There was someone on Kuro5hin some years ago who called k an Excel replacement. The more I use kona (which isn't very much), the more I believe he was right. It seems like a really nice little language. Much more agile…
If they, i.e. the rest of the company outside of the IT department, don't know how much better things could be with something smaller and faster, then it really does not matter. Oracle has had companies locked in for…
@Futurebot You should get a degree if you can, period. Whether you work as a fry cook or not. Education is worth it. It has value, to you and to society, apart from its utility as a factor in filtering people for job…
Correction: Captain Pike.
Here's a stupid analogy that always comes to mind. Imagine a LEGO set or a similar toy that was comprised of small simple pieces, building blocks, that the child was to assemble. Most of us probably have experience with…
Oops. I think I meant remembering reading the NYTimes piece in 2003. 9 years later and I'm still waiting for my thinking cap. Maybe Snyder needs VC funding?

"There is nothing wrong with that actually."
I think you might be right that he was an early player of a patent filing game that has grown to become rather controversial in some spheres, namely software. The only way to know, besides being alive at that time, is…
I rememember reading about Treffert and his "thinking cap" over ten years ago. I think it may have actually been in Wired. This article was too short. I was hoping for a more "NewYorker-length" piece.
Greenshoe.
For simplicity, of course. ;)
I'm reading through No Execute now and it's fantastic so far. Thanks again for redirecting our attention toward some quality stuff. I'm psyched to get some version of Plan9 running on a netbook. Plan9 is work of art.
It's because some people really do like complexity. They like writing 200 pages of documentation. And some like reading it. They want complexity. Keep adding stuff. I remember reading one of the Windows programmers'…
That's right. I can't remember what made me give up on Inferno previously when I tried to install it. Maybe it was a compilation issue. This time I'm not giving up.
I just ran across No Execute on your blog. I can't believe I never found that before (I've chased up all the Plan 9 stuff before). I've also been an Atlast user for a few years. Can't believe I never heard about your…
Question for the author: Your blog says you have an EeePC and run Plan 9. So does Plan 9 run on the Eee? If yes, which Eee model do you have? As for the article, it's been a while since I looked at Inferno. Thanks for…
The part about the colleagues only putting in a few productive hours each day is spot on. They are riding on the company's coattails. It is a sort of corporate-sponsored welfare that no one notices until the company…
I'd love to see some of the search engines who are catering to more sophisticated searchers just tell us the BOSS, or whatever cache they are licensing, API functions and then indicate which ones they are supporting.…
What's that early Star Trek Episode? The Menagerie? The one with Colonel Pike.
Can we assume this company is not Huawei/ZTE?
What about the rights of the person the police may be addressing? Is it OK to film someone who is being questioned, arrested, etc. by police? Many states have laws against unauthorized audio recordings of other…
If this really bothers users, we can introduce more browser plugins or HTTP proxies that strip out the Facebook links and Javascript from the html. Proxies that inject Javascript into html are already in widespread use.…
Can't think of a catchy name for it, but maybe the StackExch team needs to start a "Programmer Confessions" forum.
Maybe it's not "hate" of Zuckerberg. Maybe it's just looking at a person's actions and disapproving. "Hating the game." And every person with the skills has a choice whether they want to play it. Zuckerberg can do the…
