Why would you think Paleo food choices aren't appreciated by people who derive a massive amount of pleasure from food? Paleo/Primal foods are the most satisfying, tastey and healthy foods. The feelings around food are evolutionari

One does wonder how Vice thought it could extract some outrage from this, but try they did.

How was eliminating the Grizzly Bear (Brown Bear) appropriate? It was a matter of removing a competitor, it had nothing to do with human safety. It was done soley to improve the profit margin for ranchers. The Grizzly is on the California s

Well it’s the ranching lobby rather than the farm lobby, unless wolves have started eating corn. And ranchers have been killing wolves in the west for hundreds of years, so it’s not a new culteral shift. Personally though, I think if you wa

Vertical integration is certainly contrary to mainstream management philosophy these days. Today, the more dependencies you can work into your business plan, the smarter you seem. You’re an expert juggler, woo! That free API you were using

Engineering mastery is pretty cool all by itself, right?

As a developer, I’m hyperventilating with anticipation of a tool that significantly advances past the previous generation. Finally, something more than an incremental bump. Nothing gets me thinking about disruption more, than new, faster, c

Well it's unlikely that person was the only one on your team that could run a two-line scp script. Choose any two engineers and their expertise in, and understanding of Docker is going to differ, but they should equally and completely

Well I suppose Einstein and Newton have also not been relevant for over a decade in your opinion. Dawkins' achievements are part of the foundation of 21st century "biotech". Can you go into detail on your interpretation of th

The university should shoulder a huge degree of responsibility. They hired these "researchers". The apology should be coming from those who sponsored and funded the effort. Who cares about any "apology" these "resea

How is malice different from a breach of elemental ethics? How is malice different from abusing trust and showing no remorse from doing wrong? These guys are malicious clowns, who came up with an idea that would hurt Linux, but advance thei

Yep, we've had a taste of your contribution. Hope there's no more of it.

You're not. It does not come off as apologetic at all. It is clearly someone writing as if they wanted to go back in time and act like they legitimately were caring, thoughtful people who made a mistake. In fact, they thought this was

I think he mentions at least one: public access of instance variables. It would probably be better in most cases (large systems) to just make them all private, if you had to choose between private or public. Python can have its own conventi

Just read the article and came to say the same thing. The researchers' point was that the restrictions on indoor capacity are not helping, and should be done away with. You're no safer at 60 feet, because your safety depends a lot

With flash memory performance as good as they're getting now, swapping is not the bottleneck it was with spinning disks. The pain of being memory-constrained is not so painful anymore in many use cases.

I think I know what you're getting at: If all of the manufacturers suddenly requested private inventories to be set up, the chip manufacturer would be dedicating all of its production to filling up warehouses rather than shipping. It s

Much more need to be solved for the other two options, so the choice seems logical. Whether the best option is a good enough option, is a different question.

I think if SpaceX only cared about things to the extent it makes them money, they would have picked a simpler business and made a lot more money by now. I agree with you about science-per-dollar, but I don't think that was ever the cri

I agree. Mistakes are going to happen at some rate, 4% seems realistic. At least if the wrongfully-convicted person is still alive in prison, they can be released and compensated. They may be able to bring a civil suit if there was sufficie

The thing is, the person owning the place you rent is looking at their asset appreciating under you. They are going to either: raise your rent to keep pace, or, sell it out from under you to someone who will rent it out for much more than y

I wonder what effect the work-from-anywhere environment we've created, and pushed further with COVID-19 workplace closures, will have? Lots of the places where housing is being built en-mass now are previously rural areas, without oner

I agree, and given that they have only just started to look into it, I think it shows an appropriate amount of concern and urgency. They'll at least want to talk to the researchers and get their point of view, before committing any fur

There are some activities that should be "intimidating to newbies" though, shouldn't there? I can think of a lot of specific examples, but in general, anything where significant preparation is helpful in avoiding expensive

Interestingly, the author gives four reasons for building the project. Four “purposes” if you will. Learning was not one of them.

There's also a green book, on program design. Still have all three, mostly because of an inability to throw books away. They were so clear, as software documentation was before everyone created hyperlinked docs. Surprisingly though, th
