishing your major in

I think that (spec/keys ...) specifies the possible keys of a map, i.e., required and optional keys. The specification of what values these keys take are external to the specification of which keys go into a map. So somewhere else you

I think that can be said also of most mainstream languages, i.e., that more complex expressions are less comprehensible. The same applies to increasing levels of nesting. Lisp's syntax is so different that it just looks less comprehens

An honest question: Why is it so important to have more women in IT? Is it in pursuit of general gender equality?

Yeah. Let's get essential. Let's not talk about non-essential stuff like programming languages, IDEs, tools. The only thing that really matters is that the thing you are using can make money. And lots of them. No. Let people discuss what
