I'll go ahead and assume that this comic is the reason why this has been posted: http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=3142#comic Because, as we have learned, there are no coincidences, there is only the force, or some such..

Where, exactly, have I talked about a "belief system"? Seeing deconstruction as part of a historical history of thought does not mean I subscribe to it as a quasi-religious belief system, so please stop pretending as much. In fact

Why do we need to bother with repeatable experiments for social sciences? You've read Heidegger, it seems ("who is fucking brilliant if you can get through his ridiculous prose"). We are already geworfen into this world, a

I agree with you on the isolation point, though the original article is far from expressing that clearly. This isolation is perhaps part of the reason why so many literary scholars start to include more and more cultural studies, which is u

Using deconstruction as a method is stupid, and misses the point entirely. At the same time, this article makes me simultaneously mad and sad, though I am sure it will serve to reinforce preexisting biases just fine, especially here. Using

Politically speaking, certain areas traditionally vote for certain political parties or sides. Traditionally, the Northeast and Northwest tend to vote further left (SPD, Die Linke), while the Southwest and Southeast are more likely to vote

Another really nifty way to achieve pretty much the same is to use iptables' built-in limit module like so: -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -m s

The thing is, hyperbole is more likely to provoke reactions than a seemingly "objective" and rational utterance. Hyperbole might annoy you or you might agree and find it funny, either way, it is more likely to touch you in som

Edinburgh uses them quite a bit. The problem is that these mean a different way of traffic flow. Usually, you do asynchronous switching, meaning all in one direction, then all in the other etc. Here however, you have to switch differently.

My comment did not make a direct comparison between a craftsman and a programmer in terms of absolute difficulty and height of entrance, and neither do I claim an oblique equality in terms of capability for everybody. What I do question, ho

Stop patting yourself on the back. Seriously . Because obviously, no other job requires critical thinking and learning continually . These are "skills" that are in no way related to programming, and do not explain an inclinati

Exactly. So why bother at all right? Root password? "root" will do. Encrypted partitions on the server? Useless. SSH keys? Silly overengineered junk. Following the same logic, why bother setting strong passwords on Gmail? Or even

Another really easy way: I have a simply memory game on my phone, 6x4 fields. If it is too late or if I am tired, I will make more mistakes and take longer to memorise things. On the other hand, I can turn and solve it much more quickly whe

I agree that it was braindead, however, there is a great deal of deliberation involved. Any other form of "meeting" (to be grossly and dangerously euphemistic) would have involved lawyers and probably also consular assistance. A m

I don't know about you, but I had to void my warranty in order to be able to use adblocking, proxy servers and run a ssh server on my phone. I would hardly call that "not locked down".

I disagree. You cannot simply buy the RPi at a normal retailer, unlike (smart)phones, laptops, (smart)TVs etc. etc. This does not mean the RPi isn't a fantastic little machine or that it doesn't offer new possibilities. However, t

My comment might involve a certain mount of hyperbole. In this case, it is exactly lumping all of HN together for the sake of making a point. I see this as a function of self-reflexion and self-critique, which no functioning system in my op
