Good riddance. We've created a place where for DECADES companies like HP, Intel, Google, and Facebook have come to thrive. If all you want to do is spooge off of their success and not pay your fair share, be gone with…
War is peace, freedom is slavery. I'm really tired of attention-grabbing headlines on blog posts with no content.
God no. If nothing is forbidden them on the internet, they won't feel they have to hide anything from you. If you don't want your kids to spend a lot of time on the internet, its your responsibility as a parent to give…
Welcome to Libertopia. If the government can't tax a property, then the government can't protect it either. There is a reason why we invented and continue to use this whole coercive government thing...
In the future, every startup will be funded for $15.
I about fell out of my chair. Everybody in NLP has been so busy trying to learn statistical grammars from corpora that they've forgotten prolog. Amazing.
This is not just a linux phenomenon. I don't know of any desktop environment on any operating system which has improved in any meaningful way since 1996.
I don't think they are the same thing at all. I've been practicing literate programming for a decade now, but my brain still has to switch gears when I go from writing up the English-language description of an algorithm…

You will not crucify the American farmer on a cross of bits!!!
"Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm really awfuly glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and…
Suck it up. Grow up and stop complaining. 8 years and $60,000 is enough investment in "experimentation" and "finding yourself". You don't like your work? That's why its called "work" and not "fun". If it was "fun" the…
Once I was sitting in Barnes and Noble with my laptop, programming away. A kid comes up to me and asks me how can he learn how to program? I groan inwardly, wondering how I can save this poor kid from certain doom. I…
I remember we talked about this on the second date I had with my wife. I'll tell you about that, but first let me tell you about our first date: I asked her what she at work. She said she was in P.R. and had just got…
Who cares about gnome? I mean really. To first, second, and third order approximations, nobody will ever use it. The ipad2 sold over 2 million units the first month out. The next billion users of the internet will…
What is morally wrong isn't teenagers having sex, it's teenagers having babies.
I hope this works; if it does, it will be the best thing which has happened to news in a long time. Companies produce product which is beneficial to their customers; if those customers are large corporations buying…
Or how I learned to stop worrying and love category 6 nuclear disasters. This is typical MIT hubris. Nobody knew om march 12 what was happening, even the operators, and even now nobody knows how bad thing are or how bad…
