I'm an idiot... Randomly read the website footer and misinterpreted "This web site is copyright © Vadim Markovtsev, it's code is released under CC-BY-SA 3.0 Unported at GitHub." Sorry.

Hi, I've helped a bit with the development of LLJS. While we haven't worked on it in a while, I'm not sure it's quite dead. More like in maintenance mode right now, although admittedly I don't think it's a prio

I think the problem is cross-browser backwards compatibility. Until we solve this (maybe wasm will), we can't really deploy on the web in anything but JS.

Most VP's do not sell computers (or even software). They sell goods and services that depend on computers. What you're saying is more like "a VP at UPS or FedEx should understand everything about engines." That's ri

Exchanging a key pair specifically for future anonymous communication between two parties using a publicly published identity seems like a good compromise for communicating anonymously with previously unknown parties.

I think this is why the author recommends NOT publishing public key identity publicly. Additionally, signing may not actually be necessary or desirable (e.g. given out-of-band transmission of the receiver's public key and a desire to a

I can attest that this is not unheard of in southern california. 1995 cars are driving all over the place. Cars seem to have a lifecycle where they get sold to poorer owners with more and more miles piling on, and only get junked when they

Supercell is in Finland, an EU country. From my understanding Supercell actually pays much higher than prevailing wages.

Yeah, I'm fairly sure this was entirely intentional. Fits the futuristic western sounds nicely.

Why can't you do both? Some people will still use Patreon, some might prefer Google contribute... Or is Google insisting on an exclusive contract?

Completely agree on your suggestions for urban areas. However, not everyone wants dense housing... Suburbs exist because people do not want to be that close to each other. Some people want to own their own yards/property/houses, h

Coming from the compiler side of things, you're sacrificing in usability to make it possible for the JIT compiler to optimize the code further. If you allocate all memory ahead-of-time, the GC never needs to operate on that region, whi

While it may be true that we have a finite learning cap per day, different people have a different cap. I know folks who voraciously read everything and learn many new (and different) things per day, and I know people who can't handle

While I sometimes wish it were not the case, most companies do not exist to improve the world... The purpose of most companies is to make profits, not to advance free software. Making software freer can often cost companies profits, hence,

I agree that seems to be a common pastime on discussion forums, even such a fine one as this. However, I was happy to see that the blog post simply focused on what the author could do to improve, rather than lambasting others.

Anyone can be a snob. Unfortunately it's not a problem confined to academia.

Why are sports unhealthy? They are in fact extremely healthy, in the physical sense. Professional sports are simply an outgrowth of more "natural" sporting activities. Sports, even the professional variety, are not carefully engin

Having a valid reason why some activity is intrinsically bad (e.g. fast food) is very different from disliking such activities because they are "beneath" you. Sports are widely loved and not intrinsically bad. (I'd even argue

I'm guessing that most consumers don't care about ethernet. Those who do can often be using a docking station when they want it.

If you are used to binding caps lock to ctrl, the lack of that key is critical. I find it hard to do anything serious on machines without it now...

You're probably thinking of the M series Broadwell chips. The Core i series isn't really out yet, but I think it should be comparable (and more efficient) than the Haswell i7 chips...

I'm not so sure on this... Competition is still a strong motivator, even if nationalism is waning.
