we should not live in total darkness neither.

when the lights are on, EVERYONE'S exposed. No hiding.

when quitting Vim becomes even harder

IMO a lot of the complexity of what an OS comes from:

* the illusion of multi-tasking! (context switching) (when you have one CPU-core)

* the bridge to your hardware! (e.g. ignoring the basics like your CPU/RAM/motherboard/IO devices, network interfaces themselves are an endless, unreliable torrent of data!)

* security! (unless you are literally God and make everything yourself, you have to trust ~something~ external)

* and more....

and complexity for CPUs (even ignoring legacy cruft) comes from :

* Branch prediction

* Register renaming

* Optimizing dat IPC

* More hacks for performance!

* Performance!!!

* and more....

Because at the end of the day, no matter how "simple" things are, creating the universe from scratch is never simple

surely that deters people from stealing them

Interesting. I've always seen feudalism as the response to civilization/empires collapsing (e.g. europe in the dark ages, Japan), and Mesopotamia was a thriving civilization

Well, being hard without any practical means of enforcing it leads to people not respecting the law. TBH I am not sure what to do here

If you want a low-light suburb, check out Irvine, CA on the eastside. Sometimes it's so dark at night, it's scary.

boy he would love living in our times. They gotta bring the video game DLC model to books

Surely some of her team is in Seattle, no? That in of itself can be valuable

Fair enough, it's an elitist attitude!

Think you're misunderstanding the OP. Do you think rust is hard to use?

His skills may be more niche and nuanced than you may make it seem

Do you own a heater that has lasted more than 10 years?

The two do not seem so distinct tbh

Despite not knowing big G's influence on Youtube, I can still say with confidence that YT has been a consitent, huge time sink in the past decade since they were bought.

And don't underestimate how important it is to be capable, performant, and available. Outages and routinely slow performance is how you bleed customers. No doubt G had a hand in bolstering our little video site

C'mon

* Gmail

* Maps

* Chrome

* Youtube (yes, it was acquired. But you cannot deny Google's touch pushed Youtube to the top)

* Flights (seriously, forget all the other sites)

* NGL I love their productivity side (Docs, Keep, Drive is OK I guess)

Not to mention the near countless multi-millionaires Google has created

There is no better teacher than a great adversary. Unfortunately, business concerns trump perfect code

but its success can be undermined by hackers, etc....

When there are adversaries with the time, knowledge, and sometimes money to dismantle you, it absolutely is crucial to obfuscate

It's not about what should be right. When the squeeze for survival comes, might makes right

Big government should just be treated as another customer of Big Tech

perhaps even before that, people in general still lack the discipline and practice of note taking

so a gentle reminder to start taking notes!

Surely he'd have a much better understanding of the bigger picture, but there would be soo much code forgotten if it were me!

Because there's more to governing than the cost/benefit analysis of the business of landlording

More homes means more people means more headaches, without proper planning.

You'll need to build infrastructure and steadily govern your rising population. Not impossible, but definitely more overhead.

And surely all your building will lower the price of housing around the area, thus making you and your fellow rich San Francisco friends, less rich.

Nows the time to transfer to your own wallet

The rebellion itself can be learned

I'd say kids are both malleable and at the same time grow to be incredibly resilient.

I personally do not have kids.

Even dubstep surprisingly. Wobbly, groovy bass sounds (like a wheezy trumpet)

I never thought of Valve as big enough to require contractors. I think this counts as a sign of their ongoing transformation to be more than a game/even software company as they now own hardware and a platform for it

These are at-will employment. So long as you're not fired for belonging to a federally protected class of people

it's not everyone
