I think most consumer robots will be driven by centralized computing power. There's probably no need for the brain to be on the robot, just a good wifi connection. EDIT: That is of course for robots that won't need to leave the

I don't think anyone would expect different behavior out of end users. But the "instant gratification" a malicious actor is seeking by asking to "maintain a package" will be delayed substantially. In fact, if you

I always worked for small companies early in my career for exactly this. The suspicion that large corporations are driven by egotistical sociopaths. Now that I've worked for a large corporation I have proof that I was right (YMMV). N

I'd say force a fork there too. It's not difficult to switch to a new package once you find it and know the URL. I say force each user (whether it's end user or library maintainer) to switch manually to the new maintainer&#

I say force the new maintainer to fork and then leave a note in your README that the currently maintained version is (here). This way anyone who decides to trust the new maintainer will be able to act as a "canary in the coal mine&quot

If the economic model was different they might have spoken up. I think it might be worthwhile, in this case, to examine / contrast what a socialist society might do vs a capitalistic society. EDIT: I'm in no way inferring this i

I had a similar idea a while back. The implementation I came up with (but never implemented) was to create a PHP extension that would link to a statically compiled GO module. Basically it would instantiate a network server on the GO side,

Generally speaking, if you expect the world to (as a first class principle) cater to your personal desires you will always be sad. I didn't read the whole thing, but I'd be interested if anyone found any issue that doesn't ha

We need to incorporate the fact that people will move on with their lives and transfer ownership of projects. This could be solved in a few ways. Maybe instead of signing over ownership, maybe the protocol should be to force a fork and make

Ever since I had a run in with an extremely "motivated" team of head hunters my belief has been that resumes are almost useless. I was responsible for hiring a team a while back and, in retrospect, believe I put way too much faith

Some folks I've talked to disagree but I think not an insignificant reason is ubiquitous usage of GPS and the internet (knowing precisely where to go and how to get there in the most efficient way possible). EDIT: and then I figure ano

At least the early investors have probably made pretty substantial exits by now, made a nice chunk of money in record time. But at what cost? I don't think anyone sane could argue that their growth has been organic?

The sad irony of my situation. If given the right scope of work I can be productive almost 100% capacity (ie. it's almost like flipping a switch for me to get into 100% flow). Except I work on a very large project. So my tasks are so

From a personal / everyday perspective it's probably not that interesting. But uncovering the inherent nature of something, regardless of what it is, is always going to be interesting to large numbers of people.
