This is article is contradicting itself although it may not be so obvious. I imagine dwelling on regrets can be classified as a bullshit activity. It certainly does for me. I am sure you can infer the rest of my argument.

Just do the best you can with your time. If you become unhappy with how you spent it you can use that to inform you on future decisions but you can't change the past.

The pain of having missed significant time with someone you care about is severe, but it is also a thing you can't change.

I am not saying pg is wrong, I am pointing out a problem.

Life may be too short to worry about how you are spending your time.

Now watch this question pop up on technical interviews everywhere for days because people read about it here.

> The fab (silicon manufacturing company) gives only a 5 year guarantee for the smartphone/tablet chips (with presumably some allowance).

I'm not sure that bodes well for smart watches selling at 4+ figures.

> Historically, Germany has always been a militaristic country who have repeatedly tried to take over the world

France invaded all of Europe starting in 1803, and pretty much all of the other European powers invaded all the continents of the world, also known as "colonization". Anyway, this thread is such a shit storm of stupidity, ignorance and irate debates that at this point that I'm flagging the entire thing and moving on.

I think the problem with "forgiving" the debt is that 1. someone is going to pay for that debt, the debt that is owed to someone is on their balance sheet as (rapidly declining) value they possess. That is the debt doesn't magically disappear, someone has to pay for it one way or the other. 2. Those in position to pay that debt fear Greece is just a bottomless pit that they'll be "forgiving" debt for a long while to come since Greece's social programs aren't sustainable and there aren't any indicators that Greece's economy will grow fast enough to support them. The problem isn't just debt that's owed now, but the money Greece will owe in the future (and can't pay) given Greece's situation.

People that are going to have to pay for Greece's problems don't just want an end to Greece's current problem just to fall into the same trap soon here after, lurching from one crisis to another. I think that's a pretty fair concern to have.

The Marshall plan was preceded by the Morgenthau plan which would have destroyed Germany's ability to ever create war again, reducing Germany to subsistence level farming. The Allied occupiers actually began destroying the German infrastructure, but it didn't work out however as Europe's economy had historically depended on Germany's industrial base and America and Western Europe needed to counter growing Soviet power in the first beginnings of the cold war.

It other words it had nothing to do with "deserved", Germany was rebuilt out of strategic necessity to face two looming threats to international stability and peace.

Pie charts are already a terrible visualization, this is way worse. You're supposed to compare the area of these half circle shaped rotated slices easily? Should have just used a bar chart, in fact why wouldn't you use a bar chart? You could just have a single box and illustrate the percentage amounts by dividing the box up into different colors to indicate the percentages of a whole, but this? Nope. Tufte would probably not be pleased.

Honest question, wouldn't you just write a lexer with yacc/bison for a DSL? How does a full programming language act as a base for a DSL, which is usually more limited than a programming language?

Well it's lack of security makes it probably not an OS you'd want run untrusted code on. Like if you made a browser for it I'm not sure it would be easy to sandbox it to protect your computer from serious harm. Any program can read from and write to any part of memory if I recall correctly.

There was recent news on the detrimental effects of general anesthesia has on the very young and old. Apparently it can be neurotoxic but healthy adults don't seem to have long lasting problems.

I don't understand the criticism, what are they supposed to say instead? When an attacked company says "we take security seriously" it's probably a statement made by someone in the company who really does care about it and is probably pretty upset about the whole ordeal and wants to fix it. This whole attitude about corporations always being these evil lifeless monoliths who don't care about anything and are just saying whatever they need to stands in contrast with any place I've ever worked. Some of these companies are staffed by people who do care and want to do the right thing and I don't understand what the OP thinks they should say instead.

When Digg died it was a combination of unpopular policy and a completely broken v4 upgrade that broke the site for weeks.

> Can you ignore safari and pretend it doesn't exist, and lose those customers? No. No you can't.

Actually we can, and where I work we do. Never has anyone complained about it. SO everything is just fine. So I don't need to "Suck it up".
