Some years ago, I heard a retired Lutheran priest ponder, in radio, about the concept of a prayer, and whether, as an edge case, an unborn child could be able to pray, with the chi…

There appears to be many comments here, arguing that authoring web content in markdown is nothing new, and correctly so. But this (along with md-page and mdwiki mentioned in other …

I think the largest barrier for FOSS is still that the greater public doesn't know about FOSS, at all, and even less at the concept level. Because FOSS largely is still not on the …

I'm reading those comments just as a sign that people feel strongly about climate. There's a lot of talk about the need to do things for the environment, but not much visible work …

> “I hope we’ll see A.I. tools become a productivity tool in the practice of reporting and finding clues,” said Hilary Mason, the general manager for machine learning at Cloudera, …

Rich Hickey has a good point in his Rails Conf 2012 "Simplicity Matters" talk[0] - json is just more simple than xml, as it clearly states which parts are maps and which are sequen…
