You don't have to be a sysadmin to be comfortable with command line tools. If you want to fully utilize your *NIX system you have to learn how to use that shit, it really isn't that hard. (I'm a developer.)

How would that even be possible when constructing an AGI? Sure, we could instill them with a set of ethical guidelines that would require subservience, but, like human ethical guidelines, they could be broken or changed based on the situati

Apple products are very competitively priced for their target market. That doesn't mean that they're for everyone, but nobody is getting ripped off.

To be honest, HFS+ does suck , and I'd like to see OS X default to something better. I'm a big fan of ZFS (it backs all of our production machines), but it does seem like overkill for a desktop OS. Something like HAMMER or btrfs

I can vouch for the moving thing. I haven't lived in one place longer than two years since I was eight or so. It wasn't the easiest thing in the world, but I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't grown up that wa

This video always makes me wish Apple would have bought Be, Inc. instead of NeXT. The BeOS was much more interesting than NeXTSTEP!

Yes, you are running on shared hardware, securely, but with no hypervisor. The biggest money-saver is in performance. IO-heavy applications can see anywhere from 5-10x performance improvements[1] by switching from hardware- to OS-virtualiza

This is precisely what I was picturing. If I can ever get my own business off of the ground, I hope to have it work similarly to what you described.

They were selfish to start using the drug. The dangers of drugs are known to all, they can not claim ignorance. Drug use includes a risk of addiction, not a guarantee. Just like a lot of activities, there is a choice to be made consider

But someone stealing for drugs demonstrate a level of selfishness that does make them a criminal Perhaps you'd like to become acquainted with addiction[1] and substance dependence[2]. They are real issues that people (those who you c

I think the advantage isn't so much the ability to switch, but the luxury of not having to know anything specific about the database you are interfacing with. This is especially useful in heterogeneous environments (like my workplace

This. Why would you start a business around a product nobody is interested in paying for? Doesn't make a lick of sense to me.

The brain doesn't rely on computation for intelligence, rather, storing and identifying patterns. When you change something that is part of a habit, you have to wait for your brain to rewire itself with the new behavior before it becom

Cobbling together SQL queries, bashing spreadsheets together, creating graphs, cleaning up data for further processing. Its my job to make it so people don't have to do any of these things.

Oh I dunno, learn to read, find out what modern work they find interesting, get an education, &c. Just because somebody is only qualified to do manual labor now doesn't mean they don't have other talents/abilities. I di

In other words, Apple is a successful business. People have been making that same statement for a long time and nobody has been able to do what you are suggesting.

What's the point of non-commercial GPL? I'm not a hard line copyleft guy, but I don't understand why you would make something "open source" when its really freeware.

If so, Modafinil probably shouldn't be your first choice, but that's just me. I would recommend Piracetam or something similar. /r/nootropics has a lot of useful information in their wiki [1] and the community is prett
