That morality is system-sensitive escaped the attention of most codifiers of ethics in the past. "Thou shalt not ..." is the form of traditional ethical directives which make no allowance for particular circumstances. The laws of our society follow the pattern of ancient ethics, and therefore are poorly suited to governing a complex, crowded, changeable world.

To couple the concept of freedom to breed with the belief that everyone born has an equal right to the commons is to lock the world into a tragic course of action. "The Tragedy of the Commons", Freedom To Breed Is Intolerable
An idiot can inherit millions, and a trust fund can keep his estate intact. We must admit that our legal system of private property plus inheritance is unjust--but we put up with it because we are not convinced, at the moment, that anyone has invented a better system.

The irony is that many, perhaps most, of the programmers who have the skill set needed to win programming competitions (the ability to write mostly-correct fast algorithms quickly) have little or no design sense. And yet, according to the ACM, the most august body in computer science, these people are "the best programmers"! This sends a message that the ability to design a program well is not an important skill, and explains a lot about why we have to live with bad software which keeps crashing all the time. Why I hate programming competitions

W samym sercu religii (...) tkwią pewne idee, które określa się mianem świętości, sacrum, czy jeszcze inaczej. Ich sens jest taki: „O tej idei nie wolno ci powiedzieć złego słowa; po prostu nie wolno. Dlaczego nie? Bo nie, i już!”. Jeżeli ktoś głosuje na partię, z której poglądami się nie zgadzamy, wolno nam spierać się o to do woli, ale nikt się nie obraża. Jeżeli ktoś jest zdania, że podatki trzeba podnieść lub obniżyć, można się o to spierać. Ale kiedy ktoś powie „Nie wolno mi zapalać lampy w sobotę”, mówimy: „Szanuję to”. Douglas Adams

It's a game where you can make an alliance with Honor, fight a duel with Fire, and sleep with Night in the long drowsy hours between. (...) What's important is whom you know, and how they feel about you. What's important is how you choose to treat the world. The universe cares about you. (...)

Stan gier fabularnych w Polsce
- Na pl.rec.gry.rpg pustki.
- Wydawnictwo Mag wycofało się z gier fabularnych, a to oznacza kaput dla moich ulubionych Gasnących Słońc i dla Przebudzenia Ziemi (chociaż to drugie doczekało się polskiego fanowskiego dodatku).
- Nie ma już żadnej drukowanej gazety poświęconej RPG (ostatni był "Gwiezdny Pirat").
- Inkluza też już nie ma, jest za to Wieża Snów.
- Rynek opanowany przez Dungeons & Dragons, prócz tego Portal wydaje Neuroshimę i Monastyr. Niepewny ruch jest też wokół Crystalicum.
- W 2005 roku wyszła druga edycja WFRP; są również planowane nowe dodatki.
- Wciąż przyznawany jest Quentin.

The Stationers reasoned, people who write would always need a publisher's cooperation to make their work generally available. Their strategy used this fact to maximum advantage.

None of these scaling approaches are as fun and easy as developing for Rails. All the convenience methods and syntactical sugar that makes Rails such a pleasure for coders ends up being absolutely punishing, performance-wise. Once you hit a certain threshold of traffic, either you need to strip out all the costly neat stuff that Rails does for you (RJS, ActiveRecord, ActiveSupport, etc.) or move the slow parts of your application out of Rails, or both. 5 Question Interview with Twitter Developer Alex Payne
The film reminds us that, of all strange things we can imagine, the weirdest is reality itself. Slavoj Zizek about "Children of Men"
The absurdity of the situation, when put in the wider context, is breath-taking: with tens of millions dying of AIDS and hunger all around the world, the public opinion in the US focused on a single case of prolonging the run of a naked life, of a persistent vegetative state deprived of all specifically human characteristics. These are the two extremes we find ourselves today with regard to human rights: on the one hand those "missed by the bombs" (mentally and physically full human beings, but deprived of rights), on the other hand a human being reduced to bare vegetative life, but this bare life protected by the entire state apparatus. Slavoj Zizek about "Children of Men"
If the old hierarchic societies oppressed vital forces through their rigid ideological systems and the state apparatuses that enforced them, today’s societies are losing their vitality through their very permissive hedonism: everything is allowed, but decaffeinated, deprived of its substance.

The cyclomatic complexity of a section of source code is the count of the number of linearly independent paths through the source code. Cyclomatic complexity
A low cyclomatic complexity contributes to a program's understandability and indicates it is amenable to modification at lower risk than a more complex program. A module's cyclomatic complexity is also a strong indicator of its testability. Cyclomatic Complexity

There was a mindset for a long time that to have proper model-view separation, you needed to have the HTML in a template file that was modified by the designer that was linked in various ways to the code. You had your objects, you had your HTML template, and then you had a binding file that described how they are related to each other. Different vendors did that in different ways, but Seaside throws that away too, and says, 'No, we are going to have programmatic HTML generation. Each component is just going to be given a canvas and is going to spit out its own HTML, using that API. Heresy and turtles (all the way down) with Avi Bryant

C should only be used to implement something better. thorat, via Haskell Weekly News
Any cure which relies on tighter regulation of the market — especially the kind of extreme measures being advocated by some people — is far worse than the disease. As a widespread phenomenon rather than a nuisance, piracy occurs when artificial restrictions in the market jack up prices beyond what people think are reasonable. The "regulation-enforcement-more regulation" strategy is a bottomless pit which continually recreates (on a larger scale) the problem it supposedly solves. And that commercial effect is often compounded by the more general damage done to social and political freedom. Introducing the Baen Free Library

He had located the data he was working on near the top of memory -- the largest locations the instructions could address -- so, after the last datum was handled, incrementing the instruction address would make it overflow. The carry would add one to the operation code, changing it to the next one in the instruction set: a jump instruction. Sure enough, the next program instruction was in address location zero, and the program went happily on its way. The Story of Mel, a Real Programmer
