I wondered about generic tools, but didn't find any that would solve this. There's nothing special about my code - it's really just collecting data from the incoming POST vars, rea…

I've tried lucid dreaming with limited success over the years. Here are a couple of relevant links: - RadioLab is a great podcast, they did a lucid dreaming episode: http://www.rad…

What sort of hosting do you use for your main Pg (and Redis) instances?

Gah! I didn't know Clint Mansell did the Moon OST. Must acquire. I have been listening for The Fountain soundtrack (by Mansell) while programming - and I love it. I also just disco…

It's a good question. I am self-taught, and would never call myself a "self-taught computer scientist" ... "self-taught hacker" is just about right. For me the distinction would be…

I got bit by the switch from Ruby to Node.js. The Node.js arrangement was considerably more difficult to set up on the older systems we maintain. Most annoyingly lesscss.org makes …

I was a little dismayed at that point too - but I think the rest of the paragraph clarifies the point well. I think he's talking about a sincere spiritual journey, not "religious p…

Chrome 13 / OSX 10.6.8 - I can navigate the courses pages, but don't see the CLI interface (just the section list, and the Disqus discussion). Also it's not redirecting to any sheb…

I'm always interested in the idea of learning a new shell - but the ubiquity of bash is what generally holds me back. I fear that switching gears for each system I log into would s…

Agreed, every time I see this my arms feel tired.

I agree they can 'live together' through some kind of deliberate training (like meditation) - but also with the right tools (for example http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/writ…

wow - crazy that this popped up tonight. A friend and I just finished a project based on this. It's called "The Virtual State of Jefferson" - it's a router that alters pages to "cl…

To be clear, my comment was made in surprise that that his creativity/passion goes unappreciated - I agree it's an amazing accomplishment. In general though I think the binary of w…

I'm fascinated by this. It's interesting that in that context the creativity/passion/humanity of somebody like David Cope doesn't count. If he's writing software then it's just col…

Deciding that spirituality is a defect from this is the wrong conclusion. The experience of spirituality itself is natural and desirable. As described in the article, it's "self-tr…
