I don't think it's anything but myth that it be a any better outside the borders of America.

I'm looking forward to when academia actually tumbles down. People like James Burke have been awaiting this for ages.

I would like to more about this. Can you point to any interviews or other materials that shed light on Burke's thoughts on academia?

The conclusion of connections season 1 pretty much is that knowledge needs to made more freely available. He has also held a dozen of long winded talks on the topic like e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvIy52kX-uU There also exists this quite more concise interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3XoLycc9io

"Well, what’s wrong with that? Surely we can just do what we did in the days of dumb compilers and pass structures by pointer. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work anymore; compilers are smart now, and they don’t like it when objects alias. " What does that even mean? Does gcc cry after I make it translate code with pointers, I simply don't get it.

"Doesn't work anymore" is a hyperbole. Aliasing can prevent optimizations, like in the code example immediately after that paragraph where the value of `x` needs to be loaded from memory to be returned.

The only thing lacking is a link to the technician's manual, but I imagine that might unfortunately provoke some legal trouble.

You bluntly imply that j.blow wouldn't perish from using unity, but offloading to monopolies is really just a race to the bottom.

Rather sad all of her prior employers are without any regard to humans.

The charge on her record was felony embezzlement, which would totally freak me out if I saw it on a background check for an employee. Yes, maybe they could have asked her about it, but from a legal perspective it's safer for them to just dismiss her without explanation. That's not their fault, that's the way that the system is set up.

It is their fault if they don't notify the candidate as to why she was terminated. Eeoc title 7

Code for asynchronous work, but it's isomorphic whatever that means.
