Do you remember when he did that BBQ ad saying he wanted to tour America and hear opinions? It looks like he might be trying to edge his way into a political career again. I like h…

I wouldn't think twice about buying something nice from a store for $25 dollars. Once upon a time I bought something online for about $10 from what was a legitimate business with a…

It's quite good, and I really like their automatically-generated recommendations BUT there is a small fee, and I have a knee-jerk reaction to anything on the internet that asks me …

I just got a copy of The Western Canon by Bloom from the library, and I think it is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read in my life. He is a very convoluted writer that goes fo…

Well, if that's the case, I can do you one better.

It's true that some people can write extremely clean, beautiful Perl. Nevertheless, it's still a lot less effort to write clean, beautiful Python or Ruby.

Making a language is fun, and builds your skills. I'd rather work with a person who has made a bad language than someone who has never made one. Don't make fun of people for making…

Where I live (Victoria BC), we don't have many pedestrian lights, but pedestrians definitely do not have priority in crosswalks. Pedestrians here make sure that there are definitel…

Easily U2's best album.

Right below the headline, there is a prominent Facebook icon, providing free publicity for Facebook, as well as allowing Wired to use Facebook as a marketing platform.

This isn't necessarily a good thing. The earliest versions of Javascript were insane. Bad isn't the word. Buggy isn't the word. You've never seen a language as ridiculous as early …

Wealth Of Nations is a weird book to read. Where I grew up, people worshipped it and generally considered it to be the second greatest book of all time, after the Bible. I ended up…

A pretty good consolation for the alienation and rage Buzzfeed is telling me about is being able to go to Buzzfeed and find out which Friends character I'm most like.

One one hand, I like a nice long commit message. On the other hand, human nature is terrible. I know that if long commit messages catch on, some synergetic managers will start insi…

Imagine a book where you wrote a bunch of Javascript implementations without learning Javascript.

Javascript is such a good language that, even after two decades of fixes, it's only good when you use a different language - specifically created to address JS's many problems - th…

The target audience are people who don't want to learn Lisp but want to write a bunch of Lisp interpreters and compilers. Obviously.

What's your source for that? Not that I doubt you, I just can't find any record of him saying that.

A long essay could be written about that. A few quick things. There's Scheme's simple syntax, which doesn't get in the way of what the book is actually teaching. The fact that, of …

I wonder how much of the software between me and that blog post is open source?

I've certainly seen that on internet, but I don't known of any real research or hard data, and just go to any old graveyard and work out people's ages. Seems like clickbait debunki…

Remember how there used to be pro-gay fried chicken and anti-gay fried chicken? Now we've got an anti-gay web browser. Amazing how the market provides. What's next? An anti-Jew web…

The fact that headline points out that it's not bullshit makes it sound like bullshit. When a pitch answers a question that no one asked, it's a pretty good indication that somethi…

Segregation brought joy into some people's lives. I'm sure Stalin was quite happy about engineering the famine in the Ukraine. Every great human-created disaster was pleasing to so…
