This post demonstrates why I hate UI programming. The number of unpredictable, niggling little things that can go wrong exceeds my patience for dealing with them. I kind of enjoy thinking through the ways something…
Your argument is that if a paper makes a valuable contribution then it should be accepted even if it's not well written. But the definition of "well written" is that it makes it easy for the reader to understand its…

Could you say more about why ansible is better than shell scripts for one-time configuration? In my mind, ansible's big advantage over shell scripts is that it has good support for making incremental changes to the…

It's also important that assembly lines can be offshored, whereas a lot of repairs really need to be done locally by someone who can interact with the consumer to understand the problem. Countries where labor is cheap…
I spent ten years in a corporate research lab, and my experience was quite different from yours. Specifically, 1. Our process went like this: first the researcher wrote up a description of the invention for review by a…
Article content starts out in a straightforward, easy-to-process form, as created by the reporter/author, in a content management system. Then the CMS chops it up into pages and adds boilerplate for presentation as a…

I agree about the convenience of having multiple branches in a single repo, as opposed to the darcs way which is one working directory per branch. For one thing, I never found a convenient way to switch between branches…
Right on. I particularly hate sites like myspace and some blogging platforms that translate the window dressing (button labels, sidebar, etc.) to your local language based on IP address, with no regard to the language…
The work week is just starting on the east coast of the US and this has already dropped to 123rd place. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to post it over the weekend, particularly a holiday weekend. On the other hand, it…

You forgot to say where you are. You even forgot to mention it on your web site, as far as I can see.
You're attacking a straw man. Here are some arguments that people do sometimes make, and that somewhat resemble your straw man, but are less ridiculous: - Making a copy of a file isn't stealing because it doesn't…
My laptop is for reading email and surfing the web in hotel rooms. Occasionally I program on it when I don't have a choice, but I'm far less productive than on my regular workstation, both because of the ergonomic…
