You can't have the same actor both flood the markets to temporarily drive down the price and control a major stake of Ether - it's an either or proposition. In the first case, assuming the move was purely malicious rather than sel

I didn't really see any weighing of the proposition here, just motivated reasoning. Such a one-sided view is especially scary because, at least to me, the cons for this are pretty apparent and serious. What's one big negative of f

At the very least it seems like UBI would further centralize power within government by simply funneling even more money into it. Depends on your POV whether or not you think this is a good thing.

What are the pros and cons of this economic gravitational force?

I would say that's a little generous. I've also worked at companies of similar size to this where it isn't uncommon for managers to just ask programmers to randomly generate a number so they can lie and claim they've imp

You kind of get a chicken and egg problem here. If you don't sufficiently understand something, how can you hope to identify situations in which you could apply it? I think the more pragmatic approach is to sample from a lot of differe

Usually discrete math as the absolute bedrock, then a good understanding of automata theory.

It actually sounds like old research was either reproduced or simply read at a forum for stopping internet abuse (#ReclaimTheInternet) by this researcher ( http://www.demos.co.uk/people/alex-krasodomski-jones-2/ ).

It really depends on what you think qualifies as understanding a topic. You can definitely write a basic compiler without much understanding. I've seen a lot of programmers do this, and I think it's great. The unfortunate reality

Kinda misleading title. Doesn't really have anything to do with database design. It has to do with sharing Entity-Relationship diagrams. Maybe "Design better relational models".

This isn't an issue of making something easier for everyone. Sadly it's not that cut and dried. This is a request to destroy or completely disfigure, to the point of uselessness, a UI element that some people and teams legitimatel

You can also write sets in a more compact notation in python as: {1,2,3} & {1,2} Which gives {1,2} as a result.

Even though this may just be an April Fool's joke. My 2 cents. This is a "give a man a fish" solution that doesn't address the root cause of the issue (and that parable is all about fixing root causes). This likely has m

As a note the original article for this thread is about LambdaConf. StrangeLoop is the conference that chose to ban this particular speaker. I assume by SL you mean LC?

I got kinda lost right out the gate - mostly because quality can be used in an objective fashion as something that is measured and managed. Though not in most small software organizations. For example, in my work we measure percentage of te

Hey, original author here. In regards to your last question, here are my subjective ways of thinking about this. Firstly, I don't think there are many pre-defined or general rules with software development. I've been lucky to work

IMO (4) is a fatal and clumsy misstep for the entire article, and betrays a profound lack of contact with Nietzsche's own writing on the part of the author. Nietzsche never would have uncritically claimed mainstream culture does our be

There's a broad strand of discourse within philosophy on exactly the topic of its incorporation into the academy. Nietzsche, Foucault, Derrida, et al come immediately to mind. Quite a lack of research on the author's part to come

They rediscovered what Nietzsche wrote about 100+ years ago. High-ranking individuals in any society cooperate with each other more readily than with lower ranked individuals (The Gay Science, Book 1 Aphorism 13 - and many others)

Might as well just change "use the cloud" to "use a computer".

Curious if the author has read anything by Watts Humphrey? He spent his entire career at SEI arguing this point and attempting to develop the tools and processes to bear it out. This article reads like a repetition of his arguments from A
