what does the labourer's perspective have to do with anything.

if there are a 100 dollars today and tomorrow there are 200. a dollars worth is halved right? or?

Got some secret insight on supply demand, that the general public is unaware of?

I would sooo like to know :-)

The simple idea of you print more money therefore each dollar, euro... has less value, therefore inflation.

Works for me

Scrum stems from lean not agile

How does it compare to synfig?

Canonical trying too hard

Interesting how Lisp is used in production

Just like SQL was ment to be an easy to use tool for business people to query data :-)

Try looking into political betting sites.

Another option is userland if you need a full linux

They also made geomesa. A geospatial graph database that can run on top of bigtable/accumulo, hbase, cassandra and kafka.

I think it comes down to the scientific method. In math and physics new theories are proven extensions or replacements of previous theories. In philosophy you do not have the same kind of proof, there is more room for interpretation. And then of cause there is the beauty and concisenes of the old texts

Work is beeing done to transition datascript into a a much more database like thing:

"datahike is a durable database with an efficient datalog query engine. This project is a port of datascript to the hitchhiker-tree."

ELI5 ActivityPub vs xmpp semantics

The guix team have de-systemded gnome they use Shepherd. But it would be great to have these efforts upstream

What a strange article, his first issue: "I am happy to be contradicted with data, but too often I see this issue being discussed with links to web articles citing other web articles, finally citing studies which suffer from the issues listed below. Maximum output at work is traded off" while he him self does not cite a single scientific article

Pretty much any code editor with a jump to source, is a user friendly graph editor. And with refactoring tools, a good debugger and compiler I can't see what is missing

So the earth is flat - told you so :-)

Could be but first you have to find a candidate star. And with all radom noise where would you start

If they use encryption it would be very hard to detect a sinal

UPDATE We have had computers for less than a 100 years, and with i2p we hav already created a technoligy that would hide us from other aliens

Scientist all arround the world is trying to create artificial life. If they are successfull then we have a mesure for level 4

Cl has fset for persisten collections

Lisp. Clojure for instance has a built in logic language called miniKanren

According to w3counter ff and ie are neck to neck.

Last month ff was ahead

Or Linux which as an OS far surpasses e.g. windows. It runs on any hardware you can imagine from satellites to hand-held devices and the majority of the super-computers in the world.

Earlier this year at goto copenhagen I heard a good talk by Tim bray:

http://gotocon.com/cph-2014/presentation/Privacy%20and%20Sec...

Where he argues that even though we can not achieve complete security there is great value in raising the bar. If we continuously make it increasingly harder for NSA, MOSAD, GCHQ and the rest of them to spy on us, we can achieve good enough privacy. Where most communication will be secure. But he also argues that if one of these agencies really wants to target YOU specifically they will get to the information. By breaking into your house and installing cameras, if necessary.

I agree this article is bad on many levels. But I also think it catches one important point. People who are pursuing a goal, that they themselves have committed to will be more productive

This is the greatest introduction to clojure I have seen so far

GCHQ at least on paper, is supposed to protect the British society. But as a wise man once said: You can not serve two masters.

Who does GCHQ serve? The British or the hand that feed them.

If it becomes possible to play up to date and current games, then yes this will change the picture allot. I have tried to persuade many of my friends to switch to Linux, but I am always met with the same question: can I play X,Y,Z. And when my answer is not as well as on Windows, then they always decline. Gaming is the only barrier that I have met from my friends.

My wife wants MS office because that is what they use on her workplace. So the point about low conversion do to the corporate world could seem plausible, but I do not think so. Most companies that I have work for is afraid to change because the employees are afraid of change.

If people start using GNU/Linux at home the barrier for change will be much lower in the workspace. And adoption can move ahead rapidly.
