And why do parents have zero culpability in today's society? If you don't want the responsibility don't have the kid. Stop shitting on everyone else's parade because you're a terrible parent.

Because bypassing it would be hard, like uninstalling a program / substituting it's executable with a harmless one / formatting and putting on a cured operating system.
Politicians talk because... I never understood why, actually.

Can Zuck actually code? Is it for real that we're supposed to believe that he developed some AI on his own? For realz?
I thought maybe he knew PHP or something and maybe nothing beyond that?
Was his background really in development? Just curious.

If you want to dramatically increase your programming skills you need to be reading other people’s code. Copy and paste faster?
|
|
|
|

A great majority of the code I've cut and pasted in the past has been buggy and therefore has increased my debugging skills and in a round about way has increased my programming skills but only because I had to know it to debug it.
I guess they're talking about reading code of people that actually know how to code?

Shouldn't articles like this be titled, "Languages for which you need Google"?
In my experience, C# is way more used than Java, but the local help is quite good and for anything more, you go directly to Microsoft.com.

Being comfortable in multiple languages and frameworks is important, because the computer industry is changing so much.
Does no one question this hysteria of the language/framework du jour and this constant (actually, accelerating) rapid change?
Does no one consider that what this creates is a bunch of mediocre developers, not because developers are mediocre, but because no one has the time to become highly skilled at a particular language or framework?
Does no one consider the actual cost of having to maintain and fix problems in a complex system, not because the system itself has complex business logic, but because the system requires knowledge in SQL, NoSQL, ORM-of-the-day, IoC-of-the-day, Java/C#/Python/Php/Ruby/Go/R/F#/Scala/Haskell/..., Javascript/HTML/CSS/jQuery, Backbone/Angular/Boostrap/Knockout...
Does no one consider that all this kitchen sink of languages requires an equal porridge/cesspool of tools - compilers, editors, test frameworks, debuggers, loggers, containers, installers, deployers, bug trackers...
Does no one consider that the result becomes a process control nightmare to manage all this?
No, I don't think so. Where wise men perhaps would tread cautiously, fools cavort instead.
Of course it's still a playground, and it's a fun playground, and the link in my sig certainly betrays that I too quite enjoy the foolish cavorting, but perhaps the difference is that I also know the difference between wisdom and foolery.

I imagine that traditional Scrum works best when you're working on a single application and codebase with pretty a well-restricted scope and limited technologies in play. How about some limoncello?

Agile has no flavor to begin with, nor color, nor texture. Which means you're pretty much left with little choice but to add some carcinogenic flavor simulation, some toxic (but FDC approved) coloring, and for texture, well, used kitty litter works as well as anything.
But no matter how you combine the ingredients, the end result always comes out the same (or if you're Yoda, "Always the result, same end it comes out.")

Researchers have made the world’s smallest radio receiver – built out of an assembly of atomic-scale defects in pink diamonds. Does it pick up the world's smallest violin?

This probably explains why we haven't picked up radio emissions from ET. They use advanced tech like this.

It strikes me that any sufficiently advanced extra-terrestrial civilization will be using point-to-point communications because broadcast is just wasting energy.

Does it come with a "find-my-radio" feature?
