azaras··on Bitcoin: The World's First Decentralized Ponzi Scheme
I think that it is not a pure sum zero game. It has a input, the money from illegal activities (drugs, black money, illegal prostitution...) which has less value as input that as output.

He is a libertarian socialist therefore he doesn't like state socialism.
azaras··on Linux kernel coding style
I like gofmt which avoids this problem in golang.
azaras··on Why Capitalism Creates Pointless Jobs
...but there is work to make things more efficient and perhaps the author could invest more time in thinking about that.

Not all in life is about efficient things. Anthropologists and philosophers are involved in something else.

Rock music has more information (in Shannon's sense) than classical music.

I was working in a system like this some time ago. I thought that you need a sensor for each appliance. I like the idea of AI to detect the electrical signature of appliances and only use one sensor.
azaras··on The Scala ecosystem
I am not a Scala developer but I try to learn it. I think that the problem with Scala, as well as with C++, is: It has too much features.

I think it is better to learn several programming languages that one overloaded.

Whith an overloaded programming language you have: A very few programmers that understand the whole thing and others that understand only some parts.

Whith several simple programming languages you have: A very few programmers that understand all the languages well and others that only understand one but well.

azaras··on Here is why Emacs uses Meta key
The worst key, in modern keyboards, when using Emacs is CTRL key.

In the Lisp Keyboard we can see that CTRL key can be press with the thumb.

The bottom corner position in modern keyboards is painful for the pinky finger.

For years I switch CTRL key and TAB key, whereas this is better, you still overuse pinky finger.

Nowadays I use palm to press CTRL (I found this trick here: http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_pinky.html). I stick a pad on CTRL buttons to improve the trick.

azaras··on Typed Python: new Mypy release
I am sorry I made a mistake. You are right. Thanks for the explanation.
azaras··on Typed Python: new Mypy release
My problem with Scala is that it is more complicated than Python. I like Python simplicity.
azaras··on Typed Python: new Mypy release
You could use:

import pip

pip.main(['install', 'bar'])

azaras··on Typed Python: new Mypy release
I don't try it yet but it remember me Groovy type system. It is a great feature.

No type checker was one of the bigger flaws in Python.

When in Groovy, I use type checker in public functions and APIs. It is a good communication tool.

In my opinion, Python is better than Groovy. This feature still make it better.

azaras··on Understanding nested list comprehension syntax in Python
My rule of thumb: Better for loops when there is more than one "for" and one "if" in a list comprehension.

I think it is more pythonic.

Zen of python: Explicit is better than implicit. Simple is better than complex. Sparse is better than dense. Readability counts.

azaras··on Twenty Seconds Curriculum Vitae in LaTex
I prefer "moderncv".
azaras··on An introduction to Tmux
I recommend Byobu. Byobu is an elegant enhancement of tmux or Gnu Screen.

For me Byobu is for far easier to use than Tmux.

azaras··on Ask HN: What are some examples of beautiful software?
This is awful code for Python but beautiful for Ruby. Python is "simplicity" and Ruby is "clever".

azaras··on You Don't Need JQuery
And return [] when the DOM API return null.
azaras··on Have Static Languages Won?
An alternative is optional static languages like Groovy or alternatives like python Type Hints (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/) are better than pure dynamic languages.
azaras··on Is Facebook killing your iPhone’s battery or are you?
I agree with you. I think that a wifi in the same room to test the apps could be better aproach.

The tower can not be accurate for this.

azaras··on Docker names generator guards against ever returning “boring_wozniak”
I don't understand Go but: It is the "goto" necessary? A "loop" will not be better?
azaras··on Supercomputers: Obama orders world's fastest computer
