autonomous nuclear torpedo. when the time comes to nuke The Breach, beats pouring trillions into giant mind-controlled robots and walls in cost/benefit.
God, i read the whole thing. I am now very used to this kind of discourse, so it's not surprising to me anymore. but it is pure Orwellian horror. I was expecting at least some level of 'debate' or disagreement at the madness of this, which more or less appears, usually. but no, not even that. scary. very scary.
it was a matter of time for them to 'get with the times', moreso with microsoft moving everything to run on the.NET runtime.
i'm surprised they went with Python instead of Powershell, given that Powershell is a functional language by nature, and well integrated to the MS ecosystem (and their love for proprietary non-interoperable tools).
i'm more both incredible surprised and thankful the did NO go with Javascript.
I don't see how this has anything to do with/.
are you sure you posted the story to the right site, Beau? Did you get it mixed-up with your second job at Gizmodo? because this totally feels like a Gizmodo story.
I have legally bought a generous amount of O'Reilly ebooks. I read mostly on my kindle and the mobi files where always quite good. also, no DRM at all. Also, being a regular customer gave you a 50% discount or someething, so the price was quite reasonable. And saved you a whole evening fishing for a 'free alternative' of exactly the book i wanted, in mobi/epub format. If it existed at all. The money/time/effort/content quality tradeoff was quite good, in my case. Now, O'Reilly is mostly an endless flow of the latest of the latest of the newest and up and coming fad and rehash tech of the week. Not much interesting to me anymore. I don't really need 'buying' a book (at most) of that every month, month after month. I think the authors of good books really deserve my money. O'Reilly now? not so sure.

what a coincidence! I am no longer buying O'Reilly books, videos. win-win.
"Then how are you going to coordinate the riot?" beforehand, carefully.
