    Code quality is a tactical concern and products live or die on strategy. I wouldn't recommend neglecting tactics if your strategy doesn't put you on the good side of a generational…

    Safety and freedom is incompatible with direct political control. Respect for truth is a false value if what truth is is to be put to a vote or changed to match the whims of whoeve…

    Deeply hate this. Just add a small fee. It's just a couple bucks. What are you, cheap? Open Source Software underwrites everything. It makes the largest human endeavors work. It ma…

    Games are a zero marginal cost industry driven by hits. The cap is pretty high. The floor is what you should be worried about.

    It's a myth in the most literal way. Fleming published and promoted his results despite a lack of reproducibility. By the time he won the Nobel Prize, he had backformed or misremem…
