What they got right was shutting down. If only AMP would do the same.
If a project becomes inactive, Apache puts it into the Attic and development ceases.
I'm sitting here waiting for you to realize "unsecure" is not a word.
If Oracle gets its way, code smells will be copyrightable as well.
"Post-modern" C++? Finally someone admits that the language was all a huge prank.

Java has been gradually eating all the good parts of Scala. So far, it's eaten lambdas, map / reduce / fold functions, option types, raw string literals, the concept of a built-in REPL, type inference for local…
* The health plan is really expensive, since your co-workers' body parts keep falling off. * The only thing the cafeteria serves is BRAAAAAAINS. * Your noncompete agreement is still valid even after you die. Aside from…

Wow. I don't even know where to start on this one. My experience with academia is that everyone is scrambling to get grants and get published. Nobody ever asked questions about where the grants came from. A lot…
Expect an insta-shutdown in a few months.
Yahoo hasn't had its own search engine for years. In 2010, they became essentially a frontend for Bing. In a later 2015 deal they switched the backend to using Google. Duckduckgo is a metasearch engine, technically, but…
Does this mean we can have more than 16GB in our laptops now? Also, is "stratechery" named based on the old Celebrity Jeopardy skits on SNL?
I don't think "an entirely different ethical framework" should apply when you're "treating someone versus learning to treat them." First of all, "learning to treat someone" is not clearly separable from treating them.…
Scott's complaint is basically that the IRB regulations don't match the regulations that apply to standard psychiatric treatment. For example, the department had a huge amount of patient information stored in their…
Yes, publishers do certainly value a platform that is able to combat privacy. Although lately the combat has been a little one-sided.
Python broke compatibility a lot more than once. Python 3.5 and Python 3.6 are not compatible, for example. There are even cases where code written for an older version of Python 3 will not work on a newer version of…
Now in Smell-o-Vision, so that you can really take in the "ambiance"
The part which really makes me angry is that this guy probably also employs graduate students who make minimum wage, have terrible health care, and no job security. But he doesn't feel like that's important enough to…
The cheap jabs are all incorrect, as well. Any compiler from the last 10 years will warn you if you don't match your printf format string to the arguments. printf also supports reordering arguments using the %m$ syntax…
I guess my feeling could be summed up as: bye, flash! We in the Mac/Linux sphere won't miss you.
It would be better if they installed two turntables and a microphone.
And yet, the countries which had sweatshops, like China, India, Vietnam, etc. have had huge success in bringing their population out of poverty. The countries which didn't, like most of Africa, did not. Population…
It's OK. A court in the US ruled that we should have jurisdiction there, so now we do.
