The point Dijkstra was trying to make is that humans are inherently incapable of dealing with that kind of detailed complexity, and still reliably make useful programs. That's why …

Actually Goto doesn't have a problem; And it wouldn't matter in modern languages that deny access to that low-level instruction. In basic you can use your labels and goto statement…

Great comment. Off-topic: funny name.

Yeah, I should have included that example. Just adding that repression on that scale actually merits regime change more than finding a workaround. Although the workaround might be …

So what crypto needs is an easy-to-use plugin for developers, so more end-users can take advantage of this software.

Nice counter-argument, with the concession that this is more like git than it is github. It might really put crypto on the radars of, and make it accessible to, the developers invo…

I'd increase the time a little at least a couple of times during the week. Because learning to programming or playing an instrument is like learning a language, and it requires som…

Nice analysis/strategy description. I just want to add that one of the primary reasons why saas companies increase in size, is because they provide convenience. It seems that the S…

Maybe. But just consider that GitHub popularized git among professional developers. I don't think it's the audience this initiative has to reach. Though it will certainly make cryp…

The advantages of the anonymous marketplace only really apply to people who's work is being suppressed (activists/journalists) or who's work is rightfully being persecuted (crimina…

You're making ad hominem attacks. Yes comparatively it is ridiculous to portray this as a major issue, but just because other people are less-off doesn't mean you should let yourse…

About your two first paragraphs: Over time that market-mechanic would also have as an effect that all engineers have capped wages, because the cause for wage increases - negotiatio…

I also think you have a misunderstanding. Adam Smith is clearly explaining the reason for the more liberal wages from the perspective of the one who is to commence the study, and h…

In theory at least, wage should reflect responsibility and liability within the company. If you go over those of the CEO, you see why they make so much more money. They should be h…

Practical question: Are we supposed to submit only one form per group or multiple? Because the introductory explanation talks about a group submission, but on the form itself there…

One could make the argument that amount of information to be exchanged in order to get a good assessment really is that small. If they mostly look at how you behave under pressure …

In my honest opinion, they should just re-apply afterwards. It's impossible for investors to see if those red flags will or will not disappear during development. They are quite ex…

I basically disagree with the article, here is why: Although it's true that disruption is not always caused by technology - you could argue that the Sears mail-order catalogue syst…

In my opinion, it's usually a sign of decline when a company has to purchase added value where it failed to gather or create it herself. Forty-two dollars for your phone book!? I t…

How about simply adding an additional certificate - e.g. random string of specified length - held by your webapp in closure? And then configure your server to only respond to reque…

Noob's mistake: I noticed you are the author of the article (#^-^#), I'll read it again after you've updated it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm still a little confused, because in my understanding heuristics are also based on statistical properties; e.g. Is there a strong correlation between pr…

Am I mistaken or does algorithmic in this case simply translate to actually formulating a model that accurately represents your problem? I agree that the heuristic approach might b…

The title should be: Why javascript programmers hate statically typed languages, because they are less flexible than dynamically typed languages. I honestly thought the talk was bo…
