He's on now - but I have no idea what on earth he's going on about

One of the things I admire about the tech community is their willingness to just give away their code for free. This is a cultural fact that has underpinned such an enormous collec…

On chrome there's a bug showing the console that's preventing it from going beyond the start screen. On Firefox when using the arrow keys to read through the next, a single click r…

Yeah - the trade off between this lesson and being woken up late at night because nightmares...

I wonder if younger folk today watch that and think how quaint, old and dated it seems... or if they see it and wonder if their current modern cinema fair is really missing somethi…

Such intensity of hate. It's like he's the sith lord of game developers. So weird.

Indeed - what happens when the contract itself states explicitly that there is NO intent above and beyond the code? Contract law exists above and beyond what the DAO t&c states - a…

>Is it really that bad? I was going to agree with you and admit I was being melodramatic...(well - I mean, saying that it makes me cry was certainly melodramatic - I don't really),…

I'm using atom - I wonder if it has a plugin that will ease ssh pain... thanks for the suggest!

OMG best answer. Thank... you!

I think this move by MS is wonderful and I support it completely - but there is one concern that you've left out that makes me more worried than anything. I'm someone who doggedly …

As others have pointed out - it's arguable that publishing any claim about the identity of SN - puts the target in considerable, potential danger. Now I can understand that there i…

Well - I'm struggling to understand what your beliefs about the scientific community actually are. You very clearly stated - in no uncertain terms - that the scientific community h…

Steuard was directly talking about "the scientific community" and employees of NASA.

I wasn't going to give your reply further consideration than what I gave... It doesn't deserve more. But I really feel something needs to be said here - given that you are in a pos…

Crackpots get jobs at NASA apparently. See point 3).

That's quite a reasonable, if cynical, reply. To be honest I don't know how to evaluate the which of these two explanations of the scientist's behaviour are more likely. I'd like t…

If you believe we do indeed have that degree of certainty - then you believe the experiments are indeed a waste of time, and that the experimenters are behaving irrationally - cont…

'know it doesn't work' - seems a bit strong here. 1) While a violation of a widely accepted law of nature is indeed unlikely - it's not like it hasn't happened before. 2) There may…

You're punching air mate. I think the point was just that if we don't help these boys - then they are more likely to fall into patterns of crime and violence - which is a cost ever…

I think this is far less mysterious than people suppose. Hypothesis - if someone on facebook views your profile then facebook is more likely to suggest them as a friend. Increase t…

I'm genuinely trying to understand how this has any significance at all. They are implementing emoticons - all of which could be expressed in other ways on the platform (in a comme…
