Nel campo fondamentale delle cuffie per marziani la lotta fra pragmatisti e idealisti sta per infuriare come mai prima. In questo pezzo funambolico di Joel Spolsky ci sono rabbini ortodossi, le oscure specifiche di importanti protocolli, l'errore di Postel e molto altro. Adesso te lo segnalo, torno a leggerlo e seguo tutti i link:
If you've ever visited the ultra-orthodox Jewish communities of
Jerusalem, all of whom agree in complete and utter adherence to every
iota of Jewish law, you will discover that despite general agreement on
what constitutes kosher food, that you will not find a rabbi from one
ultra-orthodox community who is willing to eat at the home of a rabbi
from a different ultra-orthodox community. And the web designers are
discovering what the Jews of Mea Shearim have known for decades: just
because you all agree to follow one book doesn't ensure compatibility,
because the laws are so complex and complicated and convoluted that
it's almost impossible to understand them all well enough to avoid
traps and landmines, and you're safer just asking for the fruit plate. [Joel Spolsky: Martian Headset]
