Funny article. "The exact master copy that the artist recorded and wanted for us to hear" In the digital era, does that even, uniquely, exist? "a set of standards created by a bunch of engineers in 1993" Nice! Was hoping

It sounds as if the hiring managers got cold feet and made an emotional or impulsive decision. It's not surprising they could feel bad for treating a candidate that way, for indescribable reasons. It's not as if the justification

Yes, they are there all day, until closing time, or longer. Usually, the longer you stay, the more likely you are to buy their car, or give them more money. They control the situation and the incentives are in their favor. This is one reaso

Wasn't DEK giving a talk entitled, "The Letter S" in connection with the invention of Metafont? Nothing but admiration!

Something else to know is that Ticketmaster is happy to list and collect commissions from 3rd party ticket sales, but they excuse themselves from "Ticketmaster Fan Support" policies. Caveat emptor.

Yes, there is so much potential to integrate diagramming and recent work on constraint solvers including SAT solvers, but also very difficult to make such systems usable and convenient. There is a lot of hackery in graphviz that seems diffi

This is incredible. I think I needed this about 40 years when typing on a small Teletype (non-ASR33) without an escape key.

The information and know-how in this talk is amazing. It would be interesting to know the author's thoughts about other early influential software in the early PC era, such as the UCSD P-system (was UCSD Pascal an early version of Turb

Ha ha very funny. Yes, just try a lot of other distros until you find one that works, maybe.

It was a beautiful dream, but one can't be both an outsider and an insider.

When you say sustainable, do you mean, is it possible to train another generation of engineers to take over the maintenance and development of the software? I wonder about software that has a secondary or supporting role in the ecosystem. W

Can you explain further? I tend to agree because the claim that "graph databases are good for highly connected data" seems funny - can't relational databases be "highly connected" in the same way? Isn't it rea

Is this actually a surprise to anyone? Year 1: here's an extra x% of your salary! Aren't you happy! Year 2: here's the same x%! Aren't you just as happy. Compare this with getting a raise.

This is a good trend. Will we see more work aimed at separating the data model and human interface (to make programming with attributed graphs safe and convenient) from back end issues (how to store data and process queries efficiently, whe

At the dawn of the "home computer" phenomenon, there was a great deal of optimism computer literacy for the public would include a much richer understanding programming. It's too bad that didn't work out. It doesn't

Why not ask Apple to replace the battery and see if that helps?

Your criticisms of my comment are fair, but you are also defending an animation of hot air balloon that somehow describe attributes of cryptocurrency transactions. There's nothing wrong about making visualizations that look interesting

From comments here, you can see the field of premium photography equipment is about to undergo some kind of massive disruptive consolidation and reorganization. Almost anyone who comments here is a prospective customer, yet we see so much f
