That is the future. Robotic caregivers for the elderly, and AI chatbots for the mentally challenged. Humanity is about to dehumanize itself, in the name of technological advancemen…

There seems to be a bug in the example code - which somehow demonstrates that this verbose style of writing also has its pitfalls, even for advocates of that style apparently.

I would much prefer this story being written by a real friend of the protagonist. Everyone else knew but me" and proceeds to do an analysis. Rather nosy and self-confident the auth…

Aw come on. If someone were to say "this guy", you wouldnt think about sexism in the slightest. Claiming sexism whenever a woman is criticized is starting to get very very boring. …

Oh, comments about social justice from a highly payed managerette. Good reason to not donate to Mozilla.

Nice posting, thanks for that. I still cant really understand the hype around Gould and its goldberg interpretations. Yes, they are good. But no, they are far from the best I know.…

This article is stupid.

Thanks for taking the time to explain what you see. This sort of confirms my initial suspicion. Weird.

As a diehard terminal user, I think this headline should interest me. However, I am assuming this is some sort of JavaScript perversion? Visiting the link with lynx gives an empty …

We're talking about a woman, not "a person". Thats important in this context. A woman with a very public job that cant stand the backlash which comes with her job description. Of c…

I envy you for your age... There was a time when everyone and their dog knew what L0phtCrack was.

Apparently, canadians are a smart bunch!

Lisp is definitely not as functional as for instance Haskell is. Side-effect-freeness was never really a topic for Lispers.

So the acronym should be changed to BI then. And if it is not U, I dont care supporting it politically...

The name is strange. Reminds me of a product-naming story I heard years ago. Papenmeier from Germany was once planning to create a small notetaker with built-in braille display. Th…

No idea, never tried. I went from SuSE straight to Debian, and haven't bothered to check any other distros out since.

This brings back fond memories. When I came back from CCC Camp 2003, OpenBSD got me interested. So I gave it a try, and had a real fun time in the ensuing 12 months. The simplicity…
