I agree. I'm a white guy who's gone through some very difficult stuff. When SJWs talk to me about my privilege, it just enrages me. Academic left discourse turned me from a middle-of-the-road guy to someone adamantly against the e

Guilting people into reducing emissions has been ineffective. Better would be to embrace geoengineering.

Honestly, why? Most of the time, you want to write C++, with exceptions, and the STL. You can make this kind of programming as robust as you want against memory allocation failure. If you don't want to use this style of programming, fo

Thank you. There is somebody else on this fucking planet who understands that memory is not limitless manna from heaven.

Indeed. It's incredibly disingenuous, not to mention a risk to the public health, to scream "STD!" equal loud for HPV and HIV.

So what? That's up to them. People who buy organs are paying a fair price. Why do you want to infantalize poor people by denying them the opportunity to participate in the market?

How about just paying people for their organs? Let the market work. Is that really such a bad idea?

Good. I'm sick of people walking over copyleft licenses generally. It's only because of copyleft that there exists a pro-sharing social norm in the software development community. If you kick down the GPL, the norm will shift back

I wonder whether there's a connection between cowardice in the face of SJWs and cowardice in the face of everything else.

That's disappointing; the article mentions that Mozilla is happy with Debian's patch set, but I don't think they'd be happy with a patch that disabled mandatory extension signing. I was looking forward to Iceweasel spari

There is an infinite universe of actions we can take. We can sleep all day. We can wave our arms for hours. We can all decide to dress up as Ross Perot. We need some way to determine which actions are worth doing and which are not. You appe

Malthus. Malthus, or more specifically, declining returns on investment in science and technology, is holding back the economy. It's not debt levels or bad interest rate policy or currency manipulation; these effects are all second-ord

I wish more project maintainers would emulate the good example Duncan set here. Identity grievance is a terrible disease for an organization to contract, but the prognosis is good with early and aggressive treatment.
