    Through a few friends I've become a fan of modern US rock over the years. One of my all-time favorites where The Thermals, who disbanded last year. Their work is full of brainy religious and political critique and I wish them all the best.

    The alternative is using actual sticks and guns. Once that happens we are beyond politics and into some sort of civil war. Having studied history that is clearly something that we do not want, especially with right-wing parties that have always thrived in violent environments.

    In my eye there is little point complaining about a right-extremist political party if you are not willing to use legal and political means to work against them. Thats the whole point of politics: beating it out with paragraphs and articles instead of sticks and guns.

    All Germans with any political competence should be looking out for AfD. I am specifically waiting for them to act against "Völkerverständigung" (international understanding). It is a mushy term, but it is what we have in the law.

    Using AI to judge humans - in any capacity - should be outlawed under heavy penalty as a dehumanizing unconstitutional act. Only a human can judge another human, and even those are terrible at it.

    Artificial intelligence is basically the same thing as a staged lottery. You create a system that nobody understands, and then you put stakes on it. It IS as simple as that.

    I currently work with real-time systems. On the side I have been reading through the NASA Core Flight System, which they have open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license. Like it more than and other hobby solutions.

    When we start at a new job we all need to build conceptions of how to function there. Thats why I always ask project managers if they know of and have read the 'Mythical Man Month'. The educated ones always fared better than the ignorant ones.

    pretty good, detailed article how to move on from "agile" and why: (his previous criticism was good too, argues strongly from what are you handling in your project aka not all software is the same)

    Someone recently mentioned 9/11 to me. On that I have a simple statement: happy people are peaceful people. Terror happens mostly because of societal issues. The way to fight it is to build a happy and cooperative society, not focusing on internal and military security.

    Twitter is a strange medium. It makes people feel 'close' (intimate/confronted) even though they are not. This reminds me of an art piece called the "Intimacy Machine" by hacker Jonathan Bachrach.

    In 1984 at the first Hackers Conference, Ted Nelson made some scarily accurate predictions. The internet had not arisen yet.

    CEOs of 200 companies sign a statement on the side of societal ethics. My guess for the reason: they want to be in control with regards to the definition of those ethics.

    But then you look into those 'marvelous' systems and find that they work mostly out of sheer luck. There is a huge need for new investments here.

    The computer industry seems to devalue system engineering, with less investment into operating systems and related technologies than ever before. Investors act like operating systems are a 'done' topic with no commercial value.

    Quick reminder: you know that you are living in a true democracy when all viewpoints get a say and can stand for a vote. Basing decisions solely on demographical majorities is, in fact, anti-democratic. Remember this when watching political news.

    Looks like russia had a small-scale nuclear accident/explosion. Reports point to this being a test failure of a 'Skyfall' propulsion device.

    I have spent the late evening writing a new build system for GCC on MVS. Hoping for more collaboration by publishing it on GitHub. Stuff like that should be collected in a hackable online museum.

    Still worth watching: a 12-year-old TED talk by late Hans Rosling () about the statistics of world population. Hans has done more for my understanding of statistics than school and computers together.

    Using surveys in politics and journalism should be voluntarily regulated. Statistics is not something that people do very well and does little to inform people if used cavalierly. I'd rather have the field report.
