I found that a big jump in my quality of design was when I started thinking about what state was necessary, what transformation needed to be done, and by what entity. Before that, I used to code for the task at hand, and create data structu

Yeah, my argument with the knives was pretty weak and I was trying to make the point you make in your last paragraph. I think I meant to type "lying around children". I should've said bombs.

I'm convinced that this idea that technology is completely neutral is wrong. It is not neutral in the face of human psychology. The human species is a different animal that the human individual, and it is powerful, but does not make tr

Where'd you find this? The study? I ctrl+f'ed a bunch of the links and I didn't see the word smoke.

I'm very surprised at how much data costs in Canada. In India, it costs me 7.43 USD for 84 days of 1.5GiB high-speed 4g data per day (plus unlimited calling). After that it drops of to a lower speed, but you can top off cheaply. That&#

Somebody had downvoted you, not the article. I wanted to know what they had against your point :)

Crypto noob question: Wouldn't it be prudent to switch to something like ECDSA(heardsay that it is stronger) if there was even a hint that it was possible? If a major government got wind that such work was going on, wouldn't it be

It's a generic API for automated provisioning. It asks you to make some decisions up front (what do you want to do when an instance goes down or has a new version available), and lets you forgo making some (like which nodes your instan
