Very helpful.

Maybe a mention of using https://validator.w3.org/ would also be helpful to check that all the html is correct and complete.

Even if they were, and/or are surrounded by advisors with science credentials, the overwhelming political pressure coming from corporate lobbyists will likely mean science will be ignored.

Superior marketing

It was a political concensus. And that political concensus is still strong today. Our (Australian) politics are infested with it. It is like another reality with them.

"...The man (the authors seem to know it was a man, at least) who wrote the software for this machine did so alone, without documenting what he was doing. The company then sort of vaguely tested it."

Lone wolf programmer, no docs, vague testing. What kind of manager(s) would let this out the door knowing this? Never mind the lone wolf programmer. Find the managers and beat them with sticks

"... better to truck in heavy fuel oil..."

Your answer right there. The nuclear power industry just doesn't lobby hard enough.

So would be Nader Khalili

Outlier? Well that depends on a lot of things - social class, colour, gender, religion, position on the environment etc. What looks like an outlier to you may not be an outlier to lots of other people.

Poverty exacerbated tremendously by financial and social corruption all around.

The Smalltalk web framework "Seaside" is inspired heavily by WebObjects

Too hard to chew gum crawling on all fours

Don't forget that abusing the environment contributed to our achievements.

Why not let the function in the coroutine exit normally?

Maybe I should go read the docs. Killing a coroutine from the outside looks like poor design/bad idea.

What would you use coroutine.close () for?

Junk DNA do not encode information (that we know of as of now) but seem to have the role that pragmas/annotations/compiler directives have in code.

Edit: for clarity

Or maybe I am thinking of epigenetics...

Have you tried sarcasm? Works a treat. Little by little, undermine them by agreeing but disagreeing with subtle sarcasm until they doubt themselves.

Works, but don't become an asshole yourself.

Wayne, is that you?

I hated you at first for modifying the core libraries to break standard fuctionality, writing 500-line SQL statements full of string concatenations and using mutable globals all over the place, but now I see your point. Thanks, I have been earning an above average salary fixing your bugs and I will have a job for life. Still, fuck you man.

I have been watching this for a while: the Chez Scheme concurrency engine

Another in Gambit Scheme, but it hasn't been touched in a while:

Post from the implementing engineer himself: http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2017-December/0...

That Quora post refers to Facebook Chat - not WhatsApp. As far as I am aware, it is still implemented in Erlang.

Caring will do nothing now. It is almost certainly too late to stop the permafrost from melting.

I already thought of that but it would be difficult because it is far less "believable" if an individual manufactured these things than if the government did it.

That is why things like all those Lochness Monster hotels go broke all the time. People start disbelieving that stuff quickly.

I have always wondered why the US government never took advantage of this sort of thing to make serious money. Just think of a massive extraterrestrial-themed resort in the desert in the vicinity of Area 51. Think of all the licensing deals.

The Epstein affair was not just Epstein the single individual. He could not have operated alone all these years in the way that he did. He got lenient sentences whenever he was brought to justice. The people who supported him remain untouchable.

You don't happen to have documented these at all by chance? I am particularly interested in NetBSD.

Ah, the ol' "Do as we say and not as we do" clause by Google, huh.

Depends on the colour of your skin, your class, your job, your sexuality, how you part your hair, your tattoos etc.

Yup, otherwise the all seeing-eye will be upon you all. Wait a minute, it already is. And we technologists made it happen

Just stop openly criticizing everyone and everything. Be super-compliant and everything will be sweet.
