What kind of 'vision' and tech leadership did Bezos bring to AWS? Arguably none whatsoever.
I wonder of the same mechanism that allow mosquitoes to transfer disease also works as a vaccination for animals?

A big chunk of the issues you're writing that test suite for, and constantly rerunning, are solved, out of the box, by having a decent type system. The type system also gives you superior code completion (with proper…
If your development productivity is entirely reliant on how quickly you can reload your changes, then you're doing something wrong. Though I guess you'd have to write mounds of unit tests and constantly rerun them to…
Does anybody know if there is a filter or something that increases oxygen concentration in the air? Maybe something that pumps air from the outside and only lets oxygen in?
Eh, that's a lot of extra steps and complexity for no apparent reason. Virtual desktops, supported by many linux UXs for a long time, provide essentially all of the same functionality without the extra mental overhead…

I'm no expert on prose/literature, but I really enjoyed Malazan Book of the Fallen for the story/adventure side of it. It has an enormous universe, many story lines, lots of good characters, etc.
How is a well-known science fiction author unrelated to a thread about science fiction where multiple other authors are mentioned? What's strange is your need to critique other people's commenting style. For the record,…

Haven't read Gene Wolfe (yet), but I can strongly recommend 'Hyperion Cantos' by Dan Simmons.
