There's two ways of looking at it. One is with a sense of personal accountability. "If you use Facebook, then the first thing you should do is stop." A humorous example can be found here: http://observer.com/2

People are certainly talking about excessive social media use whether FB likes it or not. The goal of propaganda is not to make people think a certain way; it's to get people to act a certain way. Entertainment is centered around con

This isn't news, is it? Google hates decentralization. Visa and money transfer restrictions force them to improve the areas they're based out of. Open communication makes it harder for them to control public opinion. Eric Schmidt,

But for many people, the initial learning curve just isn't worth it. I don't believe that. The people who snub Vim and Emacs, but are willing to sink time into learning new editors, new languages, and new frameworks have no excu

You can make your Emacs setup minimalistic by hiding the toolbar and scrollbar. This blog post gives a pretty good starting setup. https://emacs-doctor.com/emacs-strip-tease.html C-x C-f opens files, but will also open a fi

No, it's not even sort of a Lisp. JavaScript is not secretly a Lisp. JavaScript is no more a Lisp than Python, Ruby, or Lua. Crockford is right that JavaScript is closer to Lisp than C, but so is Awk. http://journal.stuffwit

Price isn't the only issue; speed has to be considered as well. If you have a program, and it only uses a small amount of memory, it'll fit into the cache and run fast. If you have a program that uses many times more memory than t

I fail to see how political correctness is both a nebulous concept and a dogmatic belief system at the same time. I didn't say political correctness was a nebulous concept, I said it was a nebulous term. The issue isn't vague co

If the author didn't want to talk about the banh mi thing, why even mention it? It is relevant to the discussion after all, since the portrayal of such instances in the media have had a strong influence on the way political correctnes

In either case, "political correctness" is only an exchange of tokens of respect. A transaction of political capital. "If you speak in a culturally respectful manner then I'll listen to you. Otherwise, I won't.&quo

Wow, a snarky straw man based off of the first sentence in the article. Then you make points that the author specifically refuted in the article without discussing what he wrote. It's like you tried to read it and gave up so you could

It inevitably comes down to a choice between institutionalized discrimination and latent discrimination. You could weigh it based on which drives more talent away, but I don't care if Silicon Valley can keep wages low for another five

One very simple, coherent way to arrive at Pike's position without sacrificing the notion of merit is to accept the idea... By accept, you mean assume, and assuming is what Oxitendwe was warning against.

I've already got enough films, thanks, you don't need to make any more. Or telling writers that there are already enough books. That is a reasonable opinion. http://www.gwern.net/Culture%20is%20not%20about%20Esth

I did not know about the open source definition. Is that just a guide line or does it carry some weight? It carries the weight of the names of the people who support it. Take a look at who is involved in it. Ian Murdock, founder of Debian
