OpenSSH. That one project and the integrity with which he has run it forgives all the problems you might perceive him to have had. And yes, sometimes you have no option but to be an ass hole to get your point across. Linus has equally bee

Not many people would know Theo "personally" but you do know his reputation. You do right? That's all that is required to give his statements some weight.

So are "seeing" and "hearing". I for one am looking forward to the time when neural implants will translate my high level programming thoughts into microcode sent directly to the CPU for execution.

How about building some toilets for the 750 million human beings (they happen to be Indian citizens) who don't have access to basic sanitation when they wake up each morning? Fucking idiots... probe the sun my fat brown arse.

Isn't this pretty much how your country works? Why do you expect to be treated different in a specific situation (IT industry and your job) when that is the overall attitude anyways?

The only good thing about this is showing the world that the curries are finally stepping up. It will not make one iota of difference to anything Microsoft does, its culture, policies, etc.

Let this be a reminder to all hackers and geniuses out there: protect yourself from your society. You exist purely at the mercy of your physical realm. It does not matter how essential your discoveries, how profitable, how useful to mankind

Thank you for taking the time to reply in such detail. I can see that you are a committed Scala dev and what I write below will probably not make a difference to you. However, for anybody else: I think what I want to say is, Scala is not a

Good engineering practise? 1. Lack of documentation 2. Breaking backwards compatibility 3. Opaque error messages 4. Encourages ad-hoc syntax that makes sense to one person (or team) but does not to the next -- maintenance nightmare. 5. Lack

"massive amounts of tooling necessary to fulfill the promise of ZeroVM" For sure. To me it seems like a good environment for isolating processes and users in security and execution contexts -- just boot up an instance, perform a t

Ah right, you were luckier then I was. I took an AI course at uni so that I could see some Lisp in action (and learn AI) but the bastard lecturers (2 of them) change it to ... JAVA! While still using the Norvig textbook that had the algorit

Assuming your concern is across a single/uniform language: How about Smalltalk as a basis or the foundation of what you want? If somebody pursues the approach, how hard would it be to develop a layer that takes care of the safe-unsafe

This is a sad discussion -- both the essay and here. Nobody has bothered to look back in history. "You need to be able to inspect and traverse objects, all objects." Smalltalk? Lisp Machines? "There also must be a culture whe

This is demonstrably false. I agree that cost of living in Australia is high, but you can buy a loaf of "baked in store" white or wholemeal bread for AUD $2. Sure its not organic but it is fresh.
