I am pretty sure that Zuckerberg feels the same way as you do and that he does not WANT Facebook (or Twitter or Google) to become the arbiter of what is "true". This is getting imposed on him by governments everywhere. Facebook is not the problem. The problem is the people on it who post there.
That said, I think we as a society need to come to grips with the limits of free speech, and more controversially, the concept of relative truth and free will and their interactions. The problems that Facebook has created was an unintended emerging property of the whole system. Facebook, like alcohol, drugs, guns, gambling, sex-for-sale, cigarettes and fast cars, is popular because it gives people something they want. And just like laws have been formulated to regulate smoking, prostitution, gambling, ban drugs and weapons possession and put speed limits on roads to protect people from their own stupidity, we are going to have to look at the dangerous psychological need to believe and only read the stuff you want to believe. All of these things ban things that give people an adrenaline rush and bypasses the systems of constraint in the brain. Access to information that you want to believe and a feeling of belonging to a group is just another example.
The problem is not FaceTwitterGoogleBook. The problem is the speed of the network connecting people. The Internet itself radically changes the speed of information dissemination. Mostly this is good, but despite the fundamentalism of cyber-libertarians, it also has serious disadvantages. And those disadvantages, sadly, stem from people behaving in ways they perhaps should not. Whether we like it ot not.
I don't like it either, but just as with the examples above, we need to deal with the fact that free speech and responsibility of adults has limits.
Maybe so, but most smartwatches I see around here are on older people. Especially at the gym. I get the feeling that people begin to like the idea that you can do 90% of the useful things on a watch without 90% of the distracting crap like InyourFacebook. Fitnesss tracking is much better too.
The one I freak about most is JavaScript fear of concurrency and the whole callback/promise/async nightmare that enters every fiber of the being of a Node program. Seriously, no. Did we invent 16 core hyperthread CPUs for what again? I know concurrency with locks is a horrid stupid minefield but we have much better ways of handling ut now, pioneered by Java
Dunno. I collect spices,herbs and any sort of chilli you can imagine. So my wife moans that kitchen is cluttered...BUT i am a very good cook, so she is fine with that. Depends on what you collect.
And I know a guy who collects antique cars. Sure his missus moans, but she also drives them.
So were the the first cars, the first touch phones, the first planes and penicillin. Al inventions start like that. Hell even the wheel was probably a toy for rich boy cavemen at first
I actually used Ventura on Gem. Was totally rad except I only had a dot matrix printer. But it triggered a lifelong fascination and sort of career with DTP and documents. Today I toyed with indesigns touch mode as a result.
I saw Stallman speak once and honestly, he came over as a religious cult figure. If Jesus came back 2000 years later he would be much like Stallman.
The crowd actually had people entranced by him in some dreamlike hypnotic state. HE had a robe on and came on to the stage with a halo on his head and announced himself as St Stallman of the Church of Gnu. He acted Jesus, had the Jesus arguments and got the same response as Jesus. He was a latter day Jesus. It was an amazing performance.
Same religious charm, same socialist crap, same complete disregard for the fact that people have to eat, same disregard for the reality that a brotherhood of man will never happen and giving anyone anything free they would take it and the creator would starve.
I actually had the gall to ask him QA what he thinks of the MPAA and RIAA. That set of the most incredible nuclear firestorm rant I ever saw.
Extended expressiveness is big nowadays. Go look at the Roli Seaboard and MPE. As for DAW integration, you donâ(TM)t know what you are talking about. Go look at NKS for a good implementation It will be good to see NKS become a standard as it is currently Native Instruments proprietary.
There are currently lots of ideas for extensions to MIDI around and being implemented by different companies. It is time to come together and sort things out a bit.
Oh yeah. Thanks for bringing back the memory. Once popped over a friends house and he was playing Privateer and used an actual keyboard with Midi as opposed to my Sound Blaster and Gravis Ultrasound. I was suitably impressed.

I am pretty sure your local red light district will have an establishment that caters to your needs
Laplink over Thunderbolt. There is a good idea...

Q: Why is the anti-vaxxer's 4-year-old kid crying?
A: He is having a midlife crisis
Don't worry, mother nature is a bitch. She is going to take care of the anti-vaxxer 'tards.
Considering that android Versions are named after candies and sweets âDipshitâ(TM) just wrecked my sugar cravings
And i have seen a lot more in the last year. Maybe the hardware is finally fast enough to be useful

Today my boss mentioned the word Python and I pulled out my CV
Um no. The runtime is good but the language is trash. You have it the wrong way around
That assumes a loooooot of very detailed expertise by the security manager and breaks every API on Java that is usable.

Android should be the default answer. Java is VERY heavily used, considering android is a dominant platform now
No, a cybernecrophiliac
At least That should make the vampires from Oracle happy
> Tcl is great
No it is not. Have you ever programmed in it??
If it is Turing Complete it is a programming language. In that list HTML and CSS need not apply.

Next was owned by Steve and he was, at the time, fired from Apple

Everyone and his cat thinks ME is the worst thing MS ever made, even worse than Vista

Yes, and my Yamaha keyboard uses USB midi with a non standard protocol. Thanks Yamaha, now I cant use it as a controller.
