I am not a fan of Facebook, but this is one reason they did not want to get into being the arbiter of what is true (Along with a lot of other less noble reasons). There are indeed things that are demonstrably not true, or presented in a ver

The problem with decentralization as nice as it sounds is a decentralized group of people doesn't pick up all the work that is done by the core person/group. If that person or group is no longer doing a good job, a competing perso

It is both one of Ruby's greatest strengths and weakness. I found that metaprogramming was overused in Ruby with an obsession for clean syntax. This then made many projects very hard to debug, and many runtime errors that have traces l

The choice of "Meta" is very interesting. Chan-Zuckerberg started a project called "Meta" to increase the dissemination of science. This was a project going on for a while now [1] What does this mean for that? https:&#x
