Bullying? You couldn’t find a more powerful word to describe the state taking away your goodies? Making public goods into voluntarist things like charities isn’t benevolence. Robber barons have no problem giving a pittance to the poor, I’

Someone who earns 500K a year and who wants to be taxed more isn’t the problem. They are a principled social democrat. A thing that a country like the US could use more of. People who look out for themselves and their family only and who

Okay, um, a readme file is just the lowest common denominator “what the heck is in this directory tree” file. Something to get your bearings from. Something that can then point to some more fancy documentation like a homepage. But now I g

Yeah, I can imagine that defending marketing+advertisement companies can be exhausting.

Who are People? I’m fine with zero-price but I would also do okay with something-price, because I managed to live just fine before all of these “you are the product” (as technologists constantly gloat) services. What would happen if we

Design patterns are considered to be things that you can’t express directly in the language (that’s the Design Patterns book definition). Monads can definitely be expressed directly in Haskell. The only thing you can’t do is prove the Mon

The concept of meritocracy was born as satire, is currently a farce, and will likely never be realized as a genuine phenomenom.

Take it up with the grandparent comment!!! I replied to the part about hiring PhDs to build web servers, with the strong implications that they were overqualified (or—misqualified) for the task!!!
