I hope Mr. Galt doesn't leave us hanging here. I could really use the closure.

I feel bad for calling this a dull article. This is actually a decent and eye opening article that introduces people to unconventional computing. For middle-aged people who have a cursory interest in the direction of alternative computing

For all the interesting things happening today, this is an incredibly dull article. I'm convinced I read this same article in the 90's. If we're going to see any developments in alternative architectures and hardware, it&#x2

Copyright thugs have been punishing people with outrageous fines and settlements for years. $1B doesn't seem excessive. Live by the sword. Die by the sword.

It's really not that much. The outline makes it look like a book, but the truth is each of the 15 "chapters" range between a small and a medium sized post. Most of the subsections are one or two small paragraphs.

His qualifying words make him sound weak and pensive. My money says he's not even a modern visionary/renaissance man.

> What value is an Autopilot that knows you are not using it the way you are supposed to, but keeps accelerating you anyway? Good point. An autopilot, whose sole purpose is learning, should make sure the user is engaged so it's pro

I didn't mean to imply all the prelude code was perfect. What I meant to imply was some parts are insofar as the specification is complete and specific enough that it yields one solution. An extreme example would be the id function.

It's important to know what kind of code you're working on before you start setting low standards. Some code is perfect, but it's only perfect because it was define with extreme mathematical precision (Ex: Haskell Prelude cod

Maps and graphs are usually used to tell a story or to highlight an interesting pattern. Am I missing something here? All I see is a color coded map whose colors change volatilely because the scales are changing.

LINQPad is really nice for this. You get intellisense and an integrated debugger if you pony up for the license.

I love the idea of making it easy for highly skilled foreigners to job shop because it's in my interest that they are paid competitively. It also imports people who create value and bring in additional tax revenue. I'm hesitant a

What's particularly great about this comparison tool is how fast and efficient is can asynchronously compare and synchronize large sets of remote files whether it be SMB, FTP, SSH/SFTP. You can also compare archives to folders an

This is ridiculous. I personally think Brexit was a bad idea, but what do down-voters expect to accomplish by down-voting a legitimate comment from a person presenting a different perspective? Do you really expect you're going to lear

I feel like you're missing a big piece of the puzzle. A friend of mine did a lot of research for the book Slave Nation, and he summed up the circumstances which sparked the revolution and united the US. The way he very broadly sums it

Minus the type system that is itself Turing complete. In all seriousness, the culture behind C# is way too conservative for it to ever to become like Scala. They add features, but they're nowhere near as bold and daring as the Scala t

I think you're absolutely on point. Working for an established tech company is a great way to accelerate your continued education. Just because you're not doing everything yourself doesn't mean you can't develop a broa

You realize that a person doesn't have to belong to the Illuminati as a precondition to lobby for special or opaque legislation, right? The only precondition intent needs is a conflict of interest. Look at Intuit. A number of years b

A much better solution would to remove any barriers an H1B worker has to shop for a better job. If we want to live an egalitarian society, it's in our collective interest for immigrants to earn as much as the rest of us. That only ha

That's a good point. People tend to be empathetic to those who they feel like they represent them, so they'll be more likely to forgive corruption as they'll chalk it up to the landscape in which the official has to operate.

I know this isn't a popular idea, but I think people need to be more empathetic to those who have been entrusted with power. I despise corruption, but I think we do ourselves a disservice when we focus all our attention on the official
