Comment Should happen more (Score 1) 12

When you look at the rate of small business buyouts that end up being trashed under the new larger ownership, it boggles the mind that these big companies don't just spin out the smaller company again rather than basically drain the customers and close down the old name and products. Seems kind of dumb, and really would be great to see stories like this happen much more often.

Comment Re: Set Theory and Logic (Score 3, Informative) 177

Set theory and logic sound academic, but theyâ(TM)re the backbone of stuff weâ(TM)ve all done for years - set theory is just dealing with groups of things (like user lists, IP ranges, database rows), and logic is the true/false reasoning behind conditionals (if, and, or, not). Youâ(TM)ve used these every time you wrote a filter, a query, a firewall rule, or debugged a script. Understanding them helps you think clearly, spot inconsistencies, and model complex problems, which are all crucial skills - especially in a world where AI might do the typing, but you still need to ask the right questions
