Fair enough and sounds like a good career. I'm up to my elbow in microservices.

There is a world outside of Perl. There really is. It's a general observation of how we are infatuated with composibility, then tire of it and unify and then learn to love it again because the unifications grow stale and weird of which

I realized the hype for composing $thing$s was overblown around 1993 when I learned I could just have "A Grand Unified $thing$" and almost immediately stopped using a dozen different $thing$s. Then, a decade or two later, I realiz

That's an interesting ideology you have there, ideologue.

I get what you are saying, but surely their definition of "peace" itself differs quite dramatically. I venture to say they in fact are not after the same thing, while they may be using the same words. Their use of the word &quot

Shell != Unix (philosophy) as I’m sure you are aware. The unix philosophy is having a shell and being able to replace it, not its particular idiosyncrasies at any moment in time. This is like bashing Windows for the look of its buttons.

The commute isn’t paid, so who cares. Let them drive 4 hours a day. But don’t you dare stealing a few minutes in idle talk, because yes, not being valuable every second you are on company premises is stealing . You should feel bad. Now p

I am, in fact, aware of that. > if you can't answer it then it's not going to happen. My point is that if we as a technical community don't start looking outside our technical bubble the powers that be will at some point

Why you need a robot dog when some cheap RC car with a $2 camera will do. Anything you can think of that a robot dog can do some cheap bullshit will do better. I am totally not seeing the value of these things.

The world will slowly, slowly converge on this but not before many years of hyping and preaching about how this shit is the best thing since sliced bread and shoving it into our faces all day long, but in the meantime I suggest we be mindfu

People are remarkably cheap and versatile especially if you happen to don’t give a fuck about them. I find it hard to imagine a high-tech incredibly unreliable complex robot to be of any value in the battlefield. Even my phone is remarkably

Agents introduce causality, reflection, necessity and various other sub-components never to be found in purely stochastic completion engines. This is an improvement, but it does require breaking down what each "agent" needs to do.

It's no wonder extraverted normie and managerial types that get through their day by talking think throwing words at a problem is the best thing since sliced bread. They have problems like "compose an email that vaguely makes the

Not the world, our patch on it. We more or less succeeded in the physical world depending on who you ask. Don’t see the problem with the digital.

In a way I am definitely seeing your perspective here. Letting "good guys" win this race ocassionally is an improvement over never letting them win. It's just that I think we can do better, because I think the web is a hostil

The analogy is not perfect, but physically the police already has extreme powers and they can (and ocassionally are) abused, but that's the price you pay for protection. If we don't, we accept bad guys will be running all over us

Maybe it's more like analyzing and publishing the security vulnerabilities of said factory or laboratory. It's not trivially right or wrong to do so. It seems acceptable, because you are helping them make it more secure (right?) y

I'm sorry for being the ignoramus and lazy ass that I am, having not read a single sentence of the article. You are, of course, right. Examining stuff to be brought into your own home is categorically different from meticulously analyz

Not sure, but I don't see why we can't have a civil discussion about it and I'm not seeing much of that. It's either A) we The People are completely free and nobody can intervene in any way or B) The Government is a tyra

I never quite understood why computing is so different from literally all other branches of reality. Systems need to be secure, I get it. But if we have a bunch of folks dedicating their life to breaking your shit I don't get how that

You basically reproduced the product by opening a couple of browser instances, right? What would polypane do for you? Maybe I am not getting it. I am probably not getting it.

"Computation irreducibility"[0] is Mr. Wolfram's word for it and I believe it has some relationship to his CA physics, but I won't pretend I understand. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computationa

Ah, I see! It's a cool idea, but .. let's try to be maximally obtuse and pedantic today. I'm a developer and it's HN after all. [4]tree is also code that yields data. At the end of the day some kind of parser needs to
