This blog post is worthless shit. Edit: let me clarify. This blog post is written by an infantile, narcissistic know-it-all and exudes the odor of vomit and feces. The fact that it appears here lowers my esteem of HN…
I think this article is much better: http://hbswk.hbs.edu/archive/5289.html
Sounds like things have not changed much in the dating world in the last ten years. Presumably the weekly standard prints this to boost page views. The PUA lifestyle has been a non-story for the last five years at…
Here is a fun trick: imagine Bernard Madoff, Kenneth Lay, or George Bush Jr. reading this. All of these people "went somewhere", but I certainly don't aspire to be any of them.
Good grief this is low-hanging fruit, just like a big fat guy reaching over and gorging himself of a big mac a coke. Ick.
Cool, this way it will never be possible for a small group of people to exploit everyone else for their own gain. Oh, wait.
That's nothing, I understand that a paragliding philosopher has proven that both the original theory and the refutation are immaterial contributions to knowledge under his own theory of scientific progress, to be…
This is related to Python 3.2 only. In other words, this is not noteworthy.
In this article, Rolling Stone abused its cultural influence by glorifying career criminals. Young people read this magazine, and the technical quality of the articles is very very high. In my opinion, if you are going…
Today, in the USA, dealing marijuana is a crime. Making a (highly profitable) living off dealing marijuana is, at the very least, a "career of crime". The individuals in this story did much more than deal in marijuana -…
A fascinating story, but singularly disheartening. One of the main characters regrets nothing of leading a life of crime, and the author is willing to give him the final say. This is moral laxity. He plays up the drama…
I like this sentence because it suggests a guilt-by-association argument. However, you would have to be living under a rock to not notice that individual rights in the USA are gone, and they aren't coming back.
"Fifteen Aphorisms" would have been a more accurate title.
This is simply not true. I work for a major internet company that has millions of users. We use SQL for all of our data (images and SWFs excepted, of course). We do all logging to SQL tables. We use key-value cache…
This is absolutely correct - the average FB gamer is a middle-aged female. Farmville is a substitute for soaps and being superior to members of your peer group (just like tennis, car, golf score, the plays you see,…
The above articles are not at all convincing. They are also hosted at sites that have a vested interest in selling you weird shit to put in your body that will supposedly make you live longer. I'm going to eat my…
I must say, I have a taste for this sort of drama. I seek it out, enjoy reading it. I enjoy the fact that people, like this elptacek, willingly make fools of themselves online for the amusement of others. I watch with…
I doubt that.
The arguments have been laid out elsewhere, so let me summarize: 1. The memory requirements are massive 2. The chosen approach is substantially more complex than CPython 3. The claimed performance improvements have not…
I'm pretty confident that this is the nail in Python 3's coffin. It just shows how out-of-touch GvR and Google are with Python users. For a while, Python 3 was on a track to becoming a more mature language, but this is…
Actually Matt Taibbi is, apparently, one of the very few members of the press to have the intelligence, motivation, and opportunity to attack Goldman repeatedly. Everyone else is on a 24-hour news cycle, and as far as I…

Huh. My mother (age 67) got breast cancer in 2007. She did all of the treatment for it and was basically free of it 12-18 months later. Fuck yea.
c) http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/s/SNAFUprinciple.html Generally speaking, it is difficult for useful information to flow in organizations. Most of the time, this lack of circulation is not remarkable, but this looks…
Totally agree. This guy is the management equivalent of patent medicine - sounds great to amateurs but will kill you if you take enough of it.
