Regulation enables this kind of thing systemically. Let this happen a few times without regulation and the market will demand trustworthy solutions, not some politician waving a ma…

We moan a lot louder than we cheer. This is a win. We should celebrate.

You're absolutely correct. I agree with both you and the fanboys on this point, however. Our current system is better than the old, for sure, but at the end of the day it is true t…

When did the world get so sensitive? I don't know if I grew up in some bubble of hate but where I come from people were brought up to be able to handle themselves. > "Sticks and st…

I use the workman keyboard layout. This was a complete mindfuck until I realised what was happening.

This man is peddling a book. I'm not saying that precludes his correctness but it does mean that the more analytical of us should apply a little more salt to our appraisal of his m…

The absurdity of this kind of thought is just profound. Thinking like this may be useful as a means of encouraging hope when all hope is lost, but Bitcoin is nowhere near there yet…

This is really secondary to the actual real value these things would represent. Yes, they must be limited in supply, just as money must be - money would be useless if it grew on tr…

Interesting you should choose Kotlin over Go. What's your take on it? I'm a big Jetbrains fanboy but haven't played with Kotlin yet.

Dear Government, We have nothing in common anymore. We're just too different on every level that counts. We've tried to make it work - or rather, I have - but it's no good. You nev…

Is this actually type safe, or type safe up until you include an untyped gem and the whole thing becomes indeterminate? Does the typing actually improve performance over straight j…

> In contrast, traffic fatalities in countries like the United Kingdom, where drivers are uniformly viewed as the greatest danger on streets, are about a third of U.S. rates. Brita…

Binary blobs running on user boxes can collect direct, identifiable, evidence. Spying an IP address from afar that may or may not be proxied/NAT'd is flimsy circumstantial evidence…

I've thought the same myself but reading that post made it clear to me that such thing couldn't really have much in common with what we call Ruby today. The solution for the perfor…

I think what you say about Rails is true. Rails isn't a framework, it's a lifestyle. I also started to question whether Ruby's type system was just too loose for serious work and w…

Not sure I agree with the idea that `Rails == UI`. A lot of the time I'm trying to fight Rails on this as decoupling HTML means refactoring HTML which isn't fun. I use Rails as a t…

This seems waaaaaayyy too polished in all respects for an app designed to break the law. I would not be at all surprised if those prebuilt binaries were sending your details off to…

Replace "JSON" in their diagram[0] with a variable and you can describe every webapp ever. [0] http://techcrunch.com/2013/11/07/espresso-logic-raises-1-6m-...

These concerns are remarkably similar to my recent experience[0] with the Apple software update, which nobody on StackExchange seems interested in answering. I'm still very much in…

Although I didn't say it explicitly in the particular sentence you quoted, I did say (pseudo|a)nonymously just after. I'm not suggesting identifiable health records should be searc…

Government privacy breaches are one of the things I despise most about current Western society. I am - day in, day out - one of those guys calling for ministerial blood. However I …
