Yes. That is a sad, sad paragraph. It reads like genuine ignorance on the part of the writer.

Speak for yourself WRT wild savages in your head, mate. I'm perfectly comfortable in civilization. It's quite possible to live in solitude surrounded by people. It's all in your head.

OK, let's talk about the technology. Why would you intentionally bring the rubbish parts of Mac OS X to BSD? mach ports and associated baggage: Almost no one understands how this stuff works. Send/receive rights are confusing. App

Because you're going to have bugs. You don't need the extra performance, and you do need the extra safety. There is no good reason for you to do this in 2015, unless your system's malloc is broken. The exceptions to this rule

This. You want some easy proof? Watch a video of Steve Jobs answering questions, like the WWDC 1997 Q&A video. Time how long it takes him before he starts speaking after the questions are asked, and note the quality of the answer.

No, the image most non-West-Coasters have of California was always a mirage. There was smog in the San Fernando Valley in the 50's. But you can't really judge all of it from LA. California is huge, and LA is a small but uniquely a

I know many highly-competent individual engineering contributors and managers who quit Amazon (Lab126, mobile app store, CreateSpace) and found the NYT story accurate to varying degrees. Several of them were absolutely miserable. One was re

I recall it being far more balanced prior to the Bush administration. They had a viewpoint: pro-free trade, and generally pro-civil-rights. You could reasonably disagree with the pro-free trade stance. Then, in the mid-naughts, I recall beg

Programmer time is better spent learning almost any language other than bash. My god, the centuries wasted on minutiae like the stupid "[ is a program, that's why you have to put spaces around it." And system administrators s

BIND is important internet infrastructure. We'd all be better off if it did follow the JPL standard.

Nope. If there's an antitrust issue (I'm not saying there is), it's still all the same company to the DOJ. Google is too visible to play that particular shell game and get away with it. If this was in preparation for spinning

This is definitely a thing that happens. Some teams also do a lot of work in hallway conversations, and this sort of accidental interaction is critical. I witness this all the time. I would much prefer that my company let me work remotely.

I thought the Stanford/Sandhill area surrounding 280 was undeveloped because the land is owned by Stanford. Not so?

From a native Californian perspective, it just looks insanely wasteful of water. These are fed from some non-potable source, at least? ...Read TFA, nope. OK then. It is insanely wasteful of water.

I've read that the Kildall-went-flying story is apocryphal.

None of that stuff existed yet. We're talking about the CP/M era companies that failed to transition to the IBM PC era, essentially pre-Mac, though some of them did last into the late eighties, IIRC.

I think it boils down to: Apple established a platform and ecosystem for consumers, education, and business. The S100 companies largely sold CP/M boxes for business use. When PC clones turned "business" computers into a commo

Completely agreed. I would add that 105k seems high as a starting salary for a software engineer at a sustainable startup, so either you have unique capabilities, or the startup is super well-funded, or the startup is burning cash at an uns

There is a long (and, to me, fascinating) history behind the current water distribution situation in the western US. Authoritative book on the subject is Marc Reisner's "Cadillac Desert."

No. I assume by 'simple and readable,' you mean that you want whitespace to be significant. Most languages don't do the Pythonesque 'look! executable pseudocode! (hope you like underscores though!)' thing.

That's at least some of the reason Smalltalk is useful. It's also probably the main reason Smalltalk has never taken off.

I don't think discovery on Reddit itself matters to users. Google "mechanical keyboards" and the second link is r/mechanicalkeyboards. Good enough. And the sidebars generally provide curated, related subreddit links. Unl

The Democrats are supposed to support sound science. In practice, the supposedly enlightened left is often confused on these subjects (see also: support for the TSA). Are there no progressive think-tanks willing to step up in the tech polic

They do. There's only so much that's productive unless you're funding basic research, which Apple, for better or worse, doesn't do.

Gruber was right. I don't think it's relevant to the handheld market. The non-hacker Android users I know are simply too cheap to buy iOS devices, so probably not a great target market if you want people to buy your app. And the h
