"Who Will Mourn the Tech Bro?
The subculture you love to hate is tough to define. It will be even tougher when itโs gone."
"I asked Ingram to define โtech broโ for me. She offered: men working in tech who have 'a disregard for other people because they believe that everyone in the world is treated equally.'
This made more sense than anything Iโd heard. Itโs a definition that addresses the industryโs theoretical status as equalizer, its proponentsโ view of themselves as forces for democratization. They write the code that permits tiny businesses to process credit cards, or allows almost anyone, regardless of background or monetary worth, to maintain their own website. The god in the machine as deliverer of equality through binary code. The ones and zeros see us as all the same."

anyone else remember when the linux community was proud of its support for old hardware and not desperate to jettison it as quickly as possible?

RT @angryrobotbooks
Count Dracula was 412 when he moved to England in search of new blood.
Sauron was 54,000 years old when he forged The One Ring.
Cthulhu had seen galaxies flare into life and fade to darkness before he put madness in the minds of men.
It's never too late to follow your dreams!

A common misconception is that #Python is slow and cannot be fixed.
In this new #Nature #Astronomy article we reassert Python can be performant via awareness of and use of efficient compilers. Read more here:
