I use Debian/Ubuntu because OS X lack apt. The package managers I tried on OS X just gave me more trouble. But sure, I can't run Photoshop. Anyway, the point is -- for my work station developer use case, there is better…
HTML existed before Mosaic.
JavaScript still only has floating point, I think... So no.
I'm hellbanned (too easily trollable) so you probably won't see this, but I recommend an article by Krugman which changed my world view: http://www.slate.com/articles/business/the_dismal_science/19...
yummyfajitas' point about noSQL DBs was -- the old guy saw DBs before SQL was created and understand the trade offs.
I always found the eugenics arguments to be irrelevant, because parents will probably do design babies before accumulation of mutations can have a big impact. There is 20-35 years/generation and already now, there is…
Reality checks are valuable. It is better to get the depressing stuff from a good writer. But sure, there is some spin. You might note about e.g. the Netscape browser example that Microsoft got into legal boiling hot…

I quite like MongoDB, it is worth learning. The main Mongo problem imho, is when you have feature creep -- if you find out later that you must have joins. Relational databases are more flexible with changing…
rms is probably a bit on the autist spectrum and can be less than sensitive to others' viewpoint, but so am (probably) I and many other computer guys. Stallman have made the world a much better place. Even without…
You have a point. But the other side of the coin is that if you document what you do and make a point of helping others that are stuck, you'll have an easier time getting the next good job. (As long as your co workers…
Interesting link, thanks.
I am a day late (and I might be Hell banned?), but Blindsight by Watts ought to be mentioned. It was a total kick. It might be space opera, but with little of faked science. People's taste either seems to go literary…

What surprise me about these recruitments is -- how do you convince people that it really is NSA/CIA/whatever that are asking them to be patriotic? E.g. a Chinese spy in Silicon Valley probably say "I represent NSA, we…
Well, one day after. I don't think I'll see any good motivation that you were making reasoned arguments, without double standards for the different sides? :-) (And these were your new account's first two comments. So…

You really handpicked the references about the teenagers. Hamas has admitted it was their cell, it has been discussed in other comments. Sigh... At least be honest about well known facts. :-(…
