We only fine those companies who break the law. Most of them don't break it.

You are very wrong. The EU is the only big power defending data privacy and fighting to protect the little rights user still have. It helps, of course, that they don't have domesti…

Accident, yeah

To be clear: my personal opinion is that Linus' attitude about not breaking user space is the absolutely right one.

We are talking about APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), not implementations. Of course you are free to change the implementation of your API at any moment, as long as you k…

You won't have to deal with it. Whomever is using that old API has to deal with it. Their choice. We are talking about an API, not a shared service.

I'd say nonsense. Backwards compatibility is better than any other option. From time to time you need to provide new, clean versions of old APIs and that's it. Things get deprecate…

I agree with you, in fact. The issue is that the fact they decided to impose a single language to all the country is another example of the nationalism I was talking about. Decidin…

I don't really think that they care about British on this one. They are gone, after all. What really happens is that in the 15 last years English has gained space foot in the EU in…

Not really. Every EU Member State could only nominate one language. Some of them nominated an "alternative" one because their main one was already an official language (e.g. Irish)…

Parts of Belgium. Just ~35% of Belgiums are French speakers. Most speak Dutch. Same for Switzerland, most Swiss speak German.

Well, it's history and education. In every country children are told quite silly things about the world and, in particular, about the importance of their country in the world. This…

Sometimes countries insist of fighting wars that have been over for a long time. This is one example. American attitude towards China rise is another example. Now more seriously, I…

As a non-American, I have a different perception. For me, Sundar is one of the few CEOs that doesn't sound like a maniac robotic snake oil seller. I find it refreshing and inspirin…

Hmmmm... I wonder how you would avoid the expressions from being evaluated without wrapping then in a function (sorry if it's a lame question, I haven't done any JS in years). Not …

I got into clojure as a hobby for more than one year I am not an expert yet by any means. It took me a long time to become productive in Clojure. There were simply too many things …

I would say that's what the State the ultimate community) is for (police, army but also judges, doctors, laws requiring companies to implement the required safewards, ...), but I'm…

It would also disrupt food, drinking water and sweage. And all transportation, so even fuel would not be available. Without clean water and sanitation at home cities would be death…

Or have a good package system... If you use a language with import with aliases, you don't need all that noise.

How would you know that you are being cultivated?

Spain has very different climates. I live only 30 kms away from the cost in the North of Spain and temperatures of -4 or -5 C are quite common in the winter. Some times we even hav…

Nevermind, my mistake

EGB is one of my favourite books ever, but I think it doesn't explain Gödel's theorem as simple as it could. Of course, there are just so many wonderful things in EGB that this is …

Shouldn't you use 2 for a '(' instead of 1?
