I don't trust articles written in Word.
What section of it should I read to get an idea of what, according to the author, "philosophy of computer science" is?
Well, what is the verdict? Was there anything interesting in the source code? Does having it publicly available matter at all?

Sorry, what does "ISTM" and "the ferry" mean here?
Is there no swimming pool (with a shallow part and not too many people) around where you can learn on your own?

Huh, price control?

OK, I was just hoping that it would have found the relevant data sources for me already.
I wish we could converge on a way to tag such notifications, so that those who want to can filter them out.
Even with perfect prediction, who is to decide, for everyone, what is good and what is bad?
Does it include connections to data sources for traffic, bus departures, and such, or do you have to provide them yourself?

I'm OK with it. I interpret "PIN number" as "the number to which we associate the expression 'PIN'".
Living the dream!
Psst! That's an arbitrary number.
Are you discussing the questions of whether computer science is mathematics? Dijkstra considered it to be, and was not a fan of "experimental computer science".
Subtitles is good so that you can speed up the video beyond the point where you can no longer hear what someone is saying. You can also watch without sound.
Dijkstra preferred "computing science", didn't he? Now, calling it "science" at all is problematic if you don't consider mathematics to be a science.
Yes. Voting patterns, for example, how do those change people's opinions? It would seem that the most they could do is give an impression of what comments are and are not well received. Do people base much of their…
