DHJSH | 10 years ago | on: Call for an urgent rethink of the ‘health at every size’ concept
The HAES people don't seem to have a lot of respect for people at normal sizes. It's less "Healthy At Every Size" and more "Healthy at MY Size".

DHJSH | 10 years ago | on: Use micromorts to fight terrorism
People really didn't like my Obesity comment! The number one killer has a "personal responsibility" component and the techno-libertarians here object. Go figure... We live in an upside-down world where good is bad and right is wrong.
DHJSH | 10 years ago | on: Use micromorts to fight terrorism
Ok then! Why aren't we terrified about obesity, which is the leading cause of death in the United States, killing over 300,000 people a year. (See https://www.wvdhhr.org/bph/oehp/obesity/mortality.htm)

Windows hasn't changed? He need to look at Windows 10! We love it here, and we all used to run Macs and OS X.
We develop for Linux, in a virtualbox.

Then just use llgo and compile it to asm.js!
DHJSH | 10 years ago | on: We need less powerful languages
That's why I love Erlang, Scheme and other FP languages. They're so _simple_.

I expected his finger to be bleeding after he picked it up. I'm wondering if it's just a property of the diamond saw, or he likes to live dangerously.

We find the price performance of NVIDIA hard to beat, combined with excellent compiler and developer support.
We get better performance writing CUDA code directly than OpenCL, and it's easier for us to develop and debug.
Yes, it's "proprietary" but we need to get our job done.

DHJSH | 10 years ago | on: Not Even Twitter Understands Twitter
From the article:
"Last year it had a revenue of $1.4 billion, but it's [sic] operational costs was [sic] $1.9 billion"
How on earth could it cost 1.9 Billion to run "Twitter"? 50 WhatsApp engineers and 100 Elixer servers could handle everything. That's just insane. They need to cut costs NOW.
